We received papers today stating we were being evicted and sued. We live in Indiana. Heres the issues we have been having. We moved in in Sept 2010, We have NEVER been late with rent. when we moved in, the carpets were still wet from the cleaning. Two days after they dried, there were dark stains all over it. We contacted the landlord, he said to clean them again. Our backdoor would not lock, we notified him, and he never fixed them. We did not want to mess with them knowing its illegal too. A few months after, things started going down hill. Our roof started leaking during rain storms; the cabinets between our washer and dryers plumbing in them started leaking, creating black mold we notified him and he bleached it while we weren't home 4 times causing my asthma to act up, never fixed the leak; Our water is so rough, every two showers there's rust running down the walls; No carbon monoxide detector; handle was broken on screen door, told him and ask him to fix it, he took it off and never put one on! My husband asked him when he was gonna put another one on, and he said not for a very long time!; electrical lighting in our bedroom is faulty; He enters our house when we are not home, he has been caught by my friend once, and cops have been called a second time. we had to send him a letter and he never responded. We live in a creek, and pond that's about 30 feet from our backdoor.. In march when all the snow melted, our yard flooded, causing our septic to flood and also back into the plumbing... we called him out, he cleaned the septic. Then three days later we recived a "text" stating we owe him 465 dollars for cleaning the septic (his buddy did it for free from what we were told the day of) and never saw a paper bill. he claimed it all backed up because of a "feminine" item stuck in the toilet and that I am responsible. We stated to him, I do not get "the time of the month" because I have medical issues,and no one comes to our house who is a girl so It must hve been from prior tenant.. never heard another thing till three months later! we got a letter in june from his attourny stating we owe 365 dollars and he will take our deposit because it states in the lease if we are responsible for the problem we owe half! ummmm, thats not half. And in no earthy way were we responsible for it. Anyways, today we recived complaint for ejectment papers, saying we are getting sued for 365 dollars and our security deposit hs already been taken, and we 'broke our lease' because we didn't maintain the property! The cause; we didnt keep up with the grass! Its been raining for 5 days! once the rain stopped we mowed. Again. do we have to pay rent? and is there anything we can do, this guys is seriously crazy. BTW, he is also suing the people who lived here before us for the carpet!!! yet it was never replaced!? Im confused, we were the ones bringing action against him, I even called the health department and Attorney General because our real estate agent said it was wrong, and to report him, yet he comes back with this?
