Is my landlord harassing me?

"She told me that we should give it up for adoption and that her friends were interested."

That's unbelievable! When I was pregnant many moons ago, a guy came up to me and offered to buy the as yet un-born baby and even mentioned a figure was willing to pay. He's very lucky that I didn't report him to the authorities. I don't know what the laws are like where you are but here in Quebec, he'd have been in trouble.

Does the woman have a screw or two loose? Good luck to you, all the same. I hope you can move and get away from the likes of her.

Go see the Legal Aid Society if there's one near you. Or get a lawyer to write a letter to her. And I would report her to the local housing authority. Also print out the texts and anything else you have. Keep a log of when she talks to you and what she says, and date it and put the time on it. Ask your mother to keep a log of all conversations as well.

Yes, this is harassment. I'm not sure what you can do about it, other than move out, but there may be legal remedies available to you.

A lawyer may advise you to tell her to put all requests in writing, as you will not accept phone calls from her anymore.

Usually the law is that she must give you 24 hours notice before entering your residence.

Tell her there is no reason for her to need to reach your internet router and there is no reason for her to meet with you.

If you do ever see her friends who want to adopt, you can point out to them that she is a terrible representative of their interests, and that she would alienate anyone who was considering giving up a child, which you are not.

Move

Most definitely, keep all texts and letters she sends you. Also make sure you keep all contracts that was signed...

It sounds like serious harassment.

I am currently pregnant and one day my landlord took it upon herself to write a long text message to me pointing out everything that was "wrong" with my boyfriend mainly. She said we would never have a happy child and essentially that we would be horrible parents. She told me that we should give it up for adoption and that her friends were interested. I managed to calmly reply telling her I didn't appreciate what she was saying and to stop. She then tried to change the terms of our lease and lied saying I never told her I had cats, when I did at move in and our lease allowed it. She said she'd give us 30 days to get rid of all pets, along with a few other changes to the lease that was just the main one. We told her we'd just relocate because of the obvious nonsense she was going on about. Then she demanded to come in and inspect the house multiple times and would not reschedule to a time that was good for both of us and I had to change my schedule to meet her when she mandated. Then she told us she was bringing people in to view the house between the hours of 11-7 every day until we were moved out. Also, throughout this she has contacted my mother multiple times about the adoption and about coming with me to do the walk through when my mother isn't even on the lease. Now she is demanding I come over tonight because I'm "playing games" with her because the Internet router is in a place that she can not reach.
