how to handle slander..I need advice..

hi

I need some advice on slander and defamation...See the apartment complex I live in..There are residence that reside here have been spreading viscious rumors (that are definitely untrue)about me..They went so as following (stalking) me and trying to get me fired from my job and now problems with my coworkers..Some of the rumors I've heard so far are them calling and passing around That I am a WHORE (which I am not), to be honest I've never had a boyfriend and still a virgin saving myself for marriage..the other is telling others not to trust me or watch their property ( I have a job and paid for everything I own.)..I work really hard for everything I got nobody never gave me nothing and I don't and never take..I don't know what to do...I feel like its only going to get worse..I feel like they're to get me to move...they have bash me so bad that people that use to respect me and speak to me don't anymore..and they went so far to reverse everything to make it seem like I'm the problem and I'm not. Like they try to say I'm stalking them and I'm not..I don't care to get into everybody's business, I'm a good person and work very had to do greatness in my life..But this has hurt me deeply in my heart...I am looking into a lawyer and private investigator and I have spoken to the property manager and I was so shocked to find out he believes them..and told me not to stalk them( but I'm not stalking them they're stalking me.) When I left the office and sat in the car I was so teary eyed and hurt..My spirit is so broken right now...and I don't know how to deal with this.and this is harming in a BIG way..Everybody's giving me a hard time something I don't deserve....at all..
