I want to know more about constructive eviction. Also I wanted to get feedback of any problems that anyones has had with their landlords especially if it became a legal issue. Right now I am looking to sue her on these grounds: having only one power meter box on a multidwelling unit, not giving notice before entry (came home and she was in house at 9:30pm), having workers come in at 7:30am, treating me and my roomate as one instead of seperate tenants (holding me responsible for his actions), no written explanation for withholding money/deposits just a spreadsheet with a bunch of numbers, not giving 60 days notice for eviction (she kicked my roomate out the same day she told him to move and gave me til the end of the month and has been pestering me since about when I was going to get out), not depositing security deposit into trust account (plus she didn't give me the name of the bank and address period she has 30 days to do so). HELP!!! Thank you.

NORMALLY IF THE LANDLORD HAS OTHER OPEN APTS. SHE WOULD TRANSFER YOU....A MULTI-DWELLING MUST HAVE SEPARATE METERS---THOSE THAT DON'T ARE USUALLY TRYING TO SKATE ANY SENSE OF FOLLOWING THE LAWS ENVOLVED.....BECAUSE MOST RENTERS WON'T CHALLENGE DUE TO PERCIEVED COSTS----THIS IS WHY SMALL CLAIMS COURT WAS PUT INTO EXISTENCE---USE IT.....SHE WILL NOT WANT TO END UP IN COURT CAUSE THE ELECTRICAL COSTS COULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE FOR NEW METERS----LET HER KNOW THIS & WORK OUT SOMETHING AGREEABLE TO BOTH OF YOU BEFORE GOING TO SM. CLM. CRT........

Ive been a landlord in Calif. for 20 years. I dont know anything about NC laws. There should be a state website for the laws you can refer to , it may answer some questions. If you can get out without to many losses....I would , unless an eviction could go on your record , then you will have to look after that. It can be a horrible mess to go after anyone legallly. Lawyers are expensive. They will get you all caught up and it can cost you big time.
Even if you just need to file court papers , it takes money. If I were you , I would get a new place as soon as possible or go live temp. with a friend until you find something. Not much will stop your landlord from this harassment and violation. YOu need to weigh the costs, your landlord doesnt seem threatened, and you dont need the added stress. Im on your side !

Constructive eviction only happens in extreme cases, and usually when the property becomes uninhabitable - i.e. conditions are so bad that a human being simply cannot live in it/ For example: the landlord doesn't fix broken toilet so there is raw sewage pumping out all over. The things you described, while horrible, are not constructive eviction. Not giving notice before entry is trespassing not an eviction. Not giving notice for eviction (if the lease required it) is breach of contract. And so on.

you're meant to call the law enforcement officials and record a record for noise after 10 p.m. Wait till the top of the month in case they go away. Your manager and landlord are not any further in touch such as your psychological issues. house living has its drawbacks.
