(Update)

I reviewed the video this morning. He said that I'm using my disability as a crutch and manipulating people with it. Then he says, if you're disabled, how can you care for the dog?

Fast-forward several hours and he just left here. He walked in, went straight to the kitchen island, layed out a bunch of papers, then said, yeah, your carpet has stains so I'm giving you a 30 day notice to evict. He wanted me to sign papers agreeing to a date but I declined. I was told this morning that he may be in violation of the Fair Housing Act and given The contact info for someone to look into it. So.......I guess I'm moving. :/


As many here know, a few months ago I was raising money to help purchase and train a service dog for myself. The dog has been with us for about a month now and he is currently in his first training class.

Today, our landlord of 4 1/2 years shows up demanding entry into our house. He had seen the dog in the front yard when he was passing by and stopped. He said he knew nothing about it and never received my doctor's note. I checked my email after he left. It was sent 2 months ago to him. He also claimed that during furnace filter change last month, he noticed stains in the carpet. He wanted us to immediately pay for new carpet to be put in. BTW, The carpet was 5 years old when we moved in.

He finally said that this situation was not working for him and we needed to move. I asked if it was because of the dog and he said it wasn't. He got back in his truck to leave but then got back out to tell me that I'm using my disability as a crutch and needed to stop. He went on to talk about how his son is disabled and isn't like me. At this point, my wife came out and said he needed to leave. They started yelling and he said to just call the cops on him. When my wife called 911, he left.


Now, am I wrong to feel he was out of line and to talk about my disability the way he did? He also left notice that he is returning to photograph all of the rooms in 48 hours. Is he just looking for an excuse? Doesn't it seem odd that this happened only one month after the dog arrived? Btw, he comes once a month to inspect everything. I may be leaving out parts of this as it all happened so fast. In addition to a bad heart, I have really bad anxiety and PTSD. The one good thing about all of this is I had cameras installed outside because I don't feel safe. Everything that happened today was recorded.
