Not to be a jerk or anything but if you are running a home business don't you think you should be getting up as early as 7:00am anyways?\n\nYou could always plug your ears with ear plugs when you go to sleep, coupled by playing some soft music it may actually help dround out the noise.\n\nAbout disturbing your business you may want to contact the city to see what options they may be able to suggest.

you can enter the apartment address into your local property tax website and get the owners name.  Or, contact your old landlord and see what the deal is.  To protect yourself you could put your rent money in an esscrow account and not touch it.  This shows your good faith, that you were setting aside the money, so they can't come back and say you were at fault. \n\nIt's strange the new owner hasn't contacted you.

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, too little information exists to answer this question adequately.  The state you're in would be helpful.  Not posting the same question five times would be helpful.  Nevertheless, I'll answer what I can in this question, and post another question if you need more details.\n\nAt this date and time, it's getting a little too late to deal with the problems adequately.  A notarized note will not be very helpful - after all, the dispute is not about whether the house exists in that condition, but whether you or the landlord should be responsible for the cost of those conditions.\n\nTaking photographs and video is helpful, but again it only shows that damage exists, not who is responsible for it.  The video, though, may be able to show that it wasn't from your abuse of the apartment, but from natural wear and tear that the landlord refused to repair.\n\nDo you have any record of communication with the landlord?  That's the strongest piece of evidence you'll have.  You'd be able to show that you notified the landlord, or that the landlord acknowledged receipt of that request.\n\nIt's a little too late now, but you should have sent certified mailings to the landlord.  The landlord would have had to sign a card acknowledging that he received your letter, and you would have proof that he received your request.  With just 10 days to go, it's too late for that.\n\nI would carefully catalog everything that has happened, with each date you noticed the problem if possible, if the cause was natural, when you notified the landlord, and the entire history of the dispute.  Photos and video are helpful if you go to court.  A notarized statement is not very helpful.  Records of communication with your landlord are extremely helpful.  Otherwise, if you don't get the security deposit, you may simply have to go to small claims court with the recordings and hope that the judge believes your story.

PLEASE READ SIGN TO YOUR LEFT, no other left:\n" please report lost kids toys to 'lost and found' on the ground floor of the building, thank you"

The next time you hear a ruckus going on next door, call the police immediately. Even better check to see if there is a help line for kids to call in your area and use it to report the abuse NOW! Call your Social Services Office or Children's Aid Society and report it to them. They have to check out all reports of abuse. If you are not sure who to call, phone a school or hospital in your area and ask them for a number to use. You can remain anonymous and the woman next door will never know who reported her if you are worried about retaliation on her part. Do this. You'll be glad you did. These children need help.

Get A lawyer but go to a few of them to make sure that they know how to handle your case. ACLU can be very helpful!\nMake sure u keep times/dates/ incidents and names if u can get them. Make sure it is in detail and present it when u find a lawyer u can trust and know he /she is going to take your case seriously! Go to the Mayors office of the city you are being violated in and make them very aware of the situation. Lawyers might ask if u did anything like make  complaints or talk to anyone about this that might be able to take care of it before they will get involved. Good luck !

GET AN APPRAISAL ON THE BUILDING FIRST!!!\n\nYou may run into the problem of the property not being suitable to the area for it's "Highest and best use" meaning that no one will do financing on the property EVER!\n\nThe title company in your area will be able to get you in touch with the owner. If it's abandoned they are most likely elderly or it has reverted back to the city because of enviromental issues.

Sorry.\nSince you are not the owner, should the building be destroyed, you will not loose something that you have but the opportunity of a profit. \nInsuring an object that doesn't belong to you makes no sense, like I would ensure J Lo's behind and get rich if she gets cellulite.\nMaybe you can ensure Elaro's profit if this is an option in your country since I suppose it's too late to stipulate in your contract with the ex state comp. the obligativity for them to ensure the building and compensate your loss in the event of a disaster.

The board represents the owners of the building.\n\nAt first glance it appears that they are suing the developer for failing to disclose issues with the building due to the need for a loan corresponding with the lawsuit against the developer.\n\nGet more involved with you association. That's the best advice I can give you.

Report it to craigslist.  I had the same problem.  if you report them to cragslist, put 911 in the subject line and they will get back to you shortly.  also leave it alone for a few days and the problem should clear up

do you have copies of the complaints you made? on what days you made them? and to whom?\n\nif so, contcat your local/govenment fair housing authority.\n\nas for free rent...not likely. if they sent people to fix it, in a timely fashion after yoru complain was made, (within a week) then you have no case to sue.

Contact the department of licensing and ask them what you can do when things have been abandoned on your property.

Go to the housing court in your area and then head to the records room all L&T case records are accessible to the public.  If this is an issue for you, try you local legal aide office, normally located in the housing court as well..Good luck with that...Also I would call the local authorities...like here in New York we have the 311 line to report the atrocities you are currently living under.  Jackie and Marwan sound like slum lords. Oh yeah you can also take them to court for repairs..But make sure you keep paying your rent....lack of repairs doesn't mean you don't pay rent...that is grounds for an eviction...which by your discription would be a step up....and outta there!

try writing them a letter.  you know, ones that the post office delivers.  they might have forwarded their mail if their house got destroyed

Why isn't the landlord doing something about this?  If you are in a nice community, go over the manager's head to the owners.   Their name should be in your paperwork somewhere, or in the office literature or brochures.   Usually these major corporations have web sites, and are VERY interested in your input.   Use dates, incidents, good descriptions.   They don't like potential theft and destruction problems themselves. \n\nThe bad thing is, some corporates refer the problem back down to the manager, who could get mad at you.   But since he/she isn't  doing their job, they don't have the right.   At this point, what have you got to lose?   \n\nGood luck to you.
