You've got your CB family right here, Bud ... let us know how we can help. It doesn't sound entirely legal, what your landlord is doing, but very often just talking to someone face-to-face can bring about positive results. Maybe talk to a lawyer or even the police to see what your options are.
As far as a place to stay, do you have any friends in the area? (I assume you're in Ohio?) ... if not, there are shelters in every city that are always willing to help. Man, this landlord is a huge jerk ... wish I could give him a piece of my mind!
Thanks Bahku, it means a lot. It's not legal, I talked to some friends and still have my grandpa's lawyers card. Working out something tomorrow probably. I called my ex-gf who still lives in the area, thank God we're friends now, anywho, so I'm staying at her place in her extra room. It's actually a she... and believe me, you aren't the only one that does.
(as an aside, yeah I'm in Ohio, Cleveland actually. it has never felt better to walk around in my Paul Pierce jersey
)
Thanks for the well wishes, Klorrik and Ghandi, and thanks for the vids Ghandi, I heard about the Shrek and Donkey thing from a friend I called. Just about the only thing that made me smile tonight, outside of Boston beating the great devil that is... LA
Your guys' kindness has really brightened up my night, it's awesome knowing this kind of support is here, it's not just another sports blog, it really is a family.
