I moved into my apartment in May 2010 and signed a year lease.  A couple weeks after moving in I noticed many spiders (mainly in the shower and bedrooms) and contacted the manager.  She then had them spray the entire building a few days later.  A couple weeks after they had sprayed I saw some [...]

my roommate moved in with me and verbally agreed to pay rent but never did, can I press charges?
She lived with me for about two months, and never got a job, but was always home, so my electric bill skyrocketed. would my claim hold up, if i have proof via a facebook message that says [...]

Okay so me and my husband rented these apartments from our ex-landlords and at first it seemed like they were really nice people would make sure everything was fixed and all of that, but after about three months I started to notice that maybe we should have waited to see if we could have gotten [...]

Our lease is up at the end of this month and we’re in the process of moving, but we just found out that one of our landlords has let people inside our apartment at least 3 times in the last week or so without giving us notice of any kind. The lease clearly states that 24 hours notice [...]

Revenge of the Renter!
Finally I got my landlord to face the music!   First of all, I’m a good renter.  I pay on-time, I’m friendly, and very particular about cleanliness.  So after moving out of my rental complex I expected to get my full $350 rent deposit back, but low and behold this big management company thought [...]

Our community fees have doubled in the 3 years that we have been renting at Cottonwood Terrace Apartments in Colorado Springs.

Hi I need some advice! My roommate and I have been residing in our current apartment since last April. We are both working professionals, quiet, pay our rent on time, respectful, and are very clean.
