eviction warning

I have posted previously about my situation w/ the downstairs tenant and the exaggerated and ridiculous accusations brought against me, the eviction warning from my landlords lawyer, and the constant headache this has caused. I have done what I could to smooth the situation and remained polite and respectful of the woman downstair even after the fact. My question is if these problems continue with the tenant downstairs does the fact that all the accusations are hearsay brought about by one person and there can't be substantiated proof since none was presented even after my request to the landlord and my actions definitely do not offer any. Do I have a chance to win this case if taken to court and should I counter sue for harassment and legal fees? Thanks

Hello again, Lynx:

Uhhhh, what I said last time.

Couple more things. Your problem isn’t any longer with the downstairs tenant. It's with your landlord. I would NOT speak to her at all.

Next. Proof, schmoof! She doesn't need proof for the landlord; the landlord doesn't need proof for the lawyer, and the lawyer doesn’t need proof to threaten you. PROOF is for the judge. That's the only place you need to prove anything.

Speaking of proof. You're worried about losing? Why? DOES she live there? If she does, then you SHOULD be worried about losing. But, if she doesn't, then she HAS rent and utility receipts from where she DOES live. That's the only PROOF you need. That's the only proof the judge is looking for. Without it, you're toast.

No, you should not sue for harassment. Yes, you're feeling harassed, but that doesn't mean someone is harassing you. There IS a legitimate question here. No? Plus, if you go to small claims court, there ARE no legal fees.

Hello Carolin:

No, but there is a small claims court where you can go to get your money.
