Q: in my apartment I saw and heard 2 maintenance men talking bad about me to city inspectors on my security camera
What can I do? I have heard the manager and the maintenance men talking very bad and completely inaccurate about me before and I wrote an email asking her and them to stop. After seeing them on my security footage not only talking bad to the point the city inspector told them he didn’t want to get involved and didn’t care, but they were making up lies about me just like before when I heard them talking about me.
I have asked them to stop but it continues. I know in Oregon a manager cannot do that and if they do I can sue for a months rent. What can I do legally to make them stop doing this?
A: So far it does not sound as if you have suffered any adverse loss because of these events. People have a right to their opinions, even if they are wrong, and the reality is you are not going to stop gossip.
