My landlord sued me 5 times over a year with multiple phony claims. He used two different law firms. I won every case as pro se.

    Well, I don't want to say too much as my countersuit is going but first I proved that my rent was paid so they lost the first cause. Then he started refusing my rent until I agreed to pay what I had just proven was paid and the court told ruled for me because you can't refuse and return rent, the turn around and sue for non-payment (duh!). Then he tried to falsely claim that my lease expired then he tried to say there was no lease. And that's all just for starters.

    And why are you coming onto a forum with landlords, gloating? Sounds like a troll to me.

    So, you support falsely suing tenants? Because any morally upright landlord would support me.

    For all I know you didn't pay the rent and your landlord filed eviction. Then the day of court yoy deposited the rent into his account and smuggly came to court with the receipt.

    For you to even make this post in this forum tells me that you're not someone that I'd want as a tenant and I'd live to hear your landlord's side, which, I'm sure, would completely change the story.

    Your actions here say more about you than about me.

    Uh...except your landlord is still a millionaire and you still over here sounding like a bum tenant, haha. Don’t think your millionaire landlord is even remotely phased. Probably sippin Mai Tai’s on vacation while their lawyer’s assistant’s intern is wasting your time in court. If you consider this a “win” then good for you. As a tenant I’d personally take more pride in having a steady funded auto-withdrawal for my monthly rental rather than getting dragged to court as if I got nothing better to do with my life.

    Robert Warner after your third post I just assumed you’re a troll. If you sound like a troll and act like a troll, probably a troll

    Aaron, read the original post. I proved that my rent was paid, that my landlord was trying to rip me off, and then he thought that he could break the lease by refusing rent. Never once did I refuse to pay my rent on time, the landlord just refused to accept it.

    Your landlord does not want you as a tenant, take a clue and move out.  

    I have used your landlords approach in the past to break down tenants that do not get the message. Eventually they get it and move on. Winning the suites is not the purpose of your landlords actions. Hopefully you are enjoying the game otherwise you are the loser.

    Sure, Robert, let's read your "original post".

    "My landlord sued me 5 times over a year with multiple phony claims. He used two different law firms. I won every case as pro se."

    Mentions nothing about you proving rent was paid on time. 

    Do you want to read it again?

    How about 5 more times? 

    Then I can create another thread and we can discuss it there?

    I can see why you're clearly model tenant.

    His landlord filed for eviction 5 times and they were dismissed because he came up with payment last minute. Those weren't real lawsuits, just him telling it that way to be a drama queen, since he obviously came on here to troll.

    Why would a landlord do what you are claiming he/she did? Accept rent, then claim you didn't pay it and then sue you to get the "unpaid" rent? Makes zero sense.......

    Are there landlords that stupid and slimy?....probably.....but I'm sure there is a TON more to this whole story than you being 100% in the right. I don't put it past any doubt to have landlord be that stupid to do what you claim, but the odds are against it.

    As for not accepting your rent payments....I can see that......seems pretty standard once the landlord has decided that its time for you to leave and has moved forward with eviction. By accepting rent during an attempted eviction you would be essentially allowing them to stay and nullifying the eviction process.

    IF your landlord was that stupid, then good for you...the landlord got what he/she deserved.....but they are probably not crying in their milk while sitting in their private jet

    @Michaela G. I'm not going to give him that much benefit of the doubt. 

    It is all made up - a lie....

    Unless he produces the paperwork.

    Usually there are few trolls on BP. Unfortunately that’s not the case here. Robert Warner what landlord would sue you 5 times for the same thing? Filing for an eviction isn’t suing.

    OMG that landlord is such a sleaze and so greedy!  Good for you by beating him and wining the right to continue to pay his mortgage.

    I always love hearing a good "defeat the evil landlord" story! I don't read much fiction so sometimes it's refreshing
