Good afternoon!
I'd like to ask questions regarding libel, slander, invasion of privacy, and discrimination based on a mental disability, if I may.
I am involved in an eviction suit with my landlord and will be filing a countersuit to theirs in small claims court. I've researched all the Property Code statutes regarding my case and have been able to document for the court most all of them that the landlord has violated. The only ones I am not certain about are the four I mentioned above.
A leasing agent here at the apt. complex, representing herself as the on-site manager, told other tenants that they would be evicting me. This information made it's way into a police report (I have a copy of it in my possession.). Is this considered libel, slander, or invasion of privacy since the leasing agent told other tenants information that was none of their business and it made it's way into a public document?
Also, the real on-site manager called me a "lunatic" to a person who was calling her on my behalf seeking information. This person then told me what the manager had called me. I am not a lunatic, but I am on Social Security disability for major depression and the apt. complex knew that when they leased to me. Is the manager guilty of libel, slander, invasion of privacy, or discrimination due to my mental and emotional disability?
Any help or information you can provide is greatly appreciated! I will be filing my countersuit in small claims court early next week, so an answer by then would be terrific!
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Jodyel
