Whelp, all the #LandlordDrama culminated in me getting contacted by the district court bailiff (on 15th October). There's no eviction date set yet though but it almost doesn't matter because the harsh finnish winter has started. We (me and my chosen family @DionRa) can't stay here, isolated and stuck, without adequate heating. The landlord refuses to get the chimney fixed, despite CO poisoning.

He had promised to renew my lease, but went back on that after I stood up for my and others' rights. I got angry on behalf of the people of colour who he sent to endanger their health, working without basic equipment like boots and gloves to dispose of trash (rusted metal, shards, chemicals, kitchen and even bathroom trash) half-buried amidst stinging nettles and lots of ants. They arrived on a sunday with only their sandal-wearing spouse to help, kid in tow (had to wait in the car). I honestly doubt they were paid at all, definitely not an adequate amount.

I refuse to just let the landlord get away with this. They are systematically preying on the marginalised and desperate, exploiting tenants and POC for labour and endangering our/their health. CO poisoning is no joke. I don't even have time to list all the other problems with this house and all the ways in which the landlord has abused me. I was suicidal for a while.

What I need first is to physically survive and get my family through this. Then I plan to let the court know about all the landlord's crimes. But first I need to find a new place to live, one that is actually fit for human habitation. The main reason I couldn't find one yet is that I can't give the new landlord my old one's number as a reference and no one will rent to me otherwise.

How You Can Help:

- Be my fake landlord reference! A free, safe and relatively easy thing to do that would have the BIGGEST IMPACT! (more info in 🧵; dm me 🙏)
- Boost this and/or OTHER posts of me and @DionRa
- donate money for our survival (food, heating, bills, moving, deposit, rent of new place)
€ paypal: bellis-storm@tutanota.com
£ paypal: diontheblackdragon@gmail.com
or dm for € or £ bank transfer

Fundraising goals and progress at the linked post. Updating this overwhelms me because not knowing where we'll live in two weeks is the main problem, so Dion will do that task.

The main thing holding @DionRa and me back from finding a place to live is our lack of a landlord's reference, due to our current landlord being a verbally abusive harrasser who likes to exploit POC (me getting angry at that is what started all this #LandlordDrama and got us kicked out) and the one before that being a literal nazi we had to flee from.

Potential new landlords ask for references and contact details and won't rent to me without that! They already don't like that I'm a foreigner without a finnish identification number. (We don't mention Dion bc he's undocumented.)

Can someone give us a fake reference and pretend to be our landlord for a minute? We'd need:
- a phone number they could call where you'd tell them I was a good renter IF they even call
- a name and address to give the prospective new landlord (this can be fake)
- e-mail optional
- it doesn't matter where you live, our current landlord also doesn't live here in Finland

Please help! We're both survivors of chronic abuse and have NO irl friends or family we can ask for help, at all. We just want a safe place to live so we can continue our antifa stuff, like making music, art, games and writing books in Dion's case and supporting abuse survivors and making zines in my case. We also dream of opening up our home to others who need it in the future. We know what it's like to struggle for basic survival in a hostile world and we know how to support others through that, we just need the chance to do so!
