Name of a good attorney?

I need the name of a good attorney, that won’t hold back. My commercial landlord evicted me without a court order, falsfified eviction papers, used his “status” in a small town to have the chief of police threaten to arrest me, got my utilities disconnected that were in my name, told the post office to not deliver the business mail and is holding all possessions, including customers vehicles. He then badmouthed me to customers, friends, and vendors and had some of my equipment repossessed. He then falsfiifed a document about a tire business that I purchased stating he purchased it so he could keep the tire equipment. (I have the original purchase agreement) I need an attorney to help me do to this man what he has done to my family. I’m in Southern Indiana. Any help would be much appreciated.

Can tenant get moving costs if landlord is neglectful in Rhode Island?

2 months ago I reported a mice infestation and the lanlord laid some traps and poison. 2 weeks ago I saw their droppings all over my kitchen and bed!! I told him and he said since his traps had caught nothing, he would bring more poison and more traps. I want him to call a professional exterminator and a professional who will seal all the holes but all he wants to do is lay cheap traps and poison which has NOT worked. I am fed up and want to move but it will cost me . Can I recover the moving costs from him? Here is the RI tenant handbook excerpt. What does “injunctive relief” for the tenant mean?

§ 34-18-28 Noncompliance by the landlord in general. – (a) Except as provided by this chapter, if there is a noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or a noncompliance with § 34-18-22 materially affecting health and safety, the tenant may deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in twenty (20) days, and the rental agreement shall terminate as provided in the notice subject to the following:
(1) If the breach is remediable by repairs, the payment of damages or otherwise and the landlord adequately remedies the breach before the date specified in the notice, the rental agreement shall not terminate by reason of the breach.
(2) If substantially the same act or omission which constituted a prior noncompliance of which notice was given recurs within six (6) months, the tenant may terminate the rental agreement upon at least fourteen (14) days’ written notice specifying the breach and the date of termination of the rental agreement.
(3) The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of his or her family, or other person on the premises with his or her consent.
(b) Except as provided in this chapter, the tenant may recover actual damages and obtain injunctive relief for noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or § 34-18-22. If the landlord’s noncompliance is willful, the tenant may recover reasonable attorney’s fees.
(c) The remedy provided in subsection (b) of this section is in addition to any right of the tenant arising under subsection (a).
(d) If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall return all security recoverable by the tenant under § 34-18-19 and all prepaid rent.
History of Section.
(P.L. 1986, ch. 200, § 2.)
You guys DON’T UNDERSTAND how horrendous it is to find mice poop EVERYWHERE. I find it daily in my food, my shoes, my dishes, inside my beddings, my clothes, my seats. It is DISGUSTING. I have lived like this for TWO MONTHS. How long am I supposed to take these conditions? Surely there has to be some way I can get relief. The landlords’ measures ARE NOT WORKING!!

Should I sue Landlord?

Long story short, we were given a notice from the city last week telling us that we need to move. I took the notice to a legal aid attorney and he said that we have to leave asap. That the city has condemned the place due to electrical problems. Well we have no where to go so we are staying until we find a room somewhere.Attorney said that should be fine as long as the landlord doesnt come and make us leave. But to find a place asap. My question is, can I sue my landlord for us having to move before our lease is up? Has anyone done this?

Can someone help me please?

Hassling Landlord!!!?

My landlord (actually his son-in-law, who now has “power of attorney”) is renovating the parking lot to better serve the business of the nail salon tenants downstairs and is telling me that I have too many vehicles out there. Right now, they are spread out at work and at my mothers, but cannot stay there much longer.

Does he have the right to do this? There is far more than enough room!

I was never told anything about any limitations or restrictions. In fact, there is NO lease or agreement… nothing signed.

What is the best possible action that I could take?

I was just evicted from my rented Missouri property. I lost most of my property. Do I have any rights?

My landlord filed a judgment against me for rent. I paid rent owed before the court date but still owed late fees. I didnt think I needed to go to court and I had called the landlords attorney on 3 seperate occasions without a response. I didnt go to court and later received a notice of a judgment against me. My fault for not going to court anyway. Fast forward about 40 days and I got home 2 days ago after work(6pm) and there was a notice from the Sherriff that I was being evicted the next day at 11am. I called my landord with no response. I called her again the following morning with no answer/no response. I had a meeting first thing and when I got out of my meeting at 10am I had 2 messages from the sherriff thay they were removing my property and thay I needed to get out there with a moving truck. I got there 2 hours later and everyone was gone as were most of my property. Most of the property left was damaged or destoryed. Do I have any rights here? Or is this just how it works?

Crazy tenants – please advise!!?

This is my third post about this matter and I really appreciate everyones advise. As you may or may not know, we made the mistake of locking in a tenant into a 3 year lease that has been horrible from day one – that are aggressive, vicious, constantly causing trouble and are very clearly trying to get money out of us. We recently had a situation with the heating of the house that we fixed within 24 hours. Since then, we have sent them TWO certified letters in the mail, none of which they have signed for.
The most recent is an important letter stating that they are in breach of contract. Per the advise of people on this board, we sent them a letter after they REFUSED to confirm the names and number of people living in our house. We have the original names from when they first moved in on the lease but our township recently sent us a form that they wanted filled out w this info (and we are suspicious that someone else is living there anyway). They refused to give us this info and we sent them a letter stating they have a week to get back to us with the name and until then they are in breach of contract. The next step I am assuming would be to send them an eviction notice but at this point, knowing how vicious they are, I’m scared. Every time someone goes to the house, they scream and yell and intimidate them. If they aren’t accepting our letters, what can we do? Essentially they won’t let us communicate with them (despite the fact that they constantly send US letters).
What should we do? They are very much so after us and since they are pretty poor, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have played this game before to bring someone to court. What does one do when they don’t sign for letters? If we evict them, do they have to move out? How can they refuse to give us this basic information?
Please advise on what we should do next:( Thanks so much!
