Tenant Rights And Violations

Rae

7 months ago I moved into the split level home as a renter. I have my own living quarters with bathroom. Kitchen. Living space and entrances. I had spoken to my landlord prior to moving in and we had agreed to a set amount. She also had shown me a rough draft of the lease I was to sign. She supplied the lease and as i saw it, she had changed the rent total to anln unattainable amount also she has known that it would be minimal if 6month I would need. She rushed me to sign it. Afterwards she informed me that in the agreement I had signed that I wouldn't have any guests overnight ever and that I could only have 2ppl visit at a time. I set with that since I had already signed it. She was caught many times in the 6months going into my space. Each time she would be caught she would give me some supposed reason. Each time I would let her know that it was not any reason to enter my home. She used 'i thought you may have fell' ' I smelled smoke'(smoke detector was not ringing anf i had previously not answered bc I was a sleep) ' I thought maybe the dogs needed to go outside' 'i heard something's etc. after about * of these that I caught her doing and several I hadn't, the 6months was over. We had a meeting and we both set on continuing the rental but with a new lease. She then supplies the new lease but again doubling the agreed upon new rent cost. She also had added some other things that permitted her to enter my space "with or without a real or perceived emergency" and she also added some vizare changes that were not in the lease prior but that said things that made it a shared dwelling style. But we are completely autonomous in this situation. That was not set for a return of signed lease. But I needed a lawyer to discover how to proceed. Afterwards was Christmas. On dec 21st I left for my friends outing we had planned for the holiday. On Dec 24th at 7pm I received a text (1st time too) that said she had changed my locks and that I was to return home immediately. Not only could I not but I wasn't going to in Christmas eve at that hour plan some sort of 12hr trek thru the mountains. On the 27th I returned to poulsboWashington at home. I called the police to have the unlawful act of changing the locks to be fixed. She did and I returned home . She then proceeded to bang very very loudly several times a day. And she also would scream outside of my door some sort of threats that I couldn't understand nor did I feel safe answering the door. She also came into my home several times after that and I even called the police to get her to stop. She did only for that moment. Bc she did it several ti es more in the following weeks. She never gave me a key to the new lock. She has convinced the police that we both live in this space. Which we do not. She also has told them that she has gone thru the courts and attained a 20day eviction. Which she has not and in her paperwork that she left it doesn't give a reason for the eviction and it doesn't have any letterhead like a court or lawyer and the declaration of it being a shared dwelling. And it's not at all . She also had cut off the locks that I had to place on my back door to stop her from entering. And when she did u also called the police where they told me it was a civil manner and I asked if she enters my home then how is that not breaking and entering when she literally did that set of actions and they said they would to arrest her bc they didn't know what was in The lease I told them I would show them the lease and the agreed upon stipulation that were made and they refused to look at them saying again it's a civil matter. But I wanted her to be arrested for the criminal acts of continually entering my home without permission, removing my locks that ensured my safety, and the blatant harassment that she was inflicting in me. She knows I have PTSD and other mental issues of fear based situations triggering me also. She has kept my mail and is also guilty of standing outside of my home and listening to my visitors and I whenever I do have a visit.
