I need landlord help ASAP!

Of course she could sue you for libel (libel is written, slander is spoken). You can sue anybody for anything if you want. I would be very surprised if she actually followed thru. Also, she would have to prove that your claims were lies.
This whole Twitter thing is completely insane. Their are millions of websites that offer reviews of apartments, landlords, tvs and anything else you can name.
Just ignore it and get the hell out of there. Why would you consider staying at a place as bad as you say?

I only consider staying because its in a very good school district and my son has some learning issues that the schools here can better handle
I know...not an excuse and we have been leaning more towards moving away to something better

no i understand that makes sense
i mean it is true that you can sue anyone for anything but i mean, what you said was all true so what can they really do?

In my professional capacity, I've probably been threatened with a lawsuit over a thousand times. I always respond "...if I'm violating any laws, then it is your duty as an American to sue me." Not once have I ever actually been sued. My point being, people throw around that threat all the time, but never actually do it.
She couldn't use the same attorney they use to evict people, because it will take a special attorney to sue for libel. And so she'll have to front $1K or so as a retainer. Chances are that she doesn't have any authority to enter the company into that sort of lawsuit.
I would put the post back up, and put it on as many sites as you can. Further, I would write a letter to the editor of all your local newspapers and see if they'll put it in the paper. If you can document your claims, go ahead and let her file suit - she'll lose. (Remember, the burden of proof is on her to prove that you lied, it's not on you to prove the truth). Then turn around and counter-sue the company for your court costs and attorney fees; you could also probably seek damages for them refusing to renew your lease solely based on your valid complaints.
good advice DebtCruncher and everyone else, thank you for listen

I am just so fed up because in all of this, we have NEVER been late on rent once, we have always paid to fix minor problems like a broken door knob or broken ceiling fan blade. We keep the townhome spotless (well, that's just my craziness) and this is what we get.......now I have to find another place to live and I hate moving!

Freedom of speech. I had the same situation. Sounds like our old landlord. I wrote a nasty letter to the corporate office about my situation which was like the person above. I don't know how some of these people get these jobs
Excellent advice from everyone. I would also pull out a copy of
Excellent advice from everyone. I would also pull out a copy of your lease and see if there is ANYTHING there about freedom of speech issues--and chances are there are not. In that case, make her prove how you violated your lease by posting not so positive reviews about her. And since they are the truth, this witch doesn't have a leg to stand on!

^^ i agree, they must know people are going to say bad things if they are even looking at those reviews.
