LANDLORD PROBLEMS- MAKING LIFE HELL

here is the problem, we just moved in our three bedroom apt in dec 2012. The landlord didn't want to sign the lease so we settled for rental agreement. The rental agreement states that the house is rented to three people ( my mother and my older son-22 years old). However, I verbally mentioned that my brother will be coming from UK and will stay till he RECEIVES HIS GREEN CARD as he has no other place to stay or go (though this was not taken in writing- very big mistake on my part).
Two weeks after we moved in, I received a call from the landlord asking my brother to move out. Furthermore, she was complaining about the pounding sound (she lives downstairs) and also complained that we are not keeping our garbage outside (even though I am but late at night as I work till 10.00 pm)
third week she calls again and asks when will my brother move again even though I CLEARLY STATED THAT HE WILL STAY TILL HE GETS HIS GREENCARD and she said that she wants see my garbage to be satisfied that we are throwing regularly. (I complied with it)

Fourth week, she gives me a letter stating that she will go to court if my brother doesn't move out. THING IS MY BROTHER IS ONLY HERE waiting for his green card and he has no other place to go.
Now, considering she is really a a**hole, I want to move out, but it is dead winter and told her that I will move out as soon as the winter passes by and when I find a suitable accommodation

I don't want nonsense court issue ( i don't have time) I just want to know if in case she goes to court how will my side show up? Also, there are some fixtures that need to done such as fixing window that is broken and carbon monoxide detector. I didn't mention about these issues as I thought I would manage without it but now that LANDLORD is bugging, can I use this against her?

This landlord is 97 years old and has ample of time to sit and mess with people. What can I do if she doesn't agree with the moving part (the reason I rather move is that I sense that she will always complain every other day if she has so much to say in just 5 weeks also, this landlord is very noisy and asks about every guest I have over and complains about the garbage, pounding and my brother overstaying.
So, what will happen if she goes to court and how should I deal with this situation. I recently moved to states from UK and really donât know much about the laws and regulations.


P.S : My brother has been staying with us for 5 weeks (we still have not received his Green Card)
Also my state is NJ
to geeta: BEFORE MOVING IN, I CLEARLY STATED THAT. I DON'T THINK I AM WAS PLAYING WITH HER, I TOLD HER DAUGHTER AS WELL AND SHE AGREED WITH ME BUT DOESN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED AS HER MOTHER DOESN'T WANT HER TOO. I JUST MOVED TO STATES AND I DONT HAVE MUCH FAMILY HERE AND MY BROTHER CAN'T GO BACK TO UK AS HE DIDN'T GET HIS GREEN CARD YET. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING BY SAYING THAT I AM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER?
TO ALICIALIONS: Yes, I agree with you. I should have listened to my sixth sense. the letter the LL gave me says that I asked her that my brother is waiting for Green card. So i do have something in writing
to flower- okay, she has my security that she will release after 30 days from moving date.I shouldn't have bothered with this lady ( i did see a red flag when she didn't want to sign the lease. thanks for your input

Answer
You move out as soon as it is convenient and put up with her. Do you have a security deposit with her?

Why do people claim the government is not wasteful when the stimulus bill project is paying $27 per light bulb?

And we wonder why we have a $13 TRILLION federal debt.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-12/new-jersey-auditor-questions-27-light-bulbs-billed-under-stimulus-program.html

Contractors billed New Jersey $27 for light bulbs, and ran up tens of thousands of dollars in other âunreasonable costsâ on a $119 million weatherization program funded with U.S. stimulus money, the state auditor said.

Out of $613,600 in charges reviewed, $54,000, or 8.8 percent, was deemed unreasonable by Auditor Stephen Eells, according to a Nov. 8 report to lawmakers. The audit examined program oversight by the state Community Affairs Department.

One contractor sought $27 for light bulbs, while another billed $1.50 for similar items, according to the report and Assistant Auditor Thomas Meseroll. Another vendor charged $75 for carbon-monoxide detectors that it had provided to a different program for $22, the report said. Eells also cited $32,700 in auditing fees when âno services had been performedâ and $69,000 in construction costs that couldnât be verified.
"Whoever said the government is not wasteful?"

Liberals, mainly Barack Obama who think that government is the solution for everything.
"That's why you have an auditor."

Auditors, can and often ARE paid off. Like I said, there is a reason we have such a massive debt, it's because of waste and abuse like this.

Firms run by Hillary Clinton pollster Mark Penn stand to make $6M from stimulus plan

Hillary Clinton pollster Mark Penn is looking at some pretty sweet numbers - namely $6 million in federal stimulus dollars awarded to two firms he controls.

The Hill newspaper reported Wednesday that $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus package helped preserve three jobs at Burson-Marsteller, the global PR firm headed by Penn.

The Obama administration awarded the contracts to Burson-Marsteller to work on a public-relations campaign to advertise the national switch from analog to digital television.

Nearly $2.8 million of the contract was issued to Penn's polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, according to federal records.

They also show that a former adviser to President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign also received nearly $70,000 from that contract to help alert viewers in difficult-to-reach communities that their televisions would soon no longer receive broadcast signals.

The adviser, Alfredo J. Balsera, who heads a PR firm based in Coral Gables, Fla., helped craft Obama's Hispanic advertising message.

As Secretary of State, Clinton has continued to try and pay off what was a $20 million mountain of leftover campaign debt. And she had largely succeeded - her outstanding debt is down to $995,500.

Every penny of that $995,500 is owed to to Penn's polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland, records show.

Oh, and by the way, that 5.9 million helped to "preserve" a grand total of 3 jobs:
