Reply to comment by allhailthehale in Rhode Island woman dies in police custody in Tennessee by Meatball_Grinder
From what I understand it wasn’t the first hospital to refuse her the medical care she needed.

Dude if that is the case cut tie and find a new place to live. Just separate yourself from someone like that. It sucks that some shifty LL get away with doing this, but actually holding them accountable is a headache because you have to bring them to court if they refuse to pay.

There is the Rhode Island themed store in the Warwick mall I have forgotten the name but I would check them out.

Im not sure what type of lawyer.. I definitely can understand your concerns. Most lawyers will do a consultation with you for free. There is also this in Rhode Island which you could try contacting at least to get some more guidance in this area: https://www.helprilaw.org/node/80/pro-bono-volunteer-law-program

Wait, she was arrested for trespassing because she wouldn't leave the hospital? Did she go there for medical treatment? The article isn't clear.
If so, that's just the cherry on top of this super grim story.

It is not Michie Realty, it is a small LLC based out of Coventry. I believe they own 2 other properties as well.

Thank you very much for all of the info, it helps a lot. We have also been without hot water/running water several times since we moved in. Is there a specific type of lawyer I should contact? I worry about legal fees outweighing what we could withhold from our rent. Thank you.

I saw the video and had no idea the woman was from RI. The entire thing is completely disgusting and shows how the cops and the hospital lack empathy and just regular human decency. 2 issues America has wrapped into one, and things need to change.

Thank you very much for the advice, I will do my best to get in touch with them. They have been ignoring our messages recently so I am unsure how best to reach them. Unfortunately our lease is month-to-month so if they choose not to renew it gives us a very small window to find housing.

I've been photographing the thermostat every day for the past few days just to have evidence. Thankfully 99% of the communication with the landlords is through text so I have written proof of all of these issues and their response time/lack of response. I just don't even know what to do with it all. Do I just save it in case this goes to court?

I am closing soon on a multi and should have a two bedroom available for $1500 + utilities in Warwick/WW line. I would be living there as well. Closing April 1 if you’re interested.

I can't imagine the rage somebody must feel watching the final minutes of their own parent's life, recorded in HD, as they lie on the ground asking for help while being mocked by a group of people that are supposedly there to "protect and serve."
I'm curious how the cop apologists will spin this one, we probably just don't understand how "hard" it is to be a cop because we don't know what they go through and the kind of people they have to deal with.

Make sure to document that things aren’t working and the temperature inside the apartment!
If you end up in court you’ll need all the proof you can get.

Oh god I feel you. I’m sorry this is your first experience renting.
Document everything. Retaliation is still illegal, though you may have trouble proving it’s retaliation and not “market increases” 🤮

This is horrific. Sadly nothing will happen to these cops except for a paid vacation while they "investigate". Qualified Immunity needs to be taken away and police need to be held accountable for their actions like the rest of the population.
