Real Estate Tenancy laws Sexual Harassment
I live in an apartment. When I moved in, I didn’t sign a lease or any kind of rental agreement regarding any late fees if they didn’t have their rent by the 5th. of the month. I was just told it was due by the 5th. I was late one time and the landlord told me I owed him forty dollars. I paid him the forty dollars on the first of the next month. This was 1 year ago, now my landlord informs me that I owe him forty dollars for each successive month after that, because it worked like a revolving account. It just kept building for all these months without me knowing anything about it. My landlord is harrassing me to kick my boyfriend out of the apartment and he will work out what he says I owe him. He has already served me with a handwritten notice to leave the premises. The landlord told me if my boyfriend leaves he will drop the whole thing. He constantly stops by to take care of the water softener and tells me how much he’d like to have sex with me and to get rid of my boyfriend. He makes me very uncomfortable and I hide when I see him pull up. I want to know how much of this behavior he can get away with?
