My landlord verbally abuses me and repeatedly gives out personal information. What can I do to make it stop?

I pay my rent on time and keep quietly to myself, so other than to respectfully complain about problems in the community, I avoid the management team like the plague because the wife has been repeatedly verbally abusive to me and the man is on a power trip. They "blacklist" tenants that stand up to them, they spread lies, give out personal and private information, and incite problems between neighbors to harass those they don't like. They want me gone because I have backed others that have complained or reported unsafe conditions to the authorities, but they have no legal cause for my eviction, so they create a hostile environment how ever they can. I have very little money for legal fees and they make sure there are no witnesses so I have no real documentation of their abuse.

This last time upon returning the key to the laundry room, the woman "manager" came out screaming and spitting in an overblown rage because I had put a filthy, stinking trash can outside the door of the laundry while I did my clothes. The place is always nasty but I have to use it, and at times there is a lot of funk coming off the trash can and it stinks up the room. I always put it back and at times I even clean up everybody else's mess, so I not only don't understand what the issue is, but resent that this woman feels it is acceptable to verbally abuse me and act in such an unprofessional manner especially for something so petty.

She knows I don't like them and think they are lousy managers, but she still has a professional duty to consider. Now I want to take legal action to stop this abuse, at least until I can move out hopefully after this winter, but I don't know if a restraining order could be effective. I also know it will only escalate if I stand up for myself and report them to the authorities. I can't take the stress very well because of health issues, I resent that they are forcing me out of my home through such tactics, but I can't stand being victimized and harassed so I have to do something to make it stop.

A corporation of doctors and lawyers owns the property and are notorious for ignoring problems and even dare people to try to sue them saying how they have millions of dollars and a crack legal team. They don't care about anything but the money and their low income, senior residents can "just move if you don't like it". I own a mobile home in a once nice park, that now has a reputation of being the dregs so selling our units and moving is a serious issue for most of us. I also suspect that no matter how much the managers want me gone, they will complicate the sale just to cause additional trouble for me... some have literally handed over the keys, just to get out of this place! I need a sale to get into a decent place and refuse to hand them over my equity for their profit!

    This appears to be more involved than what a simple post can cover.

    You don't state what State you live in so I can't look it up, I would suggest you research the laws in your State. Verbal abuse is a misdemeanor in most states, in VA for instance depending on the type of abuse it could be a class three or four misdemeanor, if she/he is abusing you, you ought to let them know "this is abuse, and this is why" then state "unless you change the behavior I'll report you to the authorities" then if it continues do report them and let them spend a night in jail and/or pay the fine. Once you have done that a couple of times, I'm certain they'll learn manners quickly.

    BTW if you are going to do that, to prevent it later turns into a he said/she said argument make sure you carry a digital recorder with you at all times in your pocket. Every time you engage in a conversation with these people TURN ON THE RECORDER if you don't need the recording simply delete it, if you do need it they will never be able to say "I never said that", you win.

    I understand completely. Contact the housing authorities in the county where you live. Tenants have just as many rights as the owners. Harassment is illegal. If you are a senior citizen there is a thing called 'senior abuse' and anyone who practices it is breaking the law. It won't be necessary for you to hire lawyers. The housing authority will handle it.

    You might have a case for a lawsuit. But, unless you and your neighbors who side with you want to all go after the property manager, it sounds like a place you need to simply move away from.
