To whom it may concern,
After serving 6 years as a combat medic in the U.S. Army, including two combat tours in Iraq, my service-connected back injury was aggravated on the job recently and required surgery this August. Ā
We received notice last week from our landlord that our residence in Weslaco, TX, will be sold in January and we are bring him to court.Ā We have until the end of the month to move out our family of six, including our 12-year-old boy, Jove, and our and three daughters, Olivia, Alexandria, and Mariana, ages 5, 4, and 2, respectively. Ā We are bring the landlord to small claims court too.
The timing of this challenge is especially hard now because I have gone into debt while unable to perform the duties of my job at the McAllen, TX post office while recovering from back surgery.
These setbacks mean that our Christmas is going to be difficult this year so I am looking around for information and organizations that may help a veteran and his family-in-need during the holidays. Ā
I am hoping to provide gifts for our four children between 2 and 12-years-old, but please share any veteran assistance information you may have.
Small claims court with landlord
Small claims court with landlord
Hey there, my names Tristen, I hate asking for help and acting like everything is okay, but Iāve called literally everyone and no one seems to care about my landlord and their illegal actions. My momās on meth and even my grandma is yelling at me telling me. Itāll be fine, but I donāt think she really understands...so where do I start.
My baby...sheās 2 weeks now. Okay and I got approved for a new apartment Iām supposed to move in tomorrow but i have small claims court. So first my landlords are trash and didnāt want to renew my lease not even a month after I have my baby. And I didnāt even find that out until a month before having to move out so that left me no time to find one, so I found one eventually but the lady that helped me out was new and didnāt know what she was talking about.
She told me āsince move in date is the13th you only have to pay half the rent(455) and then the deposit 30 days after you move inā well thatās not the case. I have to pay half the rent and half the deposit and then I donāt have to pay the other half until move in date. Iāve already moved in and got August rent paid for(by pulling myself into further debt). My lease on my old apartment doesnāt end until the 31st, which is GREAT except I am currently fighting to take my landlords for TWO different cases already as it is.
One of them because thereās MICE EVERYWHERE I have pictures and everything itās so bad. It is under my babyās crib they crawl around and touch my babyās things pee and poop everywhere, and I am a clean person. Iāve had to tell them for three consecutive months now that this needs to be fixed. The other reason for small claims court with the landlord because earlier in the lease the landlord texted me saying āhey if you ever need to use your deposit for Augustās rent you sure can we understand. Well when this monthās rent was due I was still waiting on my money that was in the mail (it was a grant for me being on maternity leave that I signed up for)and so I sent her the verification letter stating itās on its way.
Well it was staking too long and I told her just to take it out of the deposit and so now she refuses to do so and the late fee is 50 a day so Iām in the middle of filing small claims for that. Not only that but my babyās father doesnāt have a job and hasnāt had one since weāve been together. My cars in terrible shape itās about to break down.
Iām -500 in my bank account because my bills just keep taking it out I donāt know WHY IVE GONE INTO MY BANK SEVERAL TIMES asking to take the overdraft off and now that itās in the negative I canāt shut it down.
I donāt have September rent, same goes for my phone and car bill in that month.
I donāt even care about those just rent till I can figure it out. I donāt have money for my car bill or my phone bill so itās about to get towed and I was just REALLY wondering if you could help me out with maybe like 100-200 dollars to get closer to paying rent because Iāll really have nowhere to stay?????
Iāll pay you back as soon as I go back to work which is September 6th and if you canāt thatās fine but I really have called everyone and done everything this last month and Iām so tired of everyone telling me oh Iām sorry. Uh well I know that if you call this place they can help you and then I call them and nothing works because I have a CAR in my name that makes me ineligibleĀ or like a PHONE or Iām not homeless. RIGHT THIS SECOND or because the babyās father IS LIVING WITH ME. And so, Iām practically a single mom doing this by myself. All my family is in Montana, and Iām about to lose it I canāt do this by myself and thatās how desperate I am is Iām literally searching help with rent on Facebook.
