I'm being evicted I was supposed to be out by December 31st but this eviction is being done out of retaliation for me calling the building inspector because the landlord didn't seem like he wanted to clean the mold up. He still hasn't addressed the mold and hasn't filed in court. This is an unwarranted eviction he put no fault on the paper he wrote out with no explanation. I live in California. He hasn't asked for rent I sent a cease and desist letter and sent a letter stating we could go to arbitration or mediation. No I believe he is shooting pellets at my dog since he lives behind us. I'm afraid to leave my home or go in my back yard. What do I do?

I actually have another question that doesn't have anything to do with this question
Sure, ****! What's your other question?
I got into an altercation yrs back with my boyfriend he tried to hurt me. We both went to the ER and he was arrested on assault * I was placed on a peace officer hold but the hospital said I was good mental state was fine and they were releasing me. This was in Oregon. Just recently I got the report from another state agency I have never went over it until now. In the report he stated while they were doing their own investigation that he put the assault * charge on me just to hold me over night. He knew he was going to have the charges dropped he had done this to give the state agency child welfare time to interview my kids privately is why he did that and he never had any intentions of having me charged but wanted to help this agency out. Isn't this against the law. What do I do should I get an attorney. My name was published in the paper I was the victim but no one ever got to read the charges were dropped they just all thought I was the bad guy. My name got drug through the mud in the small town of Roseburg Oregon. Can he get in trouble. If I was released from the hospital and my mental state was fine wasn't this arrest against my civil rights?
Hi ****, this situation sounds serious. Here are some points to consider:
- False Arrest and Malicious Prosecution: Arresting you without valid reasons could be a violation of your civil rights.
- Defamation: If your reputation was harmed due to false charges, you may have a claim.
- Consult an Attorney: Given the complexity, consulting a civil rights attorney is advisable.

Another question in California if child welfare was given a report about a sexual crime against a child and their sibling but they never came to check the child after the police report was made because they had the other child who had lied about the mom saying she had beat him but really he said that trying to run from the evidence of him touching his sibling because child welfare never sent anyone and didn't take this seriously can they get in trouble. The police report was made and prof was shown. A letter to the CPS manager of the branch also was used against the mother in court they never took the assault seriously. Who would I contact about this in their agency? There manager thought I was a joke and treated it just that way. The child isn't a joke they didn't take the report seriously. That's not ok and goes against mandatory reporting I would think.
