A CALIFORNIA couple is facing an eviction they claim is because they fed nearby squirrels. 

The couple is seeking legal help as the husband is permanently disabled with dementia and suffers from PTSD, as does his wife. 

Based in Marina Del Ray in Los Angeles, the couple said their landlord is allegedly attempting to blame them for the building’s recent rodent infestation. 

The woman – only identified as Mary – sought legal assistance on Just Answer for advice on their situation. 

During the online chat, the Californian explained she and her husband had recently received a “pink slip” in their mailbox that read “eviction.”

Mary claimed her landlord is “trying to blame” the couple for causing a rodent infestation by feeding squirrels, which happens to go against the renter’s agreement. 

Additionally, she alleged the landlord was trying to force the couple out over her husband’s temperament. 

“We both have PTSD that has worsened and I tried so hard to comply but they kept giving us lists of things to do,” the woman wrote. 

She explained that while they have been attempting to comply with the landlord’s requests, such as cleaning baseboards and moving furniture, she believes the company is simply attempting to “get rid” of the couple. 

“It became clear that they were just trying to get rid of us, lists of misinformation, failure on their part to keep agreements and the stress of being attacked by a corporation, with a mentally unstable husband caused me to lapse and give some nuts to the squirrels,” Mary wrote.

She also claimed that the couple had been sent a 10-day compliance notice, with a list of grievances that informed them to hand over the property if they could not comply. 

The woman admitted that she should never have fed the squirrels but claims she “couldn’t stop.”

“I am afraid of my husband and for my husband as happens with brain injuries and I may have given them cause,” she wrote.

“The main person told me in our meeting that we were not being evicted and seemed to be working with us.”

“At this point, I’m am so afraid, I don’t feel like I can form clear thoughts.”

The advisor informed Mary through the Just Answer legal assistance site that she should obtain a landlord-tenant lawyer to resolve the situation.

A lawyer who specializes in the rights of those who have disabilities was also encouraged by the legal advisor.

VETERAN EVICTIONS

As The U.S. Sun previously reported, a disabled veteran in Bradenton, Florida, about 25 miles south of St. Petersburg, was evicted from his home after 20 years, per local NBC affiliate WFLA. 

The veteran, John McKenzie, has various health problems as a result of his service with the US Army.

He said he’ll continue to fight, this time against the eviction.

McKenzie was left locked out of the home with his furniture and personal belongings placed in the driveway.

Records obtained by the outlet revealed that the Secretary of Veteran Affairs owns the home after insufficient payments from the resident.

McKenzie plans to file a civil lawsuit and claims that the mortgage provider changed several times over the years, so he didn’t know who to pay.
