My landlord is trying to make a fool of me....

My superintendent who collects my checks every month was most likely told by my landlord not to, for he said he won't be working for the landlord anymore collecting the checks....then the superintendent made an aggressive move on me, pushing God and Jesus on me masking his aggression... But I knew better... I knew what he was doing... Now I'm supposed to mail the check to my landlord... But I expected trouble... So I mailed the check with my Peco bill at the same time... 5 days later the landlord said where's the rent... And I told him that I mailed it 5 days ago, he said he never got it, yet my Peco check was cashed 2 days after I mailed it... So when the landlord came over with the roofers I wrote him another check knowing he was lying... Now when the rent is due I'm concerned on what I should do... I could drive it to his house and put it in his mailbox but that seems suspicious... I thought about not mailing the check and when he asks for the rent, I'm gonna lie and say I mailed it... Return a lie for a Lie.... Then he'll be pissed... And then when he comes over I'm gonna slice him to pieces...

If you live in the states you can go to the post office and send the letter by registered mail. Then when they get the letter they have to sign for it. Sorry, you are having to go through this. Sometimes you have to protect yourself. You might have to get some legal advice. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏

My sister told me the same thing... If I register the envelope I can prove I sent it... But I know he's lying, and I know his intentions are beyond malicious.... Also I learned the Police are unsympathetic to my current situation... I know if I reported it or got tried to get legal help I wouldn't get any.... I'm totally cornered in this situation... And all I see is something bad... I literally have no power in this situation...

Don't think of it in that way. Just breathe and it may seem that way, but you have many more options. Maybe you might find a better place just over the horizon. Think of it as a learning lesson. Yes, he/she is lying, but we know you are right.

Take it easy and breathe. Praying 🙏

I know it is easier said than done. See if there is an organization that can help or the attorney general's office. Hopefully, everything will work out.

I'm asking myself for help within, but so far I don't have any answers.... I don't see eye to eye with my landlord, and all I see is some sort of Tyrant.. yet I feel like I'm the bad guy and I'm being punished for something I'm not aware of....

You are not the bad person just remember that. Just breathe. Take it easy.

I know when the time is right I'll get the answers, but until then I'm gonna have to wait until the rents due and prepare myself for the day of reckoning

There are nonprofits that will explain renters legal rights. They are different in different cities. I would not trust USPS right now. You cannot put it in his mailbox. That is illegal. I would make arrangements with the landlord to get it to him. I know it isn’t your fault but sometimes it is worth it to placate and that might smooth things over if he believes you are making an effort. It is possible he is under a lot of financial pressure because so many people can’t pay their rent and there is a moratorium on evictions.

But why is my intuition telling me something isn't right... I'm a man of responsibility.... This situation is making my sensors go crazy... I'm ready.... And prepared for something.... And I don't like it one bit...

You can’t control his actions or feelings, only your own. Short of moving your best bet is to deal with him head on. I would look up a renters right organization because they can at least give you advice on how to document everything. And just keep doing the right thing. Honestly when you said he stopped having his supervisor pick up checks it seemed plausible to me that he is worried about missing a check and it isn’t about you personally. Small landlords are also feeling financial pressure... don’t shoot me for saying that…someone already tried!

Yeah Head on... That what I was thinking.... Only I regret to inform my landlord the day he comes to collect my check after I lie about mailing it to him will be his last day on Earth.... I'm getting dangerously sick.. because of him...
