luckily i live by the mato everyone's guilty to proven innocent!...

Below message I received from one of my units concerning unit above them :“Evening Joe Barbie here pleading with you to ask the people upstairs to have some consideration for us working people.

The Harasser later pleaded guilty to harassment and a protective order was entered prohibiting him from contacting the Tenant.The Tenant filed a lawsuit against the Manager, alleging violations of the FHA, New York’s fair housing laws, and various other causes of action related to the emotional trauma resulting from the harassment.

I might have to insist on the owner bringing cash (he has ten rentals out of state but of course will plead poverty) or having a much thinner deal.

Here's the thing, although I'm guilty of purchasing a late night "Guru" course, I never thought I would get all of the answers and know how from the "initial" package deal, I had to start somewhere!

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.

Check local laws to see if warning signs are needed to protect the guilty...

Show up to court without a lawyer plead your case, win, and the judge will usually give you possession within 3-5 business days.  

You're doing fine, don't let anyone make you feel guilty for not bending over backwards and throwing money at every request and *perceived* problem.

Don that is a very tragic event I am sure he has not dealt with fully if he has turned to drugs.You can't just stop doing something.You have to replace it with something else to fill the space.WHITE KNUCKLING and WILL POWER will eventually only lead to failure.My mom worked for years and years at a violence center for women and dealt with people that had issues.You can guide them and try to show the way but at the end of the day it is their choice to want to live or die.Just take in every moment your son is present and in the moment with you and try to cherish those memories.Right now your main goal is to protect the innocent children and take away any bad modeling behavior they are witnessing that can impact them for life.When you kick a habit you have to do something else.Example: Smoking - Bike Riding,Drinking- going to church,drugs-exercise etc.Everyone has stress in their lives and that will never change.As we get older the stress does not go away it just transforms into something else.You might used to have worried about money,then it's your kids,then it's old age,mortality etc.Until your son sees a counselor to deal with these issues and learn coping skills he is going to medicate himself to not feel anything.The first few sessions of therapy is just small talk.The real work begins later on and either people commit and dig in to work on issues or say "Oh I am fine now and get scared and run away".Many people go to their pastor but I feel they are not qualified as a drug abuse specialist or a licensed therapist to help them with situations like that.Don you don't control your son but YOU DO control how you react to what he does and how it impacts your life and family.Maybe you feel guilty for him seeing his mom go through that and enabled him out of guilt to make yourself feel better in the moment.All you can do everyday is work on yourself.If you do that you can have a positive impact on him that can do nothing but help.
