Slumlording is Trendy

RUPCO put me in a position where I had to be in front of the same judge who allowed my residential landlord to neglect his duties and responsibilities by failing to fix issues in my building that made it impossible for me to sleep at home for over a year, harass me, stalk me, and intimidate me. This ultimately resulted in me paying over $10,000 to a landlord to torment me, not do his job, as well as break countless laws. This is also the same judge who also ignored my cries for help regarding an abusive relationship. 

This is all exactly what I would expect from a non-profit housing organization like RUPCO. My life is so much better and I’m sure the community will certainly be better off without my business. I’m sure that my $47,000 judgement - not a penny of which RUPCO will EVER see, even if it means hiding every asset and every dime I make for the rest of my fucking life - will have a huge effect on the $27 million dollars in revenue that RUPCO did in 2022. As for me?

RUPCO dismantled my livelihood and my life, as though they were taking apart a piece of IKEA furniture.

I’m really looking forward to spending thousands of more dollars and physically/mentally/emotionally feeling like I’m disintegrating in the process of suing RUPCO. I have been planning on moving the store out of that black cloud of a town for quite some time, I just planned on doing it on my own terms. 

I truly, at this moment, feel like I do not want to be in a world where I have to co-exist with people and companies like this. 

I try to be kind to everyone and do the right thing, I have strong morals and a level of integrity that seems foreign these days. I work my ASS off. But at the moment I can’t peel myself off my kitchen floor or out of bed. I’m already traumatized and now more so, angry, humiliated, panicked, terrified, pissed off, depressed, sad, and completely beside myself.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE JUSTICE?

Another thought: RUPCO is a section 8 provider. They help people in need find housing, right? The fact that they then also will turn around and evict someone from the housing they helped put that person in seems like quite the contradiction. So, if someone goes to RUPCO for help, RUPCO helps them get an apartment, they cannot pay their rent, and RUPCO then evicts them - does said person go back to RUPCO for help because RUPCO evicted them?
