Slum lord refuses to fix rental property w/ mold in it/even after receiving certified letter

By A renter

I rent a  mobile home in Maine. I sent my slum, scum I mean land lord a certified letter stating the issues that needed to be fixed in the home. When he picked up the letter he called me and told me he wasn’t going to fix them up and for me to "leave in a couple weeks" so he could "condemn it and tow it to the garbage". I know my rights, I don’t have to go anywhere without a court order  nor can he condemn the property himself. Furthermore they charge 2-3k to crush a trailer. You can’t just dump it off somewhere.

Is there any assistance anywhere in the state of Maine or on the federal level if you have to move because your place is considered not fit for habability? I know in some states they have help, but in this state only if you are desperately poor and then you need a child and you go to DHHS and get a jokingly small ammount of assistance for a deposit ($250). I’d like to know one place that will accept that low of an amount for their deposit? What happens to people without kids? The police said "they go to a shelter".

Why will the redcross help if an apt in ur building caught on fire and you got a tiny amount of water damage yet won’t help when there is over 10 square feet of mold eating away at the walls in your rental mobile home? Nor will united way, goodwill, salvation army. I’ve called all 4 of these places and I’ll NEVER donate a penny to them again for not helping me.
