Legal to post a negative ad on CL for a bad landlord?

[george graves]

So I have this crazzy landlady - she is amazzing - sunday night is ok for her to use (litterally) a hammer to knock on my door (she has arthrise - so can't knock) so she uses a hammer....she is around all the time and digs through our trash....

What trouble would I get in if I posted a message on creigslist.org warning furture renters of her deal?

Would I be responsable for loosing her income? Or just a consumer with a rights to free speach?

Lawers only....


Thanks!

Sorry it has gotten this bad. Are you ready to move? If she figures out you did it she will terminate your residency.

As long as you stick to facts, do not name her (use the address of the building) do not defame her (say someting like she is crazy) I see no legal problem.

That said if she THINKS it was posted by you she can put you out (assuming you are still month to month)

I'd wait until I was ready to move. Good luck man I have been there.

She sounds like a crazy bitch to me.

Is this the same psycho you were dealing with about a month or so ago?

Probably, though in his previous story the landlady didn't hit the door with a hammer. What a psycho!

Just move man, your going to deal with shitty landlords every once and a while.

[uofom3]

you could be liable for slander, defimation of character, etc.

As mentioned, stick to the FACTS only. Leave opinion out of it. I believe she has to have a reason to evict you, and that reason has to be more than just being upset with you for thinking she is a moron. I would leave it at that.

My disclaimer; i am not a lawyer. This is not certain legal advice, and should not be the basis for any course of action :).

You have free speech george, but then again. What do you have to gain out of deforming her character on that website (or whatever character she has left). Is it that much of a problem to just leave? What if you kinda ignored her.... What does she want when she knocks on the door?

WOW, I'm not a "lawer" but I think you've put yourself firmly in the running for the post with the highest misspelled word:total word ratio.

Post what you want on CL, all this talk of being in trouble for defamation or libel is crap.

Oh, and I certainly would be very careful not to "deform" her character....


Goddamn, did any of you guys go to english class?

Me fail english? That's unpossible!

Go ahead and post your poorly worded ad on craigslist, worst case scenario, she kicks you out of the apartment, which it looks like will end up being the case anyway. The 3 people looking for an old futon and the 5 guys looking for "party & play" will thank you.

Perhaps it is a S.B. only list for wars? (spelled Krieg so still misspelled, btw)

Ha I was going to bust his balls, but I saw that he made the post at 3am or so. I figured I'd cut him a break.

Real lawyers.

A real lawyer will represent either one of you. Who cares about right, wrong, and legal in situations like this. You walk away or do it and hope they walk away or the lawsuit fly. It costs money to win or lose.

Just kill the bitch.

And if you want lawyers go to 46fanatics or tt, this is a forum for people who drive 20 year old cars.
