Narcissist Behavior Q&A
📄 They hide the lease and block me from checking it
Hiding the housing documents obstructs your rightful claims and your ability to verify the deposit. Securing the contract evidence comes first.
The short answer
Without seeing the lease, verifying your rights and your deposit becomes nearly impossible.
Scenes like this
- The lease stayed hidden, and whose name it's in stayed a secret.
- They blocked you from getting on the lease and took the contract and the paperwork.
How to tell the difference
Is the paperwork just being organized together — or are you blocked from even viewing it or keeping a copy?
When this happens, try this
- Back up photos of the lease, the deposit payment records, and any tenancy paperwork somewhere safe they can't find.
- Confirm where you legally stand with a HUD-approved housing counselor or a legal aid office (LawHelp.org).
