Single mom evicted with 10 days to leave for no reason

[delgratta]

I live in Wynne AR i STARTED RECIEVING HUD AFTER MY HUSBAND WAS SENT TO PRISON FOR BRUTALLY BEATING ME. wE HAD BEEN MARRIED SIX YEARS AND HE WAS MY FULL MEANS OF SUPPORT. I RECENTLY MOVED IN A MOBILE HOME IN WYNNE ARKANSAS. i HAVE BEEN HERE ALMOST 2 MONTHS. eVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL ONE DAY SHE WAS SPEAKING HARSHLY ABOUT ONE OF HER OTHER TENANTS AND WHEN SHE ASK MY OPINION i TOLD HER IT WAS NONE OF MY BUSINESS AND I LIKED EVERYONE I MET HERE SO FAR. LATER IN THE CONVERSATION I TOLD HER MY BACK DOOR WOULD NOT STAY SHUT AND SHE SAID SHE WAS GLAD THAT HUD DIDN'T NOTICE IT AND I SAID WELL I'M NOT SURE IF I'M TO TELL YOU OR THEM AND SHE SAID NEVER CALL HUD BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO MAKE PEOPLE MOVE THAT COMPLAIN ALOT. SHE SAID SHE WOULD COME BY AND LOOK AT IT WHEN SHE GOT A CHANCE BUT SHE NEVER SHOWED. ONE WEEK LATER I CONTACTED HER AGAIN AND SHE SAID THAT I COULD NOT PUT TRASH BAGS IN MY PORCH AND THAT MY UNDERPINNING WAS BENDING LIKE KIDS HAD BEEN CRAWLING UNDER IT. I THEN EXPLINED TO HER THAT HER DOG CRAWLS UNDER MY PLACE AND ANOTHER TENENTS PLACE. I ASSURED HER THAT MY CHILD WOULD NOT MESS UP THE UNDERPINNING OR EVER CRAWL UDER THE HOME. SHE SAID SHE NEED TO DO A WALK THROUGH OF MY HOUSE. I SAID OK THEN SHE PERCEDDED TO WALK THROUGH EVERY INCH INSPECTING EVERY DETAIL BUT NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG ON MY BEHALF. SHE SAID SHE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO MESS WITH THE BACK DOOR TODAY. THE NEXT ENCOUNTER WITH HER WAS THE DAY MY NEIGHBORS PUT UP A KIDDIE POOL. THEY HAVE A GIRL THE SAME AGE AS MY SON. SHE CAME OVER AND THEN WE ALL WALKED BACK TO HER HOUSE AND SIT IN THE KIDDIE POOL.. SHE TOLD MY NEIGHBOR THE POOL HAD TO GO NOW. AT FIRST SHE SAID IT WAS A LIABILITY BUT IN HER FRONT YARD WHICH THE 7 MOBILE HOMES SURROUNDS IS A POND. AFTER THAT SHE SAID AND i DON'T WANT ANYONE WASHING CARS EITHER BECAUSE EVERYONE HERE IS ON THE SAME WELL AND NO ONE WILL LIKE GOING WITHOUT WATER. A FEW DAYS LATER THE WELL PUMP WENT OUT AND ALL DAY THERE WAS NO WATER. I WAS TOO AFRAID TO CALL AND TELL HER BECAUSE IF SHE ALREADY KNEW SHE WOULD SNAP AT ME. i DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THE WELL UNTIL LATER. A FEW DAYS LATER SHE WAS WORKING ON A MOBILE HOME NEXT DOOR AND AS SHE WAS LEAVING I ASK HER IF SHE KNEW WHEN THE MAN THAT FIXES THINGS AT TIMES WOULD BE THERE ABOUT THE DOOR AND i TOLD HER THE BREAKER BOX WAS EXTREMLY HOT AND IT SCARED ME. sHE SAID IT WAS OK. THE NEXT DAY MY NEIGHBOR AND HER DAUGHTER WAS LEAVING FROM PLAYING WITH MY SON AND THE LANDLORD ASK HER IF I WAS STRAIGHT AND MY NEIGHBOR SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THE LANDLORD SAYS IS SHE ON DRUGS OR ALCOHOL RIGHT NOW. MY NEIGHBOR SAID SHE HAD NEVER SAW ME THAT WAY. THE NEXT THING I KNOW SHE HAS CALLED UP THE MAN THAT HELP ME MOVE AND TOLD HIM I WAS STRUNG OUT ON DRUGS AND SHE WAS GOING TO EVICT ME. I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO BELIEVE HIM. i CALLED HER AND I TOLD HER I WAS NOT ON DRUGS AND I WOULD TAKE A DRUG TEST FOR HER AT ANYTIME. SHE SAID THAT IT REALLY DIDN'T MATTER HER MIND WAS MADE UP AND THAT I DIDN'T FIT IN AROUND THERE. i SAID BUT MAM I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ASK ME TO DO IN A PROMPT MANNER AND SHE SAID WELL I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE TO DO ANYTHING. SHE SAID I'M GOING TO THE SHERRIFS OFFICE TOMORROW AND YOU WILL HAVE 10 DAYS TO GET OUT. I AM SCARED FOR MY CHILD AND I. