Was given a 'reason to kick out' order based on 'trash' around apartment...

As far as small claims - it's free to talk to the court. The rules usually are no lawyers, low cost (under $50) that you get back if you win, they might let you send a written claim.

...or just throwing it [the couch] in the dumpster (it's too big, seems like an asshole move to me, don't wanna do it)...

n/m. I see you've taken care of this part of your problem. :thumbsup:

 

[Perknose]

knock on neighbors doors... see if anyone else has. black mold problem!

if there are a bunch, you then have a story for the local news 😀

Also this! :thumbsup:

Is there a local disabilities charity/non-profit organisation nearby that might be able to give advice or help you out directly with the immediate problem (or stuff being outside the apartment)?

 

[jaqie]

I tried and none of the people in this 4 apartment building say they have trouble with black mold. Ah well, it was a good idea, thanks!

Whoa. Small World.

I have family in Alvadore. We used to go to Abby's Pizza in Junction City quite often, and joke about how they tore the Junction House down but left that damn sign up for *years*...

Sure. As soon as you pay for the move. Send me $2000 and Ill move out as soon as I get the money.

There are websites that will let you setup a "fund" where people can donate. If you get one setup, I will gladly donate some money to help you move out of that place. I bet a lot of us would. We might not be able to get it up to $2000, but you never know...

Unlike most people, I am not a mooch nor am I a beggar.

It doesn't make you a "mooch" or a "beggar" to allow people to help you.

Perhaps you were being facetious in the previous post asking if someone had $2000, but while I do not have that much money to help, I have some.

I have had down times in my life at times where I needed assistance. That does not make me a mooch, or a beggar. If you feel a "burden" of having been helped, pay it forward to someone else when THEY are in a tough spot.

And I believe as we all know: pride comes at no cost.

Try as I might, I can't figure out what you mean... 😕

He should reach out to a local church. Email the pastor explaining the situation.

 

[jaqie]

she.

 

[JEDIYoda]

he/she....whatever...............

And how do I pay the fees for the court suit? How about the lawyer fees? How about the expenses of going down there and how am I to get down there and back? What about being too sick to go?

This is far beyond my capabilities for many reasons. I am just too disabled to fight back and they know it, same thing with the disability doctors.

Not everyone has so much disposable income and energy to do everything they want.

Usually, lawyers take cases on contingency basis so there is no cost to you up front. I know plenty of lawyers who would take much crappier cases than this one. The filing fees are also waived for low income/disability/etc. Most cases settle without the actual parties stepping foot in a courtroom. I don't imagine that this will be any different if the lawyer has an ounce of common sense. Some pics + ER report + prospect of bad press = motivation for quick settlement me thinks.

The reason why they are takin advantage of you is because they know they can. I think fighting back will let them know otherwise.

 

[Craig234]

Small Claims courts generally or entirely don't allow layers. Costs are minimal.

I commend you on your pride - we could use more of that in this world - and hope you have the situation to your satisfaction. If not, remember that charity is a duty which is not possible without those in need. If you honestly have need, there is no moral harm in receiving charity.

 

[jaqie]

It's really hard to explain, but it's not really about pride for me.

I left my pride long, far ago.

It's about integrity of character, it's about and for me, things I would never and will never do, like harming someone on purpose or stealing in any situation other than starving desperation. If I did things like that I would be dead inside, and I can't let that happen.
