Post: Sexual Harassment by Landlord

Posted by Lora, lora_y@hotmail.com, on 4/19/04
My landlord is my ex boyfriend. He was mentally abusive to me during the relationship so I ended it. After we broke off I tried to remain on good terms with him. He raised the rent considerably, but I have paid it. He told me he was going to evict me as he had another women he wanted to rent to who was on HUD and he could get even more money. I thought he would give me time to find another place. Yesterday he came over to fix my garbage disposal. He got sexually aggressive with me. I told him to stop and leave which he did. Today I got legally served eviction papers. I live in California. He can evict me without reason. I am a single mother and finding another place will be difficult as rentals are scarce and costly where I live. I need more time to find a place, but I do want to be free from any contact with him. He is wealthy and has a pack of high powered lawyers at his disposal and he and his family own much of the town I live in. My boys are doing well in middle school here and I have lived here my whole life, have a job here and I don't want to move from the area. Do I have any chance at all? Thank you!
