Update on my new apartment and my situation with the staff
OK, so we all know I was having an issue with the personal care attendance entering my home without announcing and inviting my privacy. I did my love about the lease and the lease stated that I could not get a door chain so instead I bought a door chime and honestly, I thought the problem was solved. Nope, not even a little bit. It was more to it than that. For those of you who didn’t catch my first couple of posts, I am completely blind. I’m 38 years old and I just moved into my own apartment for the first time since being completely blind to little update in. I had a pretty good idea of who it was. It’s the only personal character that doesn’t respond to me when he’s on a shift so let my guest in my order is in. He just doesn’t answer the phone when he sees my number and sometimes he won’t even answer the phone as you see my guest at the gate. I am only stating this after giving him the benefit of the doubt I did speak to my property manager, the first time I felt that way, and she assure me that’s not something that happened around here and they had cameras for that type of thing, but she also assured me that when they have chemistry so she told me that she needs specific dates and time This time I got that as well as videos on the AlfredCamera app the first time I was skeptical about going to the authorities or to management because I was not sure being that I’m completely blind and in a new environment the chance of me being wrong or tripping on or making it all up we’re pretty high not anymore on this night. He came to like several times that they’re indeed was someone in my apartment, but not only that this particular person has been intercepting my guests since I got here for whatever reason he catches him at the gate with them and that’s when he has free one of my apartment to do whatever he’s doing so I don’t know cause I’m blind, but he definitely for sure keeps coming into my apartment. Honestly, it was starting to get really really scary because I was only inviting friends I’ve known for years and I just couldn’t find them how or why they could or would let this stranger follow them into my apartment and not alert me of his presence. Needless to say I am almost out of people that I thought were really good friends and that I could call in the lion on due to this specific situation. My plan is to call property management. Call the program, leader and call disability rights and legal aid in my local area first thing in the morning to explain my situation and definitely get something done about this. It has definitely become a major problem so hopefully I can get something done when I talk to these people in the morning I’m gonna have my dad help me. I do have a few videos from the AlfredCamera app that I was talking about and they have lots of cameras on the property as well. I have my days and times I will be turning them in. I know it’s holiday, but I can get done. I can’t live here with him doing me like that he shouldn’t be allowed to so that has to be something that can be done. Anybody got any ideas? I’m all ears. Thank you in advance oh yeah I left out the times that he was definitely in my house last night. It was between the hours of 8:30 PM and 5:00 AM tonight. I’m sure he was there from 11:14 PM until about 2:30 AM when I notice and put them out honestly I cannot find them with the personal care attendant could be doing in my home at these hours please help if you know of anything or ever experienced anything like it is such to pay rent somewhere and think you finally got your own just to get bullied ran over lied to trespassed invaded and mistreated in what is supposed to be my home.

What about a childproof door strap? They're not technically a chain but work. This would be a tekpo solution. I second involving the police and skipping to a lawyer over apartment management if he works for them. That part was unclear to me.

I have called the police twice and on both occasions because he is the PCA that lets people in and out of the gate he just doesn’t answer whenever I call him to get some get him to let somebody in and it was forces me to leave my apartment to let them in because if it’s because he works here yeah he said that’s why he has time to get out before the police gear But he doesn’t answer my if I have guest. He doesn’t answer for me if I call and tell him I have a delivery being delivered. He doesn’t answer the phone and it’s like it’s crazy. He doesn’t even let me guess him but I can go let them in in the gate and he will enter my apartment with them. This can’t be right. I am contacting This the legal services that I don’t wanna call the police again because I’m looking like I’m crazy but two of my friends that were with me last night both told me that this man was in the apartment and nobody seems to care The case too

It sounds like you're saying your friends knew he was in there with you. Why aren't your friends able to confront him with you

They didn’t tell me he was there until after they were gone, and I wouldn’t consider them friends or invite them into my house anymore

This seems like fifty shades of crazy! Like who are these friends having some one you've not invited into your apartment with them? It makes no sense! Unless these friends are bad actors themselves. People like that are surely easier to have around--if one must--when they can be independently monitored. This would be hard since it seems like you've not been blind long. Why does staff have to open the gate to let people in? There must be other options. I mean honestly, not knowing some one uninvited was in your home suggests living alone might not be the best fit. And like what if there' were some sort of non-life-threatening emergency and this gate attendant person Again refused to let others in who'd be there to help you take care of it? Something is seriously wrong here.

I mean I'd call the police and press charges and get a restraining order.
