Hi everyone,


I'm going through a very rough patch. I moved to Chicago from DC in January 2023. It's been very rocky with crazy landlords. I'm now in a bad situation in the S side.

I came to find this lush landlord on Craigslist. I know that's a bad place for roommates, but it was affordable at $500.

The landlord is crazy. It's taking a toll on my health. I did speak to a tenant organization, but this lush seems somewhat unphased but my attempts at mediation. I have retained an attorney free of cost, but I didn't think it would go this far with someone being unphased.

I was told to call the police if he makes any moves such as changing the locks AKA self help eviction, or doing other illegal activities.

I tried to call 311 today, but was on hold for 20 minutes!!!! I ended up hanging up. What's with this ultra long wait time? I know there's already a housing issue in Chicago. I'm really wanting to just leave this disgusting house! I don't have a place to go to though.

I'm looking for any advice on whom to contact. I'm on the verge of getting a flight, and abandoning most off my belongings because I simply want my sanity!

I've tried to find friends with a couch, it's been unsuccessful.

I still have a roof over my head. I just want to get out asap. The tenant intervention line I called was for restraint purposes.

He was probably an illegal. Life isn't going to get better for them. When the political money runs out, they will all be homeless unless they take to squatting in a blue state.*
