My life is filled with problems

-

Dear Pastor, I took my man to Linstead hospital because he became ill. He was admitted. One of the young men who worked for us visited him at the hospital. While he was there, I went to use the bathroom. When I returned, the guy who was visiting him had left.

My man was discharged so I took him home. The young man came back on Sunday with items he had bought for me. I changed my man’s clothes about four times during the night. I had given him soup to eat.

The young man who worked for us came with his woman and brought the soup for him. He started to vomit so I asked the guy who worked for us to take him to the doctor’s office i n Linstead because I wanted to clean the house.

When I didn’t see him return, I called and he informed me that they were at the hospital in Spanish Town. They admitted him.

I was with him every day and night. The Friday, I cleaned him up and left. On the Saturday, as I was getting dressed to go back to the hospital, some people came to the house and said he was dead and that they wanted the bank book and other documents. They took away everything. It was only the mercy of God that caused them not to kill me.

NO PEACE

Dear A.S., I suggest you take these people to court to get them out of your house. Perhaps you should also report them to JPS. If one is working with the company, it does not give them the right to break the law. I am sure the company will not tolerate that. Your man and yourself need to live in peace and enjoy your property. Tenants have rights but property owners have rights too. And when someone rents a home, it does not mean that they can do anything that they feel like. If you believe that you cannot handle this matter alone, you need to retain a lawyer to represent you. Deal with this matter right away according to the law, but please, do not get into any arguments with your tenants. I wish you well.
