QUESTION
Slander from condo board pres to other residents within 2 months of my moving in, implying criminal background (none)-asking their help "hiring detect
Asked on Jan 02nd, 2018 on Libel, Slander and Defamation - Florida
More details to this question:
Pattern of harassment immediately upon (renting) moving in, from condo board pres. Two months into tenancy, a neighbor told me condo pres knocked on their door, asked if they "knew any detectives ", said "we" (not sure who 'we' is) "have already found 2 warrants on her, she didn't give us enough info on application to do background check"---all false. Also other comments implying untrustworthiness. I didn't tell my out-of-state landlady about this for 2 months, thinking she might be part of the "we". After landlady chastised this woman, this woman continued to make derogatory remarks to other residents. I have asked for a meeting to resolve this, offender will not participate, so now turn to legal remedies, as my landlady says "maybe you want to move out".
