My situation can be mostly summarized by a previous post I made here: https://hexbear.net/post/912572

So the first legal remedy that I have available to me taking up my case on the basis that I was evicted after coming out is bisexual. They couldn't offer me any guidance as to asking for a settlement, but I noticed that Not only was the former friend of mine listed but also the apartment complex. So what I'm thinking of is as follows:

  1. The termination of the employee that committed the offense

  2. Mandatory diversity and tenants rights training for all remaining employees and ownership

  3. The above mentioned rights are to be posted in all employee locations and the entrances to the apartment complex

  4. Monetary damages to be paid in the sum of $100,000

Tell me if this is a terrible thing to post here

    Okay I'm gonna buck the trend - maybe change the order of the list to order of priority for your personal situation (putting money first), but keep everything on the list?

    My idea is that it might be more persuasively presented this way - yes, I'm suing because I have been personally harmed and I want to recoup my losses, but also this shit is unconscionable and it would be great to ensure nobody else suffers this same harm by firing those responsible, training those who remain, and informing the other tenants.

    honestly, it would be awesome if there were a snowball's chance in hell that you could get them to have to take out some ads locally to inform not just their tenants but all tenants of their rights, or better yet force them to include it in all of their advertisement of apartments for lease for the next decade

    PS - how are your cats? did they settle in eventually and make friends with the pig?

      The cats are healthy... but they're too afraid of the dogs (and the pig that makes weird ass noises) to leave my room so far :(

      I'm trying to keep the door open (with a baby fence) so that they get acclimated but I'm only home for a couple hours on a workday. I think I need to change the strategy...

      My violent drunk roommate lets his leave by the window, but I don't want to do that because I don't want mosquitos getting in and the screen only fits by virtue of a bunch of masking tape around the sides, so it can't be removed and replaced.
