Illegal Lockout by Landlord — noise complaint retaliation by landlord

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

noise complaint retaliation by landlord. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $3,305. We are on a month-to-month now.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
