Your own state will have landlord tenant laws.  You can do a yahoo search with your own state and these terms:\nlandlord tenant Ohio\nand that may give you some information that will help you.

First, I would be going to the owner of the company and lodging your complaint, since it is a supervisor that the harrassment charges are being leveled against.  If this does not resolve the situation, then I would talk to an attorney about the matter.

She can't enter without reasonable notice.  Unless your lease has a clause in it requiring that you keep the place clean when she's showing the house there's nothing she can do to require it.  \n\nShe also must give reasonable notice when she goes to show the house, she can't just "show" up.  If she does call the police if she refuses to leave.  Since you are leasing it's "your" house until the lease is ended.  If she's harassing you that needs to be reported to the police, they'll give her a chance to cease the harassment and then if she does anything again they can arrest and charge her.  Any act including demanding you clean a room or be billed (if not allowed in lease) could be considered harassment.\n\nAlso if she trys to say I'm your roommates mother and she's given me permission you can say NO.  Both parties must agree to allow someone on the property or they can't enter.  One person can't "trump" the other's right to not allow someone to enter the property.

Look up the Tenant Association where you live, call them and ask how to file a complaint about him.

If you signed a lease (a written agreement) then for instance your the landlord and someone is renting from you then you have to give them a notice, then if they don't want to leave, then you take the matter to the magistrate, then wait some more (about 30 more days). Roughly, it will take 90 days and then the magistrate will send (more than likely)a Constable to escort the people out (or you if this is the case). The matter will be brought up at the magistrate level carrying a fine and the amount due in rent. If your on probation or something this shouldn't cause an uproar with your P.O. its not like its a new charge and then you would get violated. As far as your credit like I said if your paying on it (making an effort) then you shouldn't worry. But with everything else your credit is effected. I've owed $800 in rent and had someone come and lock me out and then the next day called the housing authority and made arrangements to pay the amount back and nothing came about this since, everythings fine.

what type of harassment is done ? in person ? on the phone ? there is not such order like that in texas. are you asking about a no court ordered no contact order or a restraining order ??? there has to be an assault or or some type of harm done before one is issued. you would have to have a police report made out and get a court ordered one . if the harassment is done by some one living next door to you. you would have to put up no trespassing sings or painted tree w/ purple paint at least 3 foot off the ground and no higher then 5 foot. run barbed wire around there or have a fence up w/ signs posted. then a CTW (criminal trespass warning) can be issued.

One of the elements of common law tenancy is the right to "enjoyment of the premises," which would include having visitors. Your landlord is attempting to interfere with your "quiet enjoyment," and would be liable to you for that, as well as forfeiting some rent for the period he so interfered.\n\nThis assumes, of course, that your visitors behave properly and that you behave properly when you have visitors.

I know your situation too well. This is what you do: First, you findout if the tenants are on section 8, or if the government subsidizes the rent. From what you describe, this is very likely.\n\nThen, you  call the cops each time you notice drug activity, noises, altercations, etc. Get copies of all police reports, and notify your state's agency that covers section 8 assistance. If teh tenants aren't following the state's requirements to live in a subsidized house, they're out, and they may even take the landlord off their list.\n\nGood luck

You might have to evict them.\n\nEviction is a legal process by which a landlord forces a tenant or other occupant to move out of the landlord's property involuntarily and usually permanently. Legal terms for eviction include summary possession and unlawful detainer.\nIn most areas, landlords can evict tenants at the end of a lease term without cause. In other areas, there are just cause eviction controls or "just cause" laws, which require that a landlord give a reason for eviction. The most common reasons such as nonpayment of rent or damaging the property are typically considered cause for eviction.\nThe requirement of notice also varies; in some areas, landlords must post an official eviction notice on the property a certain number of days before the tenant can be forced off the property. In some areas the landlord must get the police to post this notice.\nSome jurisdictions require the landlord to obtain a court order before a tenant can be evicted. This usually involves filing a lawsuit in the local eviction court, which is then heard by a judge, magistrate, or referee. If the landlord is found to have a just cause for eviction, the tenant is given a specified number of days in which to move. If he fails to do so, some jurisdictions allow the landlord to take possession immediately, while others require a peace officer (sheriff, bailiff, police officer) to be present for the set-out.\nEviction law varies widely from state to state, and sometimes county to county or city to city. Any landlord faced with a tenant they must evict, or a tenant faced with a threat of eviction, should seek legal counsel to determine the practice in their community and their respective rights and obligations.

