My wife and I were unfairly evicted because the landlord said she was on drugs. The apartment complex had been trying to renovate, and my wife had just gotten out of the hospital. She is bipolar, and her medication had stopped working. This caused her to become unstable. After her stay in the hospital, she had had enough of the way the property and the apartments were not taking our complaints seriously. The condition of the apartment was very unlivable; there was mold coming from the vents, water pouring from the ceiling, and our furniture was completely destroyed, among other things. I will show in the photos how we were having to live. Then, we were persecuted by the apartment manager, saying my wife was a drug addict because she was complaining about the fact that the apartment complex would not take care of the horrible situation we were forced to live in. We did not have money to move because we were both on disability. We had lived there for 8 years and had never been late on our rent or bills. About a month later, we received an eviction notice, and the apartments stopped taking our rent. This was unbelievable. We had done nothing wrong. I spoke with an attorney, showed him the photos of our apartment, and explained what happened. He then informed me that because of the horrible condition of the apartment and the fact that the apartment complex was not taking care of maintenance, we would have no problem winning the eviction case and could sue for what they had not done. We got our eviction notice in the mail on a Thursday, saying court was on Monday morning. This was during the Covid crisis, so we only had one day to get prepared and have all of our evidence and proof of how horribly we had been treated. When we got to court, we found out that we were supposed to have 5 days to get everything together. We only had one, not including the weekend. At court, they had everyone from the apartment complex there. They were on camera video, meaning that they had time to prepare. They also had an attorney. Who has ever heard of the people who were evicting someone bringing their attorney? At court, they had it set up for arbitration. Who has ever heard of arbitration in an eviction process? During this arbitration, because my name was not on the lease, I was told not to speak, and if I continued, I would be told to leave. My wife was still manic because of her bipolar episode, and she had just again gotten out of the hospital trying to find the right medication. She was still unstable. The next thing I know, someone is asking me to leave the room because I'm answering the questions instead of my wife, who is taking a strong antipsychotic. Not knowing how the court works, I was then told to leave because I would not let my wife speak. She could not because of the medication. So I left, and we were evicted. We had to live out of our car for some time until my mother told us that she would take a chance for us to stay with her. A long story, so now this is where we are in Florida, and we are all homeless, barely surviving. My mother is 89 years old. She is trying to get help; she stays on the phone for hours every day calling doctors. One doctor even told her she was going to die. My wife and I are on disability and are homeless because of the eviction. My mother has been evicted for helping me and my wife while homeless. Now we live with my nephew, who has a wife and child, in a 3-bedroom home. We stay in the 3rd bedroom with my sister, who is homeless and works. Our income equals $2,000 a month. My sister makes minimum wage, and my mother is very ill. She has a partially blocked colon and needs a lot of medical attention. I am disabled and have radiculopathy, causing severe pain. I just had total shoulder replacement surgery. My car is not running. I don't have any way to find a job. The doctor misdiagnosed my shoulder problem as a frozen shoulder when it was osteoarthritis, meaning that it's taken 6 months to have surgery because of the misdiagnosis. After the misdiagnosis, the doctor gave me an injection of cortisone, causing me to wait 3 additional months before he was able to perform surgery, meaning I would have an additional 6 months of recovery time. In the meantime, I was going to a pain clinic because of the severe pain. I then received an injection of cortisone from the doctor at the pain clinic, not knowing it was cortisone. Before the injection, I asked the doctor if it was okay to receive the injection because I was having surgery in 3 days, and I didn't want the injection to keep me from having a further delay, causing me to be almost helpless. Now my other shoulder is hurting, and the osteoarthritis in my other shoulder has gotten worse, so I am almost helpless. I don't have any way to take care of myself without having my wife and family help, making their lives even more troublesome. This means that we cannot fully take care of my mother. My nephew is struggling to pay the mortgage and bills. Food is very expensive, and my mother needs assistance. She is on the phone for hours every day trying to find a nutritionist for help because her life depends on what she can and cannot eat. If we do not find help somewhere, we will all have nowhere to live. That being said, we have 6 adults and one child living in a 3-bedroom home, with 4 adults sharing one of the bedrooms. We have been doing this for 8 months now, and it just seems to keep getting worse. So here I am, where I never thought I would be, still trying. Trying my hardest.
