What are your chances of ever getting any money out of this landlord? Sounds like none. So you would spend money on court costs, etc. A lawyer will run you up to $1000 in a heart beat. If any money she gets goes to drugs....there will be nothing to get from her....ever.
I think your first priority is to get out of there. Call the cops if she shows up threatening you. If your income is so high why did you rent this run down place? Some of your story is suspect that way - just saying.

At the the time we rented this place both my wife and me were still on unemployment and could not find work. My wife just recently found work 1 month ago.
I am attempting to find a new place; however, she keeps sabotaging every place I apply for.

You most likely will not get anything out of her from going to court but if you sue her in small claims court you can do that yourself and it is not expensive so may be worth a try. You are going to have a hard time renting if she is bad mouthing you to landlords who call to check on how you were as a tenant. Maybe you can bring a bank statement with you to show that you did indeed pay on time and the amount owed. There are crazy LL's out there just like there are crazy tenants so good luck!

Yea I recently faxed over a criminal background check I paid for on her showing her drug usage. I also faxed over proof that all rent was paid on time. I also faxed over a copy of the lease. I faxed all this to the place that recently denied us and left a message stating that I wanted to prove the landlord was lying.
