“Retaliatory eviction” You won’t believe this, but you've got to hear this

Ok! Now we’ve lived at the same address for 8 years, never once have we been late with rent nor have we made any trouble. It all started when I got a call from my mom saying that someone had been in her apartment while she was at work. She had found cigarette butts in the ashtrays (she doesn’t smoke) and a lot of her clothes were gone. So of course I caught all four winds heading to moms house. When I got there I told her to call the landlord because whoever got in had a key. We called the landlord and asked had she changed the locks prior to mom moving in and she said “yes and I have the only spare key”, so we told her what happened and she said she’d be here shortly with a locksmith. (OK y’all here comes the kicker, you’re going to love this!)

When the landlord and locksmith arrived we noticed there was a third person with them “the landlords daughter” who was carrying “Two” large Aldi’s shopping bag which at the time didn’t seem important (I just figured she’d been shopping) so while the locksmith changed the locks the rest of us inspected the apartment while mom explained what she’d found and what was missing. (Ok I’ll try to make a long story short)

Anyway the locksmith finished, a few more words were exchanged and they all left. (We didn’t notice that the daughter left with only ONE bag when she came in with TWO). I told mom I thought she should call the police but she said since the locks & doors weren’t broken it would be hard to prove so she never called. Now two days later I was moving things around and when I moved the sofa, there’s a shopping bag behind it with all my moms missing clothes, I called my mom into the room and said “you’re not going to believe this $hit”. Mom was furious and said “don’t touch anything” then called the landlord to come up to see it. We told her that we knew that her daughter had to be the culprit (but I think she had to already know this). Needless to say “The $hit hit the fan” and my mom ain’t no joke when it comes to her belongings and I did everything I could to keep her from going downstairs and kicking every A$$ that got that got between her and the landlords daughter…(and please believe, there was a time when my mom would have done just that)…Now after all this the landlord sends my mom an eviction notice saying that when her lease expires she wants her out, which is no “Biggie” because as you all know I was buying my mom a house but it’s just the principle of the thing. “OH YEAH!” and check this out… After noticing that our electric bill was exceptionally high we had the company come out to check it and they found that the basement utility room’s power is connected to our apartment which means mom has been paying that too…”FOR 8 YEARS”. Don’t you know that when she goes to court my mom is going to sue them for everything but they’re underwear. Wow can you believe this?

So myloters has anyone out there had their tenants rights violated?
