Verbal abuse and harassment Verbal abuse and harassment

1 month ago

Hi, I live as a tenant and one of the woman in my building has been verbally abusing me everytime I pass by. She calls me a bitch and once even showed a middle finger. having a rational dialogue with her is not an option as she is just looking for a reason to pick a fight. So far I had been avoiding her by not reacting, hoping she will stop if she does not see my reach or respond in any which way. But it has been 4 months now. I have also informed my landlord and he tried talking to her family, but of no use. What are legal remedies available for me to resolve this issue?

A.Dear Client,

Given the contentious nature of your opponent, it might be wise to consider avoiding further conflict and, if feasible, relocating to a different rented accommodation. Engaging in legal proceedings with someone who is inclined towards confrontation could lead to prolonged litigation and potential counterclaims, especially if false accusations are involved.

By preemptively avoiding escalation and seeking a peaceful resolution, you can mitigate the risk of protracted legal battles and focus on finding a more amicable living arrangement. However, if legal action becomes unavoidable, it's essential to consult with a legal expert to navigate the situation effectively and protect your rights.

A.Dear Sir/Madam,
In this case since your opponent seems to be a quarrelsome woman better to avoid and if possible change the location and shift to some other rented house. Even if go to Police Station then your case will be registered and her complaint which may be false so may be registered as a counter case. Thus, you will be in litigation for years together.