Your downstairs neighbors are carrying out a campaign of harassment against you.\n\nThis is ILLEGAL, and you can get help.\n\nFirst, do the best you can to document everything they do - take pictures of any damage they cause, keep whatever written records you can of any kind of false legal complaint they file against you, tape any threats they make to you verbally or by phone and keep a "harassment diary" - take a notebook and every time they harass you, either you or your boyfriend write down, IN DETAIL every thing they do.\n\nMeanwhile, contact your local police department, ask to speak to a detective, and file a formal complaint. Then go to your county courthouse (with your boyfriend, if possible) and file for an Order of Protection.\n\nOnce this Order of Protection is granted, if your neighbors continue harassing you, you can call the police on them - they will be in contempt of court every time they harass you, and they CAN AND WILL GET LOCKED UP.\n\nSitting in a holding cell has a way of getting people's undivided attention - hopefully, when the cops slap the handcuffs on them, they'll calm the hell down, and stop bothering you and your boyfriend.\n\nGood luck!

If the people that you hate are doing something illegal, yes, you can call the cops. However, if it's nothing illegal and these people just really bother you, then you have either of two options: 1) talk to your roommate and work things out peacefully, and this is preferable, but  if that is not possible, then 2) sign a form that says you plan not to renew your lease, and find a different place to stay. Remember that you will still be obligated to your current lease, so you have to think about whether or not it will be worth the money and hassle it takes to break the lease early, if you want to do that instead.

can you charge them for miss conduct? they promised to do a job they haven't done?\n\nis it the agencies responsibility to clear mess left by a tenant? isn't that why private tenants pay security deposits?\n\nask a solicitor, you will get 30Min's free from some. nothing is worse than a ripped off feeling, i do hope you get sorted soon and maybe you should raise your security deposits to cover any losses in the future. there are some really nasty people out there.

You might do all those things but the other people in the building might not be so clean. Tell your manager in writing  give him a copy and let him know if the problem isnt fixed in a timely manner you will put your rent in an escro account with the local courts.

I presume this is your property and you have hired the property manager to manage it for you.  You should look at the management agreement.  Most have an arbitration clause to prevent expensive lawsuits.  They probably also have a clause that exempts them except for gross negligence on their part.  (Which this might be.)  I suspect you have much stronger rights if you are a tenant of the building than an owner.

A case for harassment will be thrown out of court if it is based on your eviction of the tenant for nonpayment of rent. The operative word is "res judicata": she could have brought the matter up in the earlier case.\n\nAnyway, claiming and enforcing a legal right through normal channels cannot be harassment. I am assuming this is not a "statutory tenant" under a local rent control scheme. And that you did follow legal procedures.\n\nWith difficult tenants it is always best to keep a diary, listing contacts and what was said. If you have the means (perhaps by way of telephone bills) to reconstitute such a list, it will be helpful in court if the case is not dismissed on motion (you should tell the judge at the start that you want summary dismissal as the complaint states no cause of action; if the judge agrees then the case is over before it begins). Or you could counterclaim for the stolen (or "converted") property. You probably need to serve the documents for that now. You should be able to get a blank form (or a model as used in other cases) for that from the clerk of the court.

If they aren't violating any laws but are still harassing you, file a restraining order against harassment on them. If the judge finds in your favor, they can be arrested for violating his orders. Judges might not care so much about you getting harassed but they *hate* it when people violate their orders..
