Complaint narrative:
Hello! My name is XXXX XXXX, I am submitting this complaint because I am being charged for unpaid rent from a property in XXXX, NJ, even though I was forced to move out due to serious safety concerns involving a staff member employed by the landlord, and also lived a few doors down. Approximately XXXX years ago while I was living at the property the maintenance worker began engaging in inappropriate and unwanted behavior toward me. He initially approached me under the pretense of helping me apply for a job opening at the building and showed me units and how to do electrical work, use a paint sprayer, XXXX. Shortly after he began to ask me to pursue a personal relationship with him. I declined multiple times, but he continued to be persistent.His behavior escalated to the point where he would block my car in, attempt to corner me in order to talk he would walk by my window day and night I didnt feel comfortable even getting dressed in my own room. I felt increasingly unsafe. The only reason I continued communicating with him at all was because he had implied he could help me professionally, but his behavior quickly became uncomfortable and threatening our safety as he was not taking no for an answer, months straight he parked in front of my XXXX every day, paced back and forth between my bedroom window at all hours of day and night, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX if I was at the gym he happened to be right outside of it, everywhere I went. I did not report this to the leasing office at the time because the maintenance worker named XXXX XXXX told me that all maintenancerelated emails were forwarded to him. I feared retaliation or further harassment if I attempted to report him. Because of this, I made the decision to move out for my own safety.After I moved the situation continued. The same maintenance worker stalked me at my new residence also in XXXX nj in the maintenance truck associated with the property while I was walking my dog. I have witness 's to this also that are willing to confirm with video and picture proof at any time .This confirmed that my safety concerns were valid and ongoing.Given these circumstances, I do not believe I should be held financially responsible for unpaid rent after I was forced to leave due to harassment and stalking by a staff member employed by the landlord.Under the New Jersey Safe Housing Act ( XXXX. XXXX and XXXX ), tenants who are victims of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are legally permitted to terminate their lease early without penalty. My situation falls under this protection, as I left the property due to XXXX and safety concerns caused by an employee of the landlord.I am requesting that the charges for unpaid rent be removed and that this matter be reviewed, as I should not be penalized for leaving an unsafe living environment created by the landlords staff.
