I live in California. I have been dealing with harassment with my landlord since I moved in. When I moved in, I asked if I could get a cat for my son for Christmas. They agreed, said I had to pay the pet deposit of $300. I paid the deposit in December when I got the cat.
About two weeks after I got the cat, the landlord started to harass me saying that I had to neuter my cat. And he needed written proof.
I had no qualms about neutering my cat, but the Golden State Humane Society would only fix cats that are 6 month and 5 pounds.
My cat also from the beginning had medical problems. After seeking care through several vets, we discovered while trying to get him fixed that he had an obstruction in his throat. And they refused to do the surgery, refusing to give the cat anesthesia, afraid of his breathing, since he had breathing problems (apnea due to the block)
In May -17th, I gave notice because of the harassment. At the end of the month, I was hospitalized, and needed to rescing my notice. He told me that unless I showed him written proof that I neutered my cat, he was going to give me a three day or quit. I spoke with people in the Prop Mgmt company and they got him to back down, and agreed to have me only deal with him in writing. (they have been aware of these things, just refusing to call me back.)
In June, we went back to the vet, and the obstruction in his throat had gotten biger and was probably a tumor, so we put the cat to sleep on June 17.
I paid the pet deposit. My old landlord told me that legally, they had to return the $300 to me once I no longer had pets.
What is the law and the time they have. I sent a letter to the PM company on June 18th, along with documentation.
Also, I need an attorney because I am thinking about filing a sexual harassment claim, QUID Pro Quo, a violation of my "quiet enjoyment" due to the harassment I have received since November 2008.
I spent $5000 to move in, with buying appliances, paint, deposits, and they keep making rules (now I have to water my grass and yards for the apartment and they know I am on disability.) But they are threatening to take my deposit for the grass and plants, when the PM company agreed to have thm water while I am diables (also provided proof)
Please help. My 6 year old is autistic and struggles with change. Its bad enough I have to move but it will have cost me my entire saving, I don't have the money, the cost to my child's emotional well -being. I feel like I was fradulently rented a unit, and then harassed. If I don't comply, they have said repeatedly they would evict me.
