So I applied in May for Sarasota County ERA and it took almost 5 months to get it resolved. About 1 month ago the owners of the property moved in the main residence temporarily to renovate. They had lived in N. Carolina previous 5 years and had employed their Sister here to manage and rent the property. (more…)

I have 3 kids and the neighbors keep calling the cops about how loud the house is and there is a neighbor instigating fights with me on purpose. Of course, I ignore it but they keep calling the police and that is a violation of the lease. I unfortunately lost my job and cannot afford to get into a new place. (more…)

Where do I begin..last Monday the Justice Court ruled in favor of my landlord. He wants to sell the RV I’ve been renting. So I don’t qualify for alot of the help offered right now. Come this Monday 8-9-2021 I’ll be homeless. And to make matters even worse; landlord is now sueing me for $20,000 for what he says are damages and unpaid electric bills..this is all untrue, and a very long and complicated story. (more…)

For almost 11 years I paid my rent on time. I finally had found a job 3 years ago that I thought would pay enough for me to finally save up and buy a home. All it took was a series of setbacks to push me to where I am at now. Last summer during the worse of the pandemic, I got a serious illness that cost me mobility in one of my arms. Because it flares up so often, and interferes with my daily life, I was eventually forced out of that job.
