I received a cease and desist order from my ex-trainer at the barn where my horse is boarded. She claims I made false statements about her that would affect her business and demands I cease making such statements and formally retract them. I did contact stable management about safety issues, including the trainer riding my horse with the girth on backwards, resulting in untreated wounds. I also mentioned alcohol consumption by the trainer and her underage assistants, which made me uncomfortable. How can I stand up for the truth, protect my right to tell the truth to others, and handle the cease and desist order, especially since one statement is true and the other two I never made? Additionally, how do I protect myself and my family from continued harassment via text, email, and in-person contact at the barn?

I have been in a lease for a condominium in Scottsdale, Arizona since April 2012. My landlord resides in Montreal, Quebec. I have always paid rent on time and taken good care of the property. However, due to repeated disturbances caused by my roommate, who suffers from Dementia and alcoholism, the landlord initially asked us to vacate the property by December 31, 2012, even though rent was paid through March 2013. The landlord later allowed me to stay but required my roommate to leave. Despite my efforts, my roommate has not left and continues to cause disturbances. The landlord now insists that both of us must leave within a couple of days. Given my health issues and the difficulty of finding a new place within such a short time, I am seeking advice on my tenant rights and how to handle this situation. Specifically, I want to know: 1) Do I have any rights to stay until the end of my paid lease period despite the disturbances? 2) How can I get my roommate to leave without further police involvement and disruptions?
