My neighbor keeps lying on me saying I have someone living with me. But I have proof that no one is. My landlord has never asked me if its true or not. The landlord is putting notes on my door saying I will be evicted if anyone is living here with me every week or two. Can the landlord keep harassing me with eviction threats?? Without at least asking me if its true or not
