Hello. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It sounds like a complicated and distressing situation. I’m not entirely clear on the facts — whether your landlord and your employer are the same party, for instance. Regardless, you have a right to be safe in your home and to be free from the type of treatment you describe.
My suggestion is that you seek the guidance of a local landlord/tenant or employment lawyer who can assess all of the information, review your lease contract and the terms of your husband’s employment, and assist you to find a more satisfactory living situation.
There are low- or no-cost services available through Texas Legal Services, or you can contact the state bar association for more information or referrals to affordable legal services. Best of luck. I hope the situation is resolved quickly.
