Landlord not paying for promised services
My husband, my two small children and myself moved in to an apartment at the end of August. It was advertised as gated, water, sewage and garbage paid, cable paid, individual alarms in each unit, etc. (We came from out of state and basically rented it sight unseen) One month later we received a notice saying that we now had to pay for water, sewage, and garbage. The following month we got a notice that as of Dec 1st we have to pay for our own cable. After unloading our stuff and actually looking around, we saw that the gates on the "gated community" didn't even close and the box had been run over. (They still don't work to this day, but the box has been removed) And the alarms are through another company and working class people can't afford the service. The pictures showed nice new apartments with plush carpeting, We have carpet that is patched together with runs in it. The appliances aren't new like shown, they're at least 25 years old and have been "touched up" with paint because they are so banged up. They did replace the old stove (with one identical to it.) Is there anyway I can get out of my lease? I am NEVER renting off the internet again! Thank you.

Well this is easy, if you lease says that they pay all of them, they have to, you write them a letter telling them that they may change the terms after the lease expires but during lease they are bound by the terms. They can not change your lease after it is signed. |

I agree with Fr Chuck. Whatever they agreed to in the original terms of the lease is what they have to abide by. If they don't, you follow the proper procedure in your lease and state laws of notifying them of the problems and follow all the way through up to being able to break the lease. If they try to come after you - you have all the proof you need to win your case. If they don't return your deposit and/or reimburse you for the stuff they were supposed to pay for that YOU had to pay for you have an excellent case to sue them and recover damages. As far as the appearance of the apartment... you're just kind of stuck on that. BEFORE you signed the lease would have been the time to make complaints about that. And then if they don't resolve your concerns you DON'T SIGN the lease. |
