Landlord forces my door open ever I am ripping his fucking head off if my dog does not eat him first!
Not true. Warrents don't take that long, the police can "hold" you for 48-72 hrs without cause while they get a warrent, and the execptions to the warrent requierment are numerous. Best not to get arrested rather than hope that the courts will throw out the evidence in a year or 2.
It's very hard to get a just lien someone owes you money, unless it's a mechanics lien (you did work on the property that you weren't paid for) or it was secured by the property, like a mortgage. If a judgment in civil court usually resulted in a real property lien, that a mortgage would be unnecessary because all loans would essentially be mortgages. and even then the sheriff usually sells it at auction and you only get enough to satisfy the debt, after senior creditors. Ask a lawyer how many people get foreclosure for civil suits, and i bet $1000 they will say "very few."And when you win in court, and place a lien on the property as the judgement, you might get the place for free.
It might even scare off the potential buyers standing behind him who don't want to take part in a crime, or the criminal/civil liability afterwards. .All true. But I would argue that any lawyers advice better none; at least the jailhouse lawyers have experience with criminal law. Should you bargain shop for representation in court? No. but nearly any licensed lawyer can give you advice about basic procedure, if they can't then they would have lost their license for being unfit to practice, cuz that's the most basic and elemental aspect of their job. If they give you wrong advice, you got yourself a malpractice case.Maybe so, but also ask how many landlords bust the doors down so they can show your apartment, I'll bet "very few"
The debt on a civil suit from a home invasion and kidnapping by the landlord would be quite high. Much more than the apartment building is worth.
Also the OP should note that all this "jailhouse lawyer" advice is worth exactly what he paid for it. On both sides of the argument.
I like you. You are anal like me.
Hard to keep a habit of checking my own threads.
Be real careful in this type of situation. A long time ago, maybe 18 years back a friend had a large grow in a room in his house, a house he was selling. When viewers came to look, he said it was storage and didnt have the key, no problem. Until one of the "possible buyers" who came to look at the house one day was actually undercover cops.
Now he was dumb as all hell, 100+ plants no odor control, you could smell that shit from the driveway sometimes! And too many people knew, the #1 downfall. Someone had tipped off the police about his grow after an argument and they found an opportunity to get a look for themselves. I think it was a couple days later they came home to find their crop burnt in the yard (guess thats how they did things in Alaska almost 20 years ago) they took all his equipment and they left the warrant on the table.
Not at all saying this is the same situation, but I would never want to have a large, or any kind of grow in a house/apt that is up for sale. You never know what kind of people are going to come into your home.
20 years ago - I can see that happening. Wish it was like that these days. Too many people in jail for no justifiable cause.
