I moved into a room 3 months back which was recommended by someone i knew as i had just come out a bad situation and on benefit. It was a difficult process as The landlord was very rude and lack constant communication throughout , but in the end i was able ro secure the room. Prior to that i had a home for over 11 years but was forced to leave because i was racially harassed and targetted.
Anyways since living in this one room, the landlord has tried to find ways to get extra money from me. He increased my rent on 4 occasions within a period of 2 monfhs stating his original prices was a typo The room came with old half warn funiture. The wardrobe door partially handling off, which i immediately reported ro him and also the dressing had chips marks , which again i reported. He claimed the furnitures was not old and tried to blame it on me in attempts to extort money from me.
He has also been letting people in my room withiut prior notification. Someone had told me that a man who lives close by had been going into my room on a few occasions( which i sensed was the caes). Within a month of my arrival, 3 police showed up and spoke tp a flat mate claiming they where looking for a previous tenant who lived in my room ( which clearly they should know of their wearabouts as they know everything right?)anyways the housemate told them th had left , but the police was insistance to want to come into my room, until the housemate told them that a lady now lives there . They had keys( i heardvthem jiggling as he tried to entet) and askee the name of the room i waa staying ( all the rooms are named). my housemate stopped them and a lady lives there now ans was in . The housemate later told me said he did not think the police where looking for the previous tenant.
Now let me say this before any assumptions are made. I am not on the run or anything dodhy like that . I terminated my tenancy with the housing i lived in for 11 years snd they did all ways to try to prevent me from securing a home and the police was instrumental in the racial hatred that i faced at the time and supported the housing , so it pretty coinscidental they would shpw up within a month of me moving in claiming to lool for someone whom they will hsve knownno longer lives there. I was homeless aftet leaving the house snd tried to get my life back on track.
Suffice to say. I find that the landlords emails have recently to been sharp and somewhat rude when i accidently lockrd myself out of the room , he did not want me to know they hwve a spare key snd was running down a list of costs, until a housemate found a spare. HE was nor happy that he did snd the next email followed was extremely rude.
Some please advise. I sense whatthis is looking like to me, i would just like yall opinion?
