Crazy stalker landlord

By Lori

So I just moved into the home that I am leasing on 1 January 2012 and every since than it has been a nightmare. Within the first week of moving in I had the landlord coming here to the home unannouced walking around the side of the home. I though okay maybe he forgot something but than it has continued to happen. I could but sitting in the living room and hear something on the side of the house and it would be him trying to peak through the windows in the back or on the side. He has even just stood across the street at his other rental property looking at me and my two young girls age 4 and 11. Then on 30 January I received a letter in the mail stating that I was late on the rent for February, WHAT??? Heck it was just the 1st. Well needless to say that by 8:45pm I recieved a call from him asking me where’s the rent and you better pay me now. He continued to call all night until I told him that I would be moving at the end of the month and if he called me one more time I was going to file a harassment charge against him. So he stop calling and preceeded to ride through the neighborhood, stand and sit across the street at his other home looking at me and my kids, even my sisters that stop by to visit. He has his other renters calling him and letting him know when I am at home. He has made it to the point where I will not let my daugther change in her room because I am scared that he is looking at her. I have also installed a camera because I don’t know what he is going to do. I also recieved a letter in the mail stating that the home will have a lien placed on it because they haven’t payed the bill for the water company hooking this home up to the sewer. Not to mention that they have the home listed as their business address. I just moved out of a home that the landlord was been forcelosed on and I found out a week before they put the notice on it.

I want out but I want to do it legally, what should I do?
