I can't believe I have to ask advice on such ridiculousness. A new landlord who has taken over my building, and who is trying to evict me, because he wants A LOT more money for my apartment has hatched a new scheme to get me out.
He has told me in the past that he wants into my apartment and will use these means to evict me by finding any issue he can. Naturally, I have denied him entry after the altercation that led to his angry slip of the tongue.
He has now resorted to using an empty apartment upstairs (from other tenants he has recently evicted) to FLOOD my apartment. Now, he won't stop calling my cell phone, saying he needs to gain entry immediately, because the water coming from in between my walls is damaging the ceiling downstairs.
I know he means to sabotage me and act as if any damage that occurs is somehow my fault, by now using me refusing to allow him into my home to " make repairs" as grounds to evict me! The worst part is, I HEARD him tampering with the pipes and I know that, although he is routing the water through my apartment, the problem can only be fixed by him stopping what he is doing upstairs.
I can't believe this person is ruining his own property to get me out! Is he INSANE??
Is there any hope, or can he force his way into my home by way of water, ruining the apartment beneath me and my own apartment and trying to make me liable? He says if he comes in, it will be with a camera and with whomever he wants to bring in with him and I have no say in the matter unless I am physically stronger than him.
The police have said this is out of their jurisdiction and hpd only logs complaints. Do I have to let him in?
