The person willing to be a slumlord, harass tenants and break laws.

But it can also send them into a counter lawsuit claiming harassment. 

I “pay” a synthetic rent ( the one i would have to pay to have a similar house, assuring i can live for a long period ( landlord happy, so no harassment of moving every 1 or 2 years plus taxes, maintenance minus the money working.If theres a huge difference, then my house is a liability.

Their coughs hurt my ears more, their fear becomes my fear, I check on the them to the point of harassment, can’t help it, can’t fix it, they’re on a path I can’t cure, can only support through.

I love the new location and that I can take a walk in the afternoon and not be harassed.

I had to call the cops several times to warn them to stop harassing me. 

Get a copy of the application form you filled out.download the landlord tenant laws for your state and review the application form for any wording that would apply.In my opinion the landlord is NUTS... no signed lease.. and he can't collect double rent.. for any days the prior tenant was in the unit. although this shouldn't even be part of the action.I'd write him a stiff hard point by point letter and say no harassment or have your lawyer do it. that you want a letter stating the matter is closed no further action will be taken by him and if he does not comply you will file a action with the Fair Housing department.  

Don't make it easier for the to harass you.

For example, ensure your tenants are aware (without harassing them) that rent is delayed and not forgiven. 

She harassed us CONSTANTLY with strange requests during this time period.
