Landlord Rule Enforcement Concerns

Summary

If your landlord enforces rules selectively, it could be discrimination if based on race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status. Favoritism isnt illegal unless it involves these protected classes. Document incidents and gather evidence to support your case. Contact a local attorney or the Ohio Civil Rights Commission for further guidance.

So my yard is a mess but its had significant progression in cleaning, so he says he will evict me for that, when other yards look way worse than mine, then today i tried to have a camper delivered to my house but was told if they leave it he will tow it, even though there are people with campers all over this mobile home park
If you feel you're being unfairly targeted, you might have a case. However, I need to know your location to provide accurate information. Laws vary greatly depending on the state or country.
Im in mason ohio
In Ohio:
- If the landlord's actions are based on your race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status, that could be discrimination.
- Ohio law requires landlords to maintain safe and healthy premises.
- If rules aren't enforced uniformly, it could be seen as favoritism.
Consider contacting a local attorney or the Ohio Civil Rights Commission for more guidance.
Is favoritism a law or just frowned on, i can say he is targeting us for one reason or another because they haven't made those kind of comments to me
Favoritism isn't illegal unless it's based on protected classes like race, religion, sex, etc. It becomes discrimination then. If it's arbitrary, it's generally not illegal but may be addressed in a lease agreement. If you believe it's discriminatory, consider legal advice or contact Ohio Civil Rights Commission.
I see
It seems like you're having a tough time. It's key to gather evidence of any disparate treatment. Document the incidents, take photos of other yards, keep written communication. This could be crucial if you decide to take legal action or need to defend yourself in an eviction case.

That's a good step. Remember to date the photos and note what they depict. This could be helpful evidence in your case. Do you have any other legal questions I can help with?
