Devastated-unsure what to do

[TheAussieJedi]

:nope::sad_yes:We have been renting for a while now and we always pay our rent. Sometimes we are about 8 days overdue but always tell them and they never swaid it was a problem. Where we are, you are allowed to pay within 7 days over anyway. We are all very ill and have little money. We have never skipped out on rent or anything like that and have always paid bills off.
We had been advised by our Tenants’ Lawyer office that we should negotiate water bill payment with our lessor because of a major pool leak that occured at the property.The lessor has not paid any of the water bill.We have paid some though.
We then received a Notice to Leave. This meant that even though we are not well we had to find a place and we now have only two weeks left to find a place.

Imagine my horror when today I receive an email from the new property manager saying that the reason they want us out is because of rental arrears. We have never ever been even two weeks late in paying rent during the entire tenancy and were told that the reason they wanted us out was because they just wanted to move back in.

What is worse is that this new Property Manager delighted in telling me today that she has told the places we have applied for to live that we are in bill arrears and rental arrears. This is not true. We are so ill and tired and we now have to try and figure out what to do.

Even if we can go to our Tenants Union for help and go to court to get this reversed, it will be too late and we will not get a place in time. We will be out on the street and all those real estate agents they have spoken to will think we are bad people. :sad_yes:

On our letter to say they wanted us out they didn;t say it was because we had done anything wrong. Now my poor Mother who is sick and my poor Father who isn’t well abnd has to work I will have to somehow tell them what has happened. It is making me sick to think about it. They keep talking about this one place we applied for and how we are so sure we will get it when the whole time the real estate has talked trash about us.

I am so angry. And sad. There is no way out of this other than a long, hard fight it seems and I am the one who will have to do the court stuff as no-one else in the family can.
There are a few of us. We are all adults and siblings and live with Mother and Father because of illness and financial issues. It’s so hard.

I just don’t know what to do. I am so tired. I don’t feel like fighting with people. Renting is so hard on you it is emotionally draining. You give all your money away and at the end they almost always try an take more from you dishonestly and to get your Bond back you have to fight hard but I am so tired and the courts don’t care. They don’t care if you are in agonising pain and tired. They just don’t care.

I am so scared now. We need to defend ourselves but it’s going to be hard. We were so looking forward to a good reference from this real estate we did everything right and this has still happened. I can’t stop crying. I want to trust God but I know how early I have to get up and all the forms I need to fill out and I don’t even know what to saty to these other real estate agents. Will they even believe me? I am so scared…

I’m having trouble understanding your story. You say you are being evicted for unpaid rent. But you say you have always paid, but have often paid late. Your landlord has told your prospective new landlords that you are being evicted for nonpayment.

If your landlords are in fact lying, then that is illegal and you can take legal action against them. The part I don’t get is that if you have always paid, then you will have proof in the form of canceled checks. But you haven’t said a word about that Is there something you’re not telling us?

Hail Mary…

Amen.

Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.

Praying for you.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
