Hello Shonda, nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My landlord is having me evicted and siad i was served papers for court but i was never served nor did i ever get papers so i missed court last week. Now i have like 10 days to get out. My land lord came to my trailer three daya ago ans jist walked in my trailer without even knocking and said hes turning off my water. Also he keeps crawling in my windows or taking the handle loff the door so he can get in if he wants. My heat ans air conditioning has been broke for over a year now ans he refuses to fix it and i have two kids at home. He wrote me three evictions last mo th in his pwn hand writting and put these notes in my vehicle . He yelled at my kids yesterday when i wasnt home. He yelled at them saying u know u guys have to get out now and the kids said i wasnt home he couldnt come in and he said its my trailer ill come in it when eber the fuck i want to. Then he called and told me if he wants to he can also cut my wifi line to the trailer if he doesnt want it there.
