Last year my roomate and i were evicted from our apartment after a few months of living there. Our neighboring tenants were reporting bogus noise complaints against us. The noise complaints started when the people above us were stomping and screaming so we banged on the ceiling to get them to quite down, we worked midnights and were trying to sleep. After that we started getting harassed by those above us and their friend beside us. Such thing as gum on our door handle, our name being ripped off our mailbox, yelling obscene names at my roomate and what seemed to be purposeful stomping above us. They would send in noise complaints for times when we were at work or sleeping. We called the police and made a report against them. After so many noise complaints from them and us we were issued an eviction notice that stated if we left within 3 days, no legal action would be taken. We called their coporate office and explained the harassment and asked to be moved to another building, they were anwilling to help. We left within the time given, and now are being taken to court for money owed for the rest of the lease and some small damages. Also we learned from a manager of the complex that the man above us shouldn't be living there because he wasn't on the lease, he is the one who started this. We never wanted to report him because we wanted to mind our own business. We never received a copy of the lease agreement. Not even a month after we moved out, new tenants had moved in. We were told this is 'double collecting' if they are collecting rent from the new tenants and try to collect for us as well. We cannot afford a laywer, and we need advice for when we are in court.
Thank you
