I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing with your property manager and board. It sounds like a very challenging situation. Given the nature of the harassment and the actions you described, it might be wise to document everything meticulously. Keep a detailed record of all interactions, including dates, times, and descriptions of each incident, along with any communication attempts you've made, such as emails or texts. This documentation can be crucial in any legal or formal complaint process.
You could consider reaching out to local tenant advocacy groups or a legal aid organization that provides support to individuals in housing disputes, especially those with limited income. They often offer free or low-cost advice and might help you understand your rights under local landlord-tenant laws. They might also be able to assist you in mediating the situation or even representing you if the matter escalates.
Additionally, if you haven’t already, communicating formally with the board about your grievances could also be an important step. Send a detailed letter or email to the board outlining the issues and how they affect you. Request a formal meeting to discuss these grievances. Sometimes, official complaints can prompt more structured and rule-bound responses from property management and boards.
