Hi Jennifer! I am so sorry you are going through this! [Legal Shield] (https://www.legalshield.com/) actually specializes in tenants and difficult landlords.I worked at another company who partnered with them and how it works is you pay for a monthly plan and there are many different affordable options. It never hurts to check it out to learn your rights which you do have as a renter! Please keep me posted. In the meantime do you have somewhere safe for you and your children to stay?
