Thanks ((((Raynaadi)))) for your post. I think the landlords are between a rock and a hard place since the wife of the landlord works with both myself and the woman who rents upstairs. But, as far as I'm concerned, it should have no bearing on what's right and wrong here.

You are right, I do have a right to protect myself and my home. My stomach is in knots everytime I have to go out and worry about that maroon breaking into my place. He's been known to do that too.

As far as the sex offenders listing goes, I believe that every state has a list. I found mine at my states .gov website under state police. The search engine lets you search by name, or town for listings. If I end up moving you can be sure I will be doing a search for the address I'm moving to. I want to make sure that the place I live in and the surrounding area is safe.

Hugssssssss
