Question

where do i go to report my landlord in VA?

so i moved into my apt march 1 (technically March 4th but the lease started on the 1st.) The lease states no cohabitation. It does not say i can not have over night guests nor does it say i can't have sex. (it will make sense in a minute) It also doesn't state i have to turn my heat off during the day. it does state my utilities are included. My boyfriend stayed the night two nights because he works 2nd shift and by the time he gets here its late. he's been around my kids since before my daughter was a yr old. she's 6 now. on sat morning my landlord informs me it isn't going to 'work out' and wants me to move. she then stated she would give me half my deposit back. i told her she was asking me to move and expected to only give me half of back and i would expect it all back. she then said fine. she then proceeded to ask me if my boyfriend and i have sex etc and i told her it was none of her business and she began to preach to me i shut the door in her face. she then called me not too long after and began to preach again. she called again on sunday and preached to me again and i told her to leave me alone and stop basing everything on assumptions since i wouldn't answer her questions. basically she's evicting me based on her personal beliefs and what she thinks we're doing together. she all but called me a prostitute and kept telling me how horrible of a person i am. she now gave me 30 days notice to leave and threatened to call the cops if he stayed the night. i know she can't have him removed and she also has to go to court to evict. but i'm leaving anyway as soon as i find some where else to live because i'm not dealing with harassment. she also came into my apt and turned my heat off the first day and told me i wasn't to leave it on all day while i wasn't here and there are no heating units in the back half of the apt. she then came down sat when it was 75 degrees out and turned it on then in the conversation on sunday accused me of leaving it on and it made her have to turn on her a/c and she would deduct the excess amount for her electric bill from my deposit. i want to report her for discrimination and unlawful eviction, but have no idea where in va i would do that. any help would be good. i am contacting a lawyer in case she tries to keep or skimp on my deposit. ok. just to clarify since people seem to think i'm 'sleeping around' in front of kids. i am in a monogomous relationship. the lease stipilates he nor any one else can LIVE here. no one but my children and i live here. she decided AFTER me moving in that my bf can't spend the night. she knew ahead of time he would be here and her only concern was to make sure he didn't take showers here. he doesn't. also, for those who think she can have him removed i already contacted the police headquarters to ask about it and they said no she couldn't have him removed because he is a guest i invited and she can't have an order against him just because she doesn't believe in premarital sex. and the only reason i would take her to court is if she doens't give back my deposit. she has no reason to keep my deposit other than greed. she also had no right to enter my apt and turn my heat off with out my knowledge. nor did she have the right to enter my apt and turn it on when it was 75 degrees out. Also, my kids are my priority which is why my bf is around to begin with. Their father (me ex husband) decided he no longer wanted anything to do with them because he had a 'new family'. If my bf isn't allowed around them, to them it's the same as him doing the same thing their dad did. My kids, especially my daughter, adore my bf and a lot of nights can not sleep unless we call him and make sure he's coming over later. if you are responding to 'judge me' then please don't bother. i have heard enough preaching in the past 72 hours to make up for every sunday i've ever missed at church in my entire life.

Where did you get the idea she can not have the BF arrested for trespassing? This is her property, not yours. He is not on the lease. He HAS to cross the exterior of her property to access your apartment. He is certainly subject to trepassing laws. She sounds a little off, but so do you. You are sleeping around in front of a young child, and inappropriately using power for no other reason then to be a wasteful person. You need to hire a lawyer for the disrimination charges. You will have to identify your group and prove discrimination. You sue in small claims for unlawful eviction, but you will lose that one. You clearly violated the lease immediately upon move in. Your landlord has not broken any laws, at least you did not list anything here.

contact an attorney and let him/her handle everything for you. In VA the landlord can restrict all those things you mentioned including not allowing you to have sex in your apartment, but it has to be expressed in writing in the contract or rental agreement. It could be something implied like "no immoral behavior"...that would stand up in court.

your landlord sounds a bit off. HOWEVER< you knew the terms before you moved it and you broke them. Not to preach myself, but I would start putting your kids before your own needs. What does it tell your 6 yr old when you have your boyfriend(s) over???? She knows what is happening...
