My ex landlord set a fire to our home after he had no grounds to legally evict and lost 2 two consecutive tries, then collected the insurance money to remodel the substandard 60 yr old home with no updated appliances or much needed repairs. He managed to do everything legally wrong to get us out after the fire which was documented by several calls to the police by us which ended up pissing off our local police and after each call hearing his lies about us became more interested in us than him and I was even taken to jail 2 times because of his lies about us and almost 2 years later I am still being stopped and asked about my supposed drug addictions and use and I don't even drink! I have had a fear of cops now and won't ever go to them for help when he even lied about me trespassing on the property where I lived, each time different cops would come and so they all listened more to him and his lies more so than why they were called in the first place..I was handcuffed,arrested and in back of the squad car before I had a chance to tell this cop my side and what relly happened..Anytime I was alone in the house with no witnesses he would threaten my life....The Firemen who put out the fire which was contained in the kitchen area only because of the asbestos based fire retardent and luckily kept the old home from going up like kindleing..The firemen did not red-tag the house after the fire to my landlords dismay so he continued to do annoying things like stealing or just blatently disposing of my my personal property, giving us daily 24 notices to enter the home to do "repairs" having nothing to do with the fire or the horrendous smoke damage that occoured..by the fire, like removing our woodburning stove in the middle of winter.. our only heat source.. removing bathroom fixtures and toilet , removed front doors and locks which told by the cops we called to be done by the ebnd of the day which was never done and I had to buy new locks and replace them myself after 6 days.. He let PGE and water expire as our utilities were included in our rent, he used the court system and perjured documents he filed and a falsified rental contract to try to extort money from us even when we had documents like cancelled checks as proof. He disposed of all evidence of ground zero where the fire was started by illegally entering our home without our knowledge or permission and swept everything up and took it immediantly to the dump when he didn't even take his own piles and piles of garbage around the property.. He stole my car, a 94 Saab convertable, valued at 3-4K claiming he had it donated it and refused to tell me to whom but when I never recieved any lein notices I went to the DMV and was told my signature was on the bill of sale and I should report it as a stolen vehicle to thew police but my new found phobia of cops wouldn't let me do it...Everything is documented and provable by DMV records, He illegally disposed of my personal property and fire damaged items I needed for insurance purposes. I informed the Fire squad of my information and discrepancies in our stories but ey mentioned nothing of my suspisions in their report. I invited them back to see the damage in the daylight but they declined, the report did however mention the several times prior to our living as tenants that they had been called making me believe it was not his first try..
I want to sue him in civil court from personal injury to housing code violations documented by county workers and our pictures showing the damage he created instead of fixing, his defamation of charactor to our local police and after two years they still stop me and check for warrents and ask me when was the last time I used.. checking my arms and seaching my person even though I have never had a drug charge in my life and I am 53 years old..No local laywers specializing in this area are willing to take my case so I will file on my own at first..He needs to be reckoned with and I would love to take him on because I lost so much more than just a home, my son and I are still suffering by not being able to rent because the public documents regarding the eviction which he never won but doesn't matter, my loss of income, the small insurance settlement I recieved for my loss was not used to replace my damaged goods but for our temporary housing, my car, my self esteem and my pride and self confidence is still at an all time low.. Now I hear he is doing the same thing to new renters and never did the repairs needed and re-rented the house red-tagged and all as is to his next victims. We have collaberation from people who also lived on the property at the time and witnessed everything, Why won't any attorneys help me when it seems like such open and shut case with all the people documents and witnesses I have as my case?? Is it a dumb idea to not have an attorney with such a complicated and highly documented case?? 1 yr and 8 months have passed so if I do it it is my last few months to do this..
