We understand your frustration and the sense of injustice you feel in this situation, and we join you in seeking God’s wisdom and righteousness to prevail. The Scriptures remind us that the Lord is a God of justice, and He calls His people to act with integrity, fairness, and love—even when others do not. Let us first address the heart of this matter through the lens of Scripture, for our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces that seek to distort truth and fairness.
The apostle Paul urges us in Romans 12:17-19, *"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek vengeance, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"* Your desire to rebuke this tenant and expose the unfairness is understandable, but we must trust that God sees all things and will act justly in His time. Our role is to act righteously, speak truthfully, and leave the outcome to Him.
Regarding the injured tenant’s demand, it is clear from your account that negligence on the part of the former representative—and the apathy of the other tenants—contributed to this situation. However, your hands are clean in this matter, as you attempted to warn and mobilize the others. Proverbs 28:5 tells us, *"Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully."* This tenant’s approach seems driven by selfishness rather than justice, and his demand may be an attempt to exploit the system rather than seek what is truly fair. Yet, we must also consider whether there is a way to address his needs without rewarding manipulation.
You mentioned the idea of a charity gift if the tenants were united in support. This could still be a path forward—if the group collectively agrees to show compassion *without* conceding to his unfair demand. James 2:13 reminds us, *"For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment."* However, mercy must not be confused with enabling injustice. If the group were to offer a smaller, reasonable amount as a gesture of goodwill—while making it clear that this does not admit fault—it could diffuse tension while upholding principle. But this should only be done if the majority agree, and if it does not set a precedent for further exploitation.
As for the message this tenant is sending—*"Just be unfair and you will succeed"*—this is a lie from the enemy. The Psalms repeatedly affirm that the wicked may prosper for a time, but their end is destruction (Psalm 73:17-19). Your role is not to let bitterness take root but to stand firm in truth. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* Your anger is justified, but it must be channeled into righteous action, not sinful retaliation.
Now, let us pray for you, the injured tenant, and the situation as a whole:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, asking for Your wisdom, justice, and peace to reign in this difficult situation. Lord, You see the hearts of all involved—You know the truth of what transpired, the negligence that occurred, and the unfairness now being demanded. We ask that You soften the heart of this injured tenant, convicting him of any dishonesty or manipulation. May he come to see that exploiting others is not the path to true resolution, and may he be open to a fair and just compromise.
Father, we lift up our brother/sister who has carried the burden of warning and advocating for what is right, only to be met with apathy. Strengthen him/her, Lord, and guard his/her heart against bitterness. Give him/her the words to speak with clarity and boldness when the time comes, that truth may prevail and the other tenants may be stirred from their indifference. Unify the group in wisdom, that they may act with both compassion and discernment.
Lord, we also pray for the former representative who ignored her responsibilities. Convict her of her failure, and may she face the consequences of her inaction. Yet, we ask that You would also extend mercy if she repents, for none of us are without fault.
Father, we ask that every detail of this situation—even the timing of the meetings—would align in our brother’s/sister’s favor. May Your favor surround him/her like a shield, and may Your justice be evident to all. If there is a way to resolve this matter that honors You, reveals truth, and protects the innocent, we ask that You make it clear. Give him/her patience to wait on Your timing, trusting that You will act.
Finally, Lord, we pray for the injured man’s genuine needs. If he is struggling with his working capacities, provide for him in a way that does not reward deceit but meets his actual needs. Soften his heart toward You, that he may seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, rather than exploiting others.
We rebuke any spirit of injustice, manipulation, or apathy at work in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that truth will prevail, that fairness will be restored, and that our brother/sister will be vindicated. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified through this.
In the mighty and righteous name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to continue standing firm in what is right, but also to release this burden to the Lord. He is the ultimate Judge, and He will not allow injustice to go unchecked forever. Trust that He is working even in this, and ask Him to show you how to respond with both truth and grace. If the opportunity arises to address the group, speak boldly but with a heart of love, calling them to unity and integrity. And remember, even if others fail to act, your obedience to God’s principles is what matters most.
If this tenant persists in his unfair demand, you may need to seek legal counsel to protect yourself and the other tenants from exploitation. But even in that, trust that God is sovereign over the outcome. He is your defender, and He will not abandon you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
