Cristobal Perez Deadbeat Tenant from Hell Suing me! His Lawyer wants me held in contempt of court! Washington Washington District of Columbia
I have an investment property that unfortunately has gotten me into trouble. There are squatters in my house. They have no valid lease. They are living there illegally. I was already in the process of trying to get these squatters from hell evicted along with my house manager.
Back in the summer, the electricity was cut off for non-payment. They managed to get a lawyer to come after me to get the electricity back on. This is an organization of over zealous law students. (Legal Aid Society of Washington D.C.)These people I know nothing about except that my house manager says they are drug dealers managed to sue me.
Their lawyer managed to convince the judge to issue a court order for me to turn the electricity back on. I just can't believe this! How could these outlaws obtain so much power! It isn't right! Their lawyer even managed to have the U.S. Marshalls come after me threatening to arrest me if I didn't come to court.
My finances are horrible! This is why I'm trying to get this house sold, not only to get it out of my name, but to also get the mortgage paid off and to get the profit I so desperately need to get my finances back in order. There was no way and there is still no way for me to afford an attorney. I was forced to come without a lawyer.
My house manager has tried to get me a lawyer, but to know avail. It seems like only people with $$$ can get good lawyers to fight on their behalf. The opossing lawyer would demand to speak to my lawyer and then when we were unable to get one, they used it against me. I was forced to write a bad check to get the electricity back on.
Had I had a lawyer, these people would not have been able to have the legal system come against me. I may have no money, but it doesn't give these freaks any right to mess me over like this! Its a scam! Something must be done! Justice must be served! Now its coming back to haunt me!
The lawyer called me the other day saying that there was a note on the door saying that there was still money owed on the electric bill. She says that it seems I am in violation of my court order and thus in contempt of court.
Another thing, I got a letter from the court saying that she was no longer representing these people. Is there anything she can do? What was she doing sneaking over there anyway? Well the electricity is still on isn't it? Technically, I am not in contempt of court since I did get the electricity back on.
It just didn't get paid that's all. And my house manager is supposed to have payment arrangements to keep it on. What the hell am I saying! In D.C. the landlord isn't even supposed to pay the utilities for the tenants. And these people aren't even real tenants! They can't get away with this! I have contacted my local news. These outlaws have a lawyer that is trying to make an outlaw out of me! This is such an outrageous injustice! What do I do???
