Moving with my mom near Rajbandh for college Need flat/room recommendations near markets and bust stop ! 🏠

Hello everyone ,
I recently got admission into a college in Rajbandh and will be shifting to the area soon.
Since my mother is a bit anxious about hostel ragging, she has decided to move with me and stay nearby instead of me living in the campus hostel.
We’ve been hunting for rental accommodations, but honestly, we've had some really bad luck meeting rather problematic and troubled landlords so far. :(
We are looking for a safe, family-friendly rental setup. Our ideal requirements are :-
• Budget within 10k-15k .
• 3BHK or 2 bathroom 2 room .
• Location: Near Rajbandh, or well-connected areas along the national highway (NH19).
• Convenience: Must be walking distance to a local market/haat for daily groceries.
• Commute: Very close to a bus stop or reliable Toto/Auto stands for an easy daily commute to college.
Are there specific neighborhoods, colonies, or apartments in Rajbandh, Muchipara, Bamunara, or nearby that you would recommend for a student living with their mother ?

Any leads on decent highway rentals or trusted local brokers would be a massive help.
Thank you in advance! 🙏

Hello everyone, I am seeking urgent legal and practical advice. I am an elderly, unwell mother living in a rented flat in West Bengal with my child, who is currently a university student.
I had previously posted on this forum through my child about our neighbor threatening my child's studies and our safety over a pigeon feeding dispute.
The situation has now escalated dangerously. We are currently trapped inside our locked flat tonight, being terrorized, blackmailed, and harassed by a biased cartel of flat owners and the housing society committee.

Here is the complete timeline of events from the beginning until this evening :-

1. Initial Hostility (1.5 Years Ago)
The harassment began within 48 hours of us moving into this building. Our top-floor neighbor (7th floor) aggressively banged on our door and falsely accused me of leaving the common rooftop door open. Even though we politely explained that we had closed the door properly and that multiple other residents had gone up to the rooftop after us, she refused to listen.
Over the last 1.5 years, we observed that these property owners frequently have loud, shouting fights among themselves over parking and minor issues. They routinely turn their aggression toward tenants.

2. The Pigeon Nuisance and Verbal Abuse
The main conflict started because the top-floor resident feeds pigeons daily on the common utility rooftop where I dry clothes. She deliberately scatters bird feed directly underneath where my laundry is hung.
It doesn't even look like standard grain feeding; she actively dumps wet, messy food directly below our clothes, even though pigeons typically eat dry seeds. The food rot and subsequent bird droppings ruin our clothes completely and create a severe respiratory health hazard.
Every time I politely requested her to move the feeding to a non-utility area, she responded with extreme verbal abuse, screaming slurs, and threats. Our landlord refused to intervene.

3. Direct Criminal Intimidation (17th April 2026)
One month ago, after I objected to the filth again, the top-floor resident and her husband came down to our flat. They violently and repeatedly banged on our main door, shouting severe abuses and slurs at me in front of my child .

The husband explicitly threatened our safety and my child’s academic career, stating

"You won't be able to walk around here anymore,"

"I won't allow your clothes to dry on the rooftop at all now," and

"Your studies will be blocked now."

4. The Biased Society Meeting
Following this, the Residential Society President called a meeting. It was entirely biased. They intentionally isolated me. Other supportive tenant witnesses who wanted to speak for us were strictly barred from entering. The flat owners ganged up on me. They dismissed the husband’s explicit threats as "heat of the moment" arguments. When I stood my ground, they labeled me an "aggressive woman," used highly offensive slurs against me and my family, and threatened to lock the rooftop to punish us.
Outnumbered and terrified, I left the meeting.
Immediately after leaving, I called my landlord in tears and completely broke down over the phone, explaining the severe intimidation we just faced. My landlord dismissed the gravity of the situation entirely. He casually told me to just keep using the rooftop normally, do all my tasks as before, and claimed there was "nothing to worry about." He refused to step in or offer any real protection.

5. Escalation to Targeted Vandalism and Harassment (Yesterday & Today)

Things have now turned into physical retaliation and malicious destruction of property :-

• The Dirty Water Incident: Yesterday, the owners repeatedly threw dirty, hazardous water directly in front of our flat door 2 to 3 times, immediately after we cleaned it.

When the tenant living opposite us confronted them for this unhygienic bullying, the owners subjected him to severe verbal abuse as well.

• The Vandalism: Today, I went to the rooftop and discovered that our PVC nail clamps, which were deeply anchored into the brick wall to secure our clotheslines, had been violently torn out of the wall with immense physical force. Chunks of the building's brick wall plaster and paint were ripped out with them, directly fulfilling the neighbor's threat to block us from the terrace.

• Fleeing Tenants: Just two days ago, another tenant family packed up and fled to other state because they also had faced identical tortures and

had their rooftop clothesline ropes cut by these same owners.

• Our Current Situation Tonight:
I have fallen physically ill from the acute stress and trauma of being yelled at and called slurs.
I cannot focus on work anymore and even my child can’t concentrate on studies anymore because of this regular drama .
My husband is currently posted away in Gujarat for work, so it is completely impossible for him to travel back and forth to handle this structural bullying regularly. The cartel of owners clearly knows we are isolated here, and they are intentionally preying on an unwell woman and a student.
The committee is currently demanding me to come up to the isolated rooftop this evening to "verify" the broken wall plaster, which we know is an excuse to corner, mock, and intimidate me again further without witnesses.
I am thinking of staying inside with the door double-locked and ignoring all knocks and calls.
The local police outpost is notorious for being unresponsive & biased toward local property owners.

We are completely helpless and isolated right now while dealing with this immense mental torture. We cannot fight a whole building alone . Any guidance on how to legally handle this or escalate it to higher authorities would mean the world to us.

Thank you.

I live in a rented flat in West Bengal . For the last 1.5–2 years, my top-floor neighbor has been a constant source of distress.

She feeds pigeons daily on the common rooftop where all residents dry their clothes (jahan sab kapde sukhate hain). The pigeons have made the entire area filthy with droppings, ruining our clothes and creating a major health hazard.

Every time we politely request her to stop or move the feeding to a non-utility area, she becomes a menace. She starts shouting at the top of her voice, using abuses and threats. I informed my landlord, but he has been useless and refuses to intervene.

Yesterday, it turned scary. After we complained again, she came down and repeatedly banged on my door, shouting. Her husband joined her and began issuing serious threats. He said :-

• "You won't be able to walk around here anymore."

• "I won't allow your clothes to dry on the rooftop at all now."

• He even threatened my son, saying - "Your child won't be able to study. All his studies will be blocked now."

My Questions:

1) Bird Feeding: Is pigeon feeding legal if it creates a documented health nuisance and destroys property (clothes) in a shared residential space?

2) Criminal Intimidation: Do their threats specifically "you won't be able to walk here" and threatening my child's future/studies , amount to an offence under the BNS (formerly IPC) ?

I am worried about my family’s safety. Any advice on how to handle this legally would be greatly appreciated .
