When we rented we always called the landloard for any problem.  \nIf he told us to get things fixed I would ask for him to recommend the repair man.  When the repairman came I would ask the landlord to be there.  The landlord knew what was going on and he was the one who would OK any repairs and then pay the bills.  \nI do not know how you went about doing the repairs and if you would be responsible or not....Sorry...  \n\nI would think since it was a problem with the plumbing that it would be the landlords responsibility but I will bet that he is not willing to pay the bill now....

Its a very good possibility that the apartment was used for cooking meth. If that was the case then don't return there. All the walls, floor covering everything has to be removed and replaced. The general rule is to demolish the building, due to the chemicals still lingering. \nI would not go back as it can cause long lasting health problems. Check with your local health department.

Go to the RRA... Renters Rights Association. They will handle it! They eat that kinda crap up... I know cuz I have been an apartment manager b4 and the owners where total asses... there was so many things i couldnt do after the tentants were promised things by the owners then went back on em... good luck

Um, not really. If the original problem was fixed within reasonable time, and now you hear mice, that is not a viable excuse to move out of the apartment and break your lease.\nContact management again (in writing) and let them know of the mice problem. Log all your contacts with them. (go into the office with your note, ask them to stamp it received and keep a copy) you will need to document the problem especially if it gets bad.\nDo everything in writing, thats what gets most people (nothing in writing). Documentation is everything should you need to go to court.

There's really not a whole lot that a landlord is responsible for but I can tell you that they are responsible for providing a safe place to live which includes plumbing and electrical.  Even if you don't have any written documents showing you complained about the electrical stability, it will be his word against yours and since he never fixed it, he won't have any receipts.\n\nMy advice is to get a lawyer.  You shouldn't have too much trouble finding one if the house if worth $800,000.  The lawyer should take it on a contingency fee (they get paid when you get paid).  If your claim is less than $5,000 you can take him to small claims court.  If you win you can put a lien against the property until he pays you.  Your winnings will also collect 10% annual interest until paid.  Also, if he tries to sell the property you will get you money before he gets his.

sadly, it sure is.  i had a problem with my downstairs neighbors in my apartment complex, and we ended up having to call the cops.  the officer couldnt do anything about it, but he encouraged us to record any sounds or disturbances we heard for evidence for next time.

That depends on how honest you are. There is a good chance that someone else is being charged for your bill, there are often times screw ups in the wiring and he electrical setup, so if you are an honest person, you should call and find out for sure what is going on.

a couple of years ago when my father passed away, he didn't want to leave my mother.  all kinds of phenomena took place such as, lights strobing, tv turning on and off by itself,  interference with the telephone, hearing aids etc.  i had taken 2 sympathy cards to mom from both myself and my daughter.  they had been placed on the mantle over the fireplace.  when i came back in the living room, the cards were face up in dad's chair which was the last place i saw him alive.  no one else could have been responsible for the activity as it was only mom and me in the house and she was upstairs sleeping.  i  checked with the neighbours to see if their power had been flickering or their phones not working and they told me they hadn't had any trouble.  my brother confirmed that there were no electrical problems with the house when i questioned him.   i finally convinced dad that mom would be ok and we would all take care of her.  it took about 2 days but he finally went to the light.  at that point, all of the activity stopped.   the strange thing is i was so conflicted emotionally when he left.  i felt sad that he had gone, but also relieved he had finally made the transition.  i miss him very much but know he is always with me.  i am sure there are skeptics out there that will not believe what i experienced but that is their issue.  i know what occurred and that is what is important to me.  take care.

She has 30 days to return your security deposit and pay your lease termination fee.  You will not be able to file in small claims court until the 30 days has passed or your case will be thrown out and you cannot re-file.\n\nShe must provide you with an itemized list of all of the deductions made from the security deposit.  You may request in court the receipts for these deductions.  For example, if an electrician repaired a jammed garbage disposal, he would have provided her a receipt.  If the property handyman did it you can be charged for the actual cost of the parts and a percentage (usually by hour) of his wages dependent upon how long it reasonably took to repair it.  There is a big difference between repairs done for maintenance purposes (landlord's responsibility) and repairs/replacements done due to renter responsibility, as well.  \n\nIn the garbage disposal example, if the jam was due to a foreign object down there, renter responsibility.  But, if it is due to an old disposer and the blades are binding, landlord eats it.\n\nSince it was a mutually agreed upon lease termination with compensation, she may not have been legally bound to serve a 30 day written notice in your locality.  However, she said you had to vacate in 3 weeks?  If you pay your rent a month in advance like I require, she owes you an additional one week's rental payment refund, as well, because you agreed to vacate a week earlier than you were paid through.\n\nCheck out your original lease agreement for the non-renewal or termination of lease clause.  It should specify your responsibilities upon vacating.  (I.E. My units are professionally cleaned, deorderized, disinfected for infectious diseases and sanitized before rental, tenants will not receive their deposits returned in full if they clean the unit themselves because they are not returning it in the condition they received it.)

Depends on the contract you signed. I'd suggest you read it again. My feeling is that the landlord is responsible for it. But I don't know for sure.

You need to call the building or housing inspector who will come out there, take a look at it and order your landlord to make repairs if necessary.  \n\nSmall claims court and lawyers have nothing to do with this.
