ITT people dog-piling somebody in a shitty situation, in a shitty society, who can’t find adequate and affordable housing and arguing in defense of a landlord who won’t give them a clear copy of their renter’s agreement and who has forcibly closed their windows. See OP’s edit: edit: I am purposefully not engaging with any comments on the subject of whether or not my landlord has a genuine gripe about me having my window open and my door closed in a room that does not have a temperature sensor for the A/C system. I offered to close the vent. I offered to have my rent raised to compensate. All was ignored. It’s about power tripping. So this post is about my rights in the face of that.

Yeah what the fuck is all this siding with the landlord about? I thought we were leftists lmao. If I were OP I would stay out of Lemmy for a bit, the replies in this thread are probably just making the panic attack worse. I don’t care about the nitty gritty details of the issue with the AC or the door or whatever, I don’t know why everyone is paying so much thought to that. The major problem is that the landlord is abusing an authority that is barely even legitimate to begin with, and is threatening OP with eviction if they don’t obey; the specific circumstances in which such abuse has materialized is irrelevant. They are especially irrelevant if you are going to play lawyer with them to uphold the landlord’s authority. I think that we as a community should avoid this kind of behavior. Sending you strength, OP
