Help! I need advice before I go off completely!!! Tenant/Lawyer Advice, if you have it to share.

Does sharing MY private financial situation from a landlord TO A maintenence worker breech a lease?

Privacy rules? Huh? Anything? I'm soooo pissed OFF!!!!!!

Edit:

:nuke:

:grr:

:banghead:

it would be a breech of privacy. If you have a free legal service in your county, you might call and ask them. I am sorry this has happened to you :hug: take deep breaths, don't get mad, get even.
Good luck.

edited to add I am no lawyer.

4. I'm not a lawyer, but I think it depends upon your lease.
It might be grounds for Constructive Eviction, though. Hope an actual attorney in the know checks in to help out.

7. Constructive Eviction? He's selling the place and I have a lease!
Edited on Thu Sep-06-07 10:09 AM by Breeze54
He's been a rude MF since right after I signed the lease AGAIN and not just to me
but to everyone else living here! He's well known, from what I hear, for being a
total asshole abuser to his tenants. I've tried to ignore him for the last seven
years but this was the last straw! He told his workers about MY finances and OUR
agreement! How dare he and how dare that old fart tell me all about ME!!?!

:grr:

9. Not sure why that would even be brought up...
between an landlord and maintenance worker?

When you're ready to vent, you know where to come! :grouphug:

10. Exactly!! WTF is the maintenance worker doing
giving ME shit about my agreement & lease with the landlord???

My rent is paid!! I've been here for seven years!!!! :grr:

The rent is paid and that MF had the nerve to mention HIS taxes!!

Like I don't pay any?? And then he said that I was on Welfare!!

Who the fuck is this guy?? I feel very threatened....

WTF is this all about and why is HE in my business?? :grr:

I don't know if I should make a big stink and call the cops or ignore them!?

11. No reputable lawyer will advise you over the internet.
First, we do not work for free. It took a lot of trouble and expense to become lawyers in the first place.

Second, before agreeing to advise or represent you, a lawyer has to be sure that it would be free from conflicts of interest. That means knowing your real name and other personal information.

15. In for a penny, in for a pound.
Even giving a little advice makes a lawyer liable for the results of that advice. That is why when I was in private practice I made sure to document the facts of every case as described by the client and to document the advice I gave, usually in a letter tothe client. A little friendly advice can get a lawyer sued or even disbarred.
