Just to give you alittle background on the situation, A friend of mine whom mind you showed extreme romantic interest in me for three years, rented out a room to me in his house. Here and there, he would complain about little stuff, such as me washing my clothes after 8 o clock , and me leaving a dish in the sink.Recently, it's gotten worse, after a guy friend called his phone asking for me.He came to my door telling to tell that M&%&@*&..to not call his phone again, so after that point things went for the worse, he complained to me that he doesn't want me to park my car in the driveway, he told me that he doesn't appreicater me walking around his house thinking that he wants me because he doesn't, he left a bag of trash that I put in the trash can on my bedroom door and to top it off, he bangs on my door, and tells me that he wants me out today...and if I'm not he's going to change the locks, and he told me he's going to have me jumped..so how do I handle this.. and why is he so mad

I asked him myself why is so mad..He said because I'm a liar, And I asked him why does he feel I am a liar, and he said because I told him that I talked to the other roommate about washing aftet 8 o'clock and he asked her and she said I never did, plus he said that he doesn't appreciate the fact that I called him an a$^&*@...so therefore he's going to get someone to beat me up..for those things..does that sound logical..

Believe him. Bail. It's not logical, but it's not logical to hang around waiting to get jumped either. If the situation feels dangerous- leave. Now.

You know you're going to have to find another place, to get away from this maniac. Meanwhile, go to the cops and report his behavior and threats. They may be able to give you a few phone numbers of temporary safe accommodation. Try and get witnesses to his threats, recordings, etc. Would the other house guest share a place with you, and the rent? If you can't find anywhere else to go, yet, maybe the police might have a friendly word with your landlord, about his threats, and ask him to give you a few more days. He sounds un-predictable, and if I was you, I'd have moved long ago. Stop questioning him, you won't get the answers you want, just get out as soon as you can. No point in hanging around, hoping things will change. He can't make it any clearer that he wants you gone, one way or another

Get on the phone and call the non emergency number to the police department. Tell them your afraid your landlord/owner of the house is going to harm you. You want a police officer there to stand there while you pack up your stuff and move out. Tell them you are being threatened, you just want protection until you leave the premisis.. while you wait for the police to arrive.. keep the door to your room locked and pack up your stuff. If you find you don't have enough boxes try bagging things. if you have furniture arrange with the police officer to return when you bring a rental truck back or pick up truck... do this right now!!

Get some friends and family to help you and get out today!!! I stayed in a bad roommate situation and when I finally left she managed to steal my laptop and a bunch of other belongings.
What I learned from this is when someone acts unbalanced and aggressive they are and don't waste any time in getting out of such a dangerous and unhealthy situation. Don't waste time trying to be logical with him, even if he turns around and behaves normally you never know when he'll go back to the way he has been today. Move fast.....

Very simple! Talk to your local police regarding his threats. If you have any male friends perhaps you might invite one to come and stay a short time.Give this jerk written notice you are leaving and look for another residence. He (the jerk) must give you ample notice by law in oprder to evict you from the premises. If you cannot find someone to come and be with you there then perhaps you should leave yourself and impose upon one of your friends!

You are a renter in his house. What you do is find another place to live and move out pronto.
The WHY of the situation is based on the renter-lover conflict. One or the other but not both. Unfortunately, you are both and he cannot handle that. Sorry. Pack your things and leave.

First of all, start shopping for a new apartment. Whether or not you resolve things with him, you're in a bad situation and you shouldn't expect it to correct itself. If it does correct itself, you shouldn't expect it to stay corrected permanently. It's best for you to get out while you can.
The law in the U.S. states that he has to give you 30 days WRITTEN notice if he is going to evict you. If he does so, then there really isn't anything you can do about it but find another place, but him just telling you to get out is unacceptable in the eyes of the law, and if he changes the locks on you, you can call the police, tell them he has not served you a legal eviction notice, and have them let you back in.
If he threatens you, get yourself a witness to this and report it as soon as you can to the police. He is engaging in criminal activity, and causing you a lot of undue stress.
Bottom line - who cares if it's illogical or not, it's definitely ILLEGAL. And my best advice to you is as I stated above - get out of that place as soon as you can. Heck, if you have relatives that can put you up for a few days, pack your things and move in with them.

Get your own place or move back in with Mom and Dad. The other LOGICAL thing to do would be to get another roommate. Your talking about being logical, i would say you step back and do the same for yourself.
