We would sit out there and talk.
They would offer beer to us.
And, you know, we would get drinks out there with them.

was, how well did we know
their neighbors

I'm actually Mexican.
So I have always been proud of it.
My whole life, I lived here in Indianapolis.

Luvia says the neighbor
[Luvia] I'm on my property.

the HOA asks the problem
But it's Donata and the Fair Housing Center of Indiana

It makes me very sad
to think about how she made us feel.
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I already asked you to leave me alone.
This is harassment. I'm recording this.
[narrator]
and Christian, have had
over money.
Christian did some handiwork
and claims she underpaid him.
Everything comes
when the landlord tries
through the cellar
and is surprised to learn
the door from the cellar
won't open...
[sharp rapping on door]
...'cause Christian has locked her out.
-[landlord speaking] -[Christian] Can we help you?
Why the [bleep] are you in our house?
[landlord speaking]
[Christian] Why the [bleep] are you in our house?
[Christian]
if I catch her,
I can use this in court to get rent money back
because she's violating something.

Maryland isn't one of them.
And his landlord is not

-[landlord speaking] -[doorknob turning]
[Christian scoffs]
[narrator]
but as a paying tenant,
Christian believes he has
The landlord has had enough
[Christian] I recorded it.
So go ahead and lie.
I'm like, you know what?
This cannot [bleep] happen.
Get the [bleep] out of my house.
[narrator]
and readies for battle.
[Christian] What are you doing in our house?
Get your hands out of my face.
She was like, "Don't you threaten me."
And I'm just laughing, like,
"What do you mean, threaten? Like, were you there?"
I recorded everything,
so I don't know what you mean by "threatening."
Yeah. I can say [bleep] you.
I can say [bleep] you in my own house.
There's no reason for you being
in our house without permission.
[narrator]
and continues to insist
That tenant has no idea you're here.
That tenant's at [bleep] work.
He doesn't know you're here.
Nobody knows you're here.
You're over here doing whatever the hell you want
in our house.
Hey, does anybody know that Robin's here right now?
Does anybody know Robin's here?
[narrator]
[Christian] Did anybody know she was gonna be here?
What are you doing in our house?
She just called the cops on me
because I locked the door to my own basement.
[narrator]
having just signed his lease
although he may
[tenant speaking]
[tenant 2 speaking]
I didn't sign up for this [bleep].
No one signed up for this.
Who in their right mind would sign up for a house
just to be harassed by the landlord
and then pay for the next month to have it happen again.
[narrator]
the landlord simmers down.
[tenant speaking]
[narrator]
and the battle seems won,
but the night is far
The recording stops and the...
The cops actually come 30 seconds later.
So they arrested me right
threatening, and I went
in Baltimore City.
One of the worst experiences I've ever had.
[narrator]
and is eventually cleared
thanks in part to his footage.
What are you doing?
Don't threaten me. Don't lock me in the basement.
[Christian] Get your hands outta my face.
[narrator]
Christian still lives
with the same landlord,
but with a new plan.
As of right now, I refuse to pay rent.
I'm gonna stay here until the sheriffs come.
Because she's not gonna use
So I'm gonna stay my ass here
until the very last minute.
She's not gonna get rid of me that fast.
[narrator]
is far from over.
[tenants speaking]
I didn't sign up for this [bleep].
