I have so many UNBELIEVABLE complaints regarding my landlord that I don’t know where to begin! Unfortunately, I’m on my way out the door and I don’t have the time needed to properly express the manitude of this property owner’s all out effort to avoid spending a dime for the maintenance and upkeep of [...]

So my previous landlady and I had scheduled a walk through for the townhome I was renting. When I got there, she hadn’t brought any paperwork (we had a legal "move-in" and "move-out" document with check boxes for stuff that’s wrong or needs addressing, etc) and was completely off topic the entire time. When I [...]

My air conditioner is on the fritz.  It works in that it blows cold air, but it no longer works well.  It sucks down the kilowatts to cool this place to a bearable 80F, but to cool it down to a comfortable temperature (74-76) it would run up a $1200 electric bill for 1000 square [...]
