my family and I have been in a property for three years. Yes, we have paid the rent but we have been late just because pay periods do not fall on the date that rent is due. so therefore the landlord is filing eviction. There are many other reasons and altercations that have happened between the landlord. For example, him assaulting me in front of my kids. Another scenario is him unlocking the front door and coming in the house while I was asleep as well. I have a hearing this upcoming week how do I file for retaliation of Landlord? Do I file it on the same day of the eviction hearing or do I just go ahead and file it? to my knowledge I can file up to 20,000 the max as long as I represent myself instead of having to hire counsel. Please help with ideas and input
I forgot to mention as well, the landlord raised the rent because we were always late every month
