I rent a room on a 30 day lease from the owner who is also my roommate. She's increasingly hostile, sends texts with any hour of the day or night with trivial household issues and demands despite a request in writing more then once not to continue as it effects my health issues . She's been continuously negligent of her obligations such as not fixing the water heater going on over 2 months. No ability to access hot water for showers, cleaning, etc.. She's also for the second time put a lock box on the homes thermostat controls and is gone for days leaving me unable to adjust the homes temperature. I am disabled and told her this negatively effects my health. She removed it then 3 days ago put it back on, locked the doors to all rooms but mine and common areas, left town and would not respond to my request to take off the locked thermostat, repair and provide hot water to the home and more. Then I discovered 2 nights ago she's been secretly video and audio recording me in real time going directly to her smart phone with a petcam recorder capable of recording 160 degree range, infer red technology, night visual recoding and high power zoom that could see the dining area, living room, down the hall into the bathroom if the door is opened. I have no idea how long she's been doing this but saw the light recording with the rest of the unit hidden behind a tile. She's increasingly hostile and texted me a picture of 30 day notice to evict me 2 days ago as well. Can I go to the police and /or contact her homeowners for help?. She's a avid gun enthusiast, target shoots weekly and I have no idea if she keeps her firearm in the home. I'm scared, she's become irrational, unpredictable and unresponsive to reason and I can't afford to immediately stay anywhere until I find another home. I am female and a disabled senior as well.
