    I have Cerebral Palsy and I'm going through a situation where I could use some guidance and someone to talk to. I filed a HUD complaint against my apartments and won. Now, I'm facing homelessness out of retaliation. I'm NOT behind on my rent or a messy tenant. No history of unnecessary issues or anything crime related. I fought for my rights to be treated just and fair. Now, I'm being asked to leave. I've been just about everywhere trying everything to get the help I need in time. I need to be out by 10/7/24 I'm not asking for money. Maybe just some direction where to go for legal help. There's a lot more... A LOT more to my situation and I'm trying to avoid being homeless. Especially when I know I've been targeted and bullied. I have SOOOO much evidence. I need my story heard. Im in Harrisburg Pennsylvania Thanks!

    Understanding your rights as a tenant is important for several reasons. Above all, it gives you the ability to stand up for yourself and ensures that your landlord or property management business treats you fairly and legally.

    October 19, 2023 Irene Imanil here to inquire if some employees are involved in the sell of US Passport to steal identity? Why the Filipina employee couldn't release my US Passport to me over 6 months ago after I applied. She requires biotmetrics, yet that isn't necessary for the renewal of my US Passport. So today this Filipina heard from me in tagalog. She's a paralegal involved in identity theft? Many Russian immigrants want to name change to my name or add my name to their names for bank funding?

    I think that suspension and expulsion should be banned because it does more harm than good especially when it comes to prejudice and discrimination against different minority groups African Americans, Hispanics and Latinos, Asian Americans, muslims and other religious groups, native Americans and people with disabilities including autism. Could put them in serious danger and might give them a bad reputation for being extremely dangerous which isn't true.

    I've been served eviction papers I have a case management hearing next week. I can't afford a lawyer and do not qualify for legal aide. I'm trying to get some help with representationin petrified of what will happen next week. I'm a single mom to a special Needs child who is non verbal. I do everything alone. I have no support system and have only received 3 months of child support in 2 yrs. I fell behind months ago when I lost my only child care that I didn't pay for and was approved for assistance through the covid funding but by the time I got approved they ran out of money. I applied to another program but they state there are 200 applications before mine to review. I work full time I can barely afford groceries no less rent and bills. I did qualify for pro bono bankruptcy lawyer who is helping me do that now but he states unless I can get help with this rent I will be evicted. I did submit a letter of incomefrom the state from that covid program to help prevent eviction but I won't know what that will do until I go to court.

      Hello, is it fair when a young kid who gets a government grant to buy a house that tenants have been living in for 12.5 years, turns around and tells them the day that the house sale closes that they have 30 days to move out? And, he still wants the rent for the next month? Yet, while they were waiting for the loan approval, he and the seller's broker told these tenants that they were going to be able to stay; that they wanted to keep the tenants and make money . And the broker even told them that they didn't need to look elsewhere, but they did anyway, for months, and could not find anything. How about the 12+ year tenants who pay their rent on time every single month? How about their shelter and safety? They cannot get an apartment because all of the rents are literally a thousand dollars (and higher) more than they're paying now. Do they have rights? They've never ruined the property, they've paid their rent every month, they work 12-14 hours a day and have had the same job for 25 years. Is it okay for a coward like this to do such things and leave honest, hard working, 12.5 year tenants essentially on the street because he has delusions of being some high rolling house flipper? Nah, I think not.

Is a fair the owners has to sell and can't because somebody don't want to move. What if the owner has a family emergency and need to sell the house.?. What if the tenants been rude and cold and don't want to move out and when told are even more unrespectful. Is that ok?. The tenans.never have family or friends who can help them or go to but before they have many friends . Weird. .
