Is it just me or does life seem really unfair?

We have been evicted..and no it isn't the usual, well you didn't pay so why should they let you stay? See we did pay..huge mistake was we agreed upon moving in not to get a receipt for cash payments. (Landlord says he would have to charge higher rent..because he would have to pay taxes on the place and he doesn't).Anyhow we were overjoyed with the place and after living with my in-laws for almost a year, it was time to go.We have been here a year, always paid on time. We knew the landlord had a drinking problem, his Brother does too and he lives next door. LL lives a few doors down. This never really bothered us until January 21, LL called and asked what's up with all the noise down the? Me:I have no idea what you are talking about. LL:It sounds like ya'll are tearing the place up. Me:I'm sorry, the kids were probably playing hard and being noisy..I'll make sure they keep it down. (HE has never complained about this in the previous 10 months we were here, actually encouraged play between my kids and the neighbor kids..said it was great having them around) LL: I'll be there in 30 minutes to inspect Me:O.k. He shows up in 20 minutes. I open the door and he just pushes past me, he reeks of beer. He looks in every room, says he finds nothing wrong..and when he and I were alone in the master bath he called my husband crazy. I found out later that he had told my son that his Daddy is crazy. Anyway, he starts to leave and turns around and says "it's just time for ya'll to move on".My husband begged him for a reason..LL says "just because".My husband is a Army Veteran, he doesn't beg..plead or cry unless it comes to his family. So he leaves and comes back 10 minutes later with this poorly written eviction notice, nothing stating why.Needless to say, we were really thrown for a loop.My Mom even called him, he said "all the noise just left him shaken". Now if he had warned us before and we had not heeded the warning, then I might understand this. The next morning first thing, he came back and apologized..says let's just forget about yesterday..oh by the way, can I have that letter back? Me:Absolutley not.We cannot afford to move at this point, so I try to "forget about it".My husband on the other hand is a veteran with PTSD already, this made it worse on a whole new level.He wound up in the hospital, lost his job.One month to the day later my son and his friends were outside playing..as were their dogs, that always play together. LL's brother (next door) has a dog as well, his dog is always tied up..but not that day. He attacked my son's dog, neighbor comes out with a .22 rifle and shoots our dog right there, in front of my son and his friends.Now, the brother has bragged about being a convicted felon, so I am not so sure he should even own this gun. We called the police, LL wasn't happy we called. March 8th, we paid 2 months rent..to pay up because my husband had lost his job.March 25th LL came by and handed us another eviction notice, to be out in 6 days..he says we owe him rent.We have paid it, but there is no receipt to prove it.We went to court last Wednesday, the judge didn't even give me a chance to speak.I just do not know what to do, I guess we will be moving back in with my in-laws..the last time we were there to help them, this time I guess we are there for help. I just feel so compltetely wronged, I loved this place..And I paid my money to be here. I want to appeal, but I cannot afford to.Uggghhh!I have 2 children, that have to be uprooted at the end of the school year, and a husband that I am seriously worried about.
