I feel again that I need to sue him for illegal eviction. I wasn't going to do it, because it will cost me a lot of money and effort, and there's no tangible benefit for me as a result. I won't get paid if I win.
But I feel like I'm not standing up for myself and letting it slide. Plus it sets up a bad example for other men. They will know they will get away with it, so they would do it more eagerly.
Sometimes keeping more $$ doesn't equal doing the best for yourself. Something to think about.
