A rent deposit refund?

I've put my picture back up , maybe I don't have much time left.

Recently I got a call, from my mom. It appears my Sister got a call from the Oaks Hotel. I initially put my sisters phone number as someone they could reach in an emergency. Didn't use my mothers phone number cause ironically I didn't want those people to know where she live. Didn't work! The Oaks Hotel is the place where alot of my troubles started. Its where I complained about sexual harassment by another tenant and the management was VERY SLOW to act if they did anything. Its my allegation that The Oaks was violating my civil rights and trying to "turn me out and the management knew about it.

I've since moved a short distance away from that Hotel. I guess I didn't move far enough away, though I'm only one block away from the police station, I discovered some of the gang members ( one in particular), actually live in this building, I don't think much of underworld, drug types live here. I thought I find some asylum here in Chinatown with the Chinese. But I've not found much peace here. Although this is a quieter building. The Chinese here have been pushing me, harassing me, particularly concerning that man in #711 at the Oaks. Everyone thinks I should play him, it will be the death of me. Meanwhile I'm in a small room with no central heating where I have to pay the Electric utilities, kind of sucky for an SRO. Yesterday I thought I heard the Property manager of this new Hotel say, "Do you want to suck our dicks"?
So much for receiving asylum here.

I'm not able to stay at my mothers house, the neighbors and other types have been harassing her. My inflexible attitude concerning the Oaks and the man in #711 might have endangered there lives. And she doesn't want me to stay with her.

So what does this have to do with getting back a rent deposit? I'm not sure I really have one coming.

When I signed up at the Oaks I paid a small rent deposit, but when the Housing Authority took over the Oaks subsidizing the rent, I remember the management offered my deposit back to me ( under property manager, Ray Butcher). Instead of actually receiving the money they credited me with a month of free rent which I took. This happened many years ago if I remember correctly. But now they're offering some of my money back in a form of a deposit refund. It almost seems a bit like a bribe. If I take the money (200.00) will I be somehow more obligated to them? Will they beat me up, or shoot me if I don't return a favor for possibly more money?

I don't really want the money, but I could sure use it. I've borrowed some money, worked little hours last pay cycle, so I'll hardly be able to cover what I've borrowed. Had to borrow the money to get to work, pay bills. Why? cause have been charged about 200.00 in Bank fees (for less than thirty dollars of overdraft fees) , courtesy of Well fargo Bank last month. Got a 30.00 ticket for fare evasion, for not having the money to pay for a $5.00 bridge toll fee ( golden gate bridge) and a 75.00 ticket for riding my bike down a one way street in Berkeley, California.

I checked with the Property manager at the Oaks, who's new and seem like a nice, cool gal. I actually told them that I thought they have made an error, twice and was willing to give the money back. She told me twice something like ," she wasn't aware of Mr.Butcher possibly giving a months credit to me, she only did what was on the books.

I asked my mom previously about this , and she thinks I should take the money, If I don't , she would. Of course she thinks I'm imagining all this and need psychiatric help, at least that's what she says. A dum attitude to take in my position. I also checked with a counselor I've been seeing. she thinks I should take the money, to my chagrin. Against my own better judgment , I've accepted the money. If the Oaks feel that they owe me money, in a form of a rent deposit refund, and there records tell them otherwise why not take the money, why not?

Because someone might feel that I've been "Paid", "I've been made", "I've been bought". This is what alot of ignorant people have been suggesting about this whole episode of mine at the Oaks Hotel, and my adventures dealing with that fellow in #711. They suggest that in some way I have been , Bought, paid for, purchased by this Troll or others that's why I've been harassed so.
But the only thing I have done up to date was to rent a room I needed at a residential hotel, and continued to stay there while I received a government subsided. it makes accepting , what might be an innocent refund of my deposit , ill advised. So far the check and check stub is still sitting here on my computer.
