  1. On or about March 20th, 2020, in front of Plaintiff’s house, Defendant engaged in activities and conducted himself in manner that violated Plaintiff.
  2. Immediately after having a friendly conversation, Defendant contacted the Oakland Police Department and reported Plaintiff on allegations of illegal occupation of my house. The Department dispatched police officers to the residence of Plaintiff. 
  3. Upon arriving at Plaintiff’s residence, Plaintiff explained to the police that the house had been vacant for over 5 years. Plaintiff came into possession through redemption while it was vacant. Plaintiff demonstrated that he paid tax obligations on the house for a period of at least twelve (12) months in accordance with the General Property Tax Act section 211.79a. Plaintiff further demonstrated he obtained a valid building permit, and attempts to obtain a title deed.
  4. The police saw no grounds to arrest/evict Plaintiff as Plaintiff had to their knowledge violated no laws or committed any crime. Despite this outcome, Defendant continued to initiate several complaints against Plaintiff with the police department.
  5. The Defendant openly and without shame disclosed to Plaintiff that Defendant is the one who has been filing reports with the police department.
  6. Sometimes later, Defendant contacted the Municipality Inspector, who came to Plaintiff’s house and posted a note stating that Plaintiff’s residence had no running water.
  7. On several occasions Plaintiff’s mail has gone missing. On one instance, Plaintiff did not receive registered deed title which was sent to him via registered mail. Plaintiff being distressed was constrained to apply to be issued with a new registered deed title.
  8.  As a direct result of the missing title deed, Defendant has on several occasions accused Plaintiff of fraud. Plaintiff has gone further to verbally abuse Plaintiff, referring to him as “trash”.
  9. On March 21st at around midnight, someone knocked on Plaintiffs door and demanded that he and his family evacuate the house. For fear of danger, the following morning Plaintiff began to gather his belongings with the intention of fleeing to safety. 
  10. While removing belongings from his house, Plaintiff was greeted by Defendant’s son. Immediately after, Defendant began to scream yell in a loud voice towards the Plaintiff claiming that “everyone hates you [Plaintiff]”, “you are a fraud”, “you are trash”, “that is not your house”.
  11. Plaintiff attempted to explain his missing mail and second attempt to register for a new title deed over his property. Plaintiff also attempted to explain that running water to his house will only be turned on once Plaintiff has presented a valid title deed. Unfortunately, this information fell on deaf ears.
  12. Plaintiff alleges Defendant has interfered with Plaintiff’s right to enjoyment of property. Plaintiff’s children attended school within walking distance and due to Defendant’s actions, 
  13. Plaintiff redeemed the house with intention of living in the house with his family. To that end, Plaintiff has invested a lot of money and time into the house. Plaintiff even took out a building permit for the property.
  14. Defendant attacked Plaintiff verbally, and also through third parties (i.e. Police and municipality Inspector). Plaintiff has attempted to justify himself to Defendant without success. Plaintiff believes that Defendant’s hostility is likely to escalate whereupon Defendant may take matters into his own hands.
  15. At some point, Defendant began to place his trash cans at the end of Plaintiff’s drive way. The Plaintiff innocently attempted to remove the trash cans from the drive way to place them in their appropriate location. 
  16. Defendant did not approve of this action and walked out of the house, and into the street where the Plaintiff was. This entire time Defendant verbally abused Plaintiff while approaching him. Plaintiff realized the growing danger from Defendant’s aggression and chose to lock himself inside his car which was in the driveway. 
  17. Plaintiff acquired the property free from any debt/liability. Plaintiff has made plans to install a well on the property. Plaintiff has also met with municipality inspector to receive building permits and temporary occupancy permit.
