I feel as if my landlord is harassing me.
In Oct 2010, she informed me that a city inspector would be coming by
to inspect my complex. After the inspection occurred, I heard nothing
further until a letter appeared the week of Thanksgiving 2010
informing me that I had a week (over the Thanksgiving holidays,
thankfully i had no travel plans) to clear a 36 inch path to and from
all windows and doorways; yes, I had clutter, stacks of books papers
and magazines, etc. So I cleared them. The inspector came again and i
heard nothing further, and I had phoned the inspector to confirm that
I had satisfied him, and also to inform him that I suspected she had
sat on the letter and purposefully given it to me Thanksgiving week.
That was that, until Friday June 29 she left another letter that due
to ongoing violations another inspection would be done July 5th, again
over another holiday period. I had let some clutter amass (not that
she would know unless she entered my apartment without my permission),
but I cleaned it up. She calls me on Friday July 6 to ask if I'm ready
for inspection, which surprised me since I had thought she had done it
July 5th. I agree, I'll be at work anyways, and ask if the city
inspector is also coming. She says no, they are going to rely on her
report. That bothers me, as I don't trust her. She comes by Sat July
7th and tells me she wants 50% of my stuff cleared out, as she claims
it is a fire hazard, although it is in neat stacks. She wants stuff
moved so that firemen can climb in through the windows if need be.
This bothers me as the city inspector did not say anything back in Nov
2010. I even asked her why nothing was said to me between then, Nov
2010, and now, and she just kept going on about how she wants stuff
cleared. I said something about getting it in writing from the city
inspector, and she said she can do what she wants because it's her
building.
