What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
I will try to make this short.
2 year lease was signed November 1, 2012. Beginning early May we became friends with a couple that lives across the street one house down. Directly across the street is a friend and employee of my landlord (employment has nothing to do with property or property management). When we became friends the woman was very open with me and informed me that her husband had been arrested in 2003 for suspected sexual abuse of a child. The case went to trial and he was found not guilty. The accuser was a niece who was apparently trying to hurt her father for leaving by accusing her uncle of wrongdoing. She later admitted it was in fact a false allegation and the family relationship has been repaired to the point that the niece (now 19) was at the house a month ago just to visit. This information was given to me on May 7th. On June 1st I received a piece of paper delivered by UPS that was a print out of page 1 of 7 from the courts website which is publicly accessible and it stated that the husband was arrested and what the charges are but not what the outcome was. On the bottom of the page, handwritten were the words "your neighbor- keep kids away! wonder why he's your friend?" I told my friend about this anonymous delivery and she assumed it was the neighbor directly across the street from me (between our houses) because they do not get along and she confronted him. She also called his boss, my landlord who did not get on the phone and told her through a 3rd party that she would be receiving paperwork. The "paperwork" arrived today and it states that he sent the first anonymous letter and felt it was his responsibility to protect his tenants and their children from potential harm from her husband (my kids age 9,12, and 16) This letter went on to say that he has heard that her husband had invited my children into their home, onto their property and to swim in their pool (he did not, it was her who invited them) and that "this in unacceptable and I advise you to cease and desist those actions immediately" "I will suggest you stay away from my tenants and their children, my property and if you don't I will file trespassing charges against you with the promise of further legal actions"
Can he really press charges if my husband and I were to invite them for a bbq? Or if my children and I go to their house to go swimming? Quite frankly, arrest or no arrest, I am careful about who I allow my children to be alone with anyway and at the minimum, if I am not present my 16 yr old is.
I hope that made sense