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HUD WAS ON HER SIDE IN WYNNE AND SHE HAD BEEN TALKING TO THEM FROM THE BEGINING AND SHE SAID THEY SAID THEY COULD MAKE ME LOSE MY HUD. I AM STARTING A LOCAL SCHOOL FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN THE SUMMER AND I REALLY NEED SOME ASSISTANCE FOR HOUSEING . tHE POLICE CAME TO MY HOME WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF ME ARRIVING LAST NIGHT AND TOLD ME HE NEEDED TO COME IN. HE SAID THAT I HAD 10 DAYS TO VACATE. i ASK HIM WHY AND HE SAID SHE HAD TOLD HIM I WAS ON DRUGS AND THAT I ACTED STRANGLY. hE SAID HIMSELF THAT I DID NOT SEEM LIKE A PERSON THAT WAS ON DRUGS AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. i TOLD HIM THAT CONSIDERING I KNEW WHAT CLOSE FRIENDS THEY WERE I HAD RATHER SPEAK WITH SOMEONE MUTUAL AND OBTAIN ADVICE. HE GOT REALLY DEFENSIVE ABOUT ME SAYING THEY WERE CLOSE FRIENDS AND I APOLIGIZED AND EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT SHE HAD MENTIONED HIS NAME SEVERAL TIMES. I TOLD HIM I HAD NO WAY TO MOVE WITHIN 10 DAYS AND I ASK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS STILL HERE. HE SAID I WOULD VIOLATE THE ORDER AND GO TO JAIL. I STARTED CRYING AND HE SAID EVERYTHING WOULD WOK OUT i WAS A GROWN WOMAN AND I WOULD FIGURE OUT SOMETHING. HE SAID HE WAS SORRY TO MEET ME OWN SUCH TERMS AND LEFT. HE THEN WENT TO HER HOUSE AND CAME BACK OVER THERE WANTING TO KNOW WHOS WHITE CAR THAT WAS. HE SAID SHE SAID THAT CAR HAS BEEN HERE A FEW DAYS AND YOU SAID YOU NEVER MET THOSE PEOPLE BEFORE TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE THERE LOOKING AT MY OTHER CAR THAT IS TORN UP. i TOLF HIM THAT THE WHITE CAR WAS MINE AND I JUST MET THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD RESPONDED TO BEING INTRESTED IN MY OLD CAR. HE LEAVES AGAIN. 20 MINUTES LATER WE LEAVE AND HE PULLS US ASIDE AND ASK FOR DRIVERS LICENSE. THEN HE LET US GO AND THE 2 POLICE CARS FOLLOWED US ALL THE WAY TO TAKE HER AND HER HUSBAND HOME. IT WAS VERY HUMILIATING TO GET EVICTED IN FRONT OF PEOPLE I HAD JUST MET. IT WAS HUMILIATING FOR SOMEONE TO ASSUME THAT I WAS TAKING DRUGS. tHE POLICE OFFICER EVEN MADE ME HOLD OUT MY ARMS AND SHINED THE LIGHT ALL OVER THEM. IT WAS VERY STRANGE. WHEN I TOLD HER THE DAY BEFORE THE OFFICER CAME OUT THAT I COULD NOT BE GONE THAT SOON SHE SAID THAT I WOULD IF I WAS SMART BECAUSE SHE KNEW PEOPLE IN CROSS COUNTY AND I SHOULD GO BACK TO WHERE EVER I MOVED FROM. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.i HAVE ALREADY LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES WITH MY LOCAL HUD OFFICE DIRECTOR AND MENTION IN THE LAST 2 MESSAGES.I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT NO ONE EVER RETURNS MY CALLS AND SHE STILL HAS NOT. PLEASE REFER TO THE OTHER EMAIL FROM ME THAT i WROTE FIRST EXPLAINING THE WHOLE SITUATION. I AM VERY SCARED OF BEING HOMELESS WITH A 4 YEAR OLD AND i HAVE NO FAMILY HERE WHAT SO EVER. PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE

Good afternoon:

First, stop talking to this woman. She is only upsetting you and causing you grief.

Second, go to the HUD office. Speak to someone about the situation. Don't leave their until you speak to someone with authority and get their name for future reference. Telephone calls go unanswered.

Third, personally file a discrimination case with the Fair Housing Division of HUD on that property.

Fourth, you cannot be evicted without court intervention.

Finally, go the legal aid department in your town and get legal advise and get an attorney.

Best wishes,
Cherokee

Prior post gave good advice.
Sounds like you were targeted for not being a local or something like that.
I suggest that you file complaints with the state police or state attorney general's office because it sounds like this woman is using the police /sheriff inappropriately by making false police reports and maybe someone needs to file a making police report charge against her and let the sheriff know that they should ignore her and not pursue things against people when they themselves know it is a lie, which I think is the case here.
You do need to talk to someone at the HUD office and ask them to find you a new place.
If there is a court order involved, you need to go to the court and ask that it be voided because this woman made a false police report against you and recommend that she be prosecuted for making a false police report as it is a serious allegation to make up about someone taking drugs when they have a child to care for.
You should check to see if the school you are attending has family housing. It may be best for you to stay on campus. Speak with your counselor there for help and referals to resources.
Good luck.
