What are my rights?

What are my rights?

NY Uncategorized

I am about to sign a lease in a bldg. where an apt. is being treated for bedbugs.  I asked my broker to find out if the landlord has or is going to inspect the adjacent apts.
I have learned this is critical in the process of getting rid of the bugs.  The landlord is NOT going to have the adjacent apts. inspected.  Is he required to by law?

Here’s my advice:

DON’T MOVE IN!!! If the place has had a known problem with bed bugs, then why would you ever want to move in? There is no law that requires the landlord to inspect the property for you. This kind of thing would fall under renter due diligence. There are ways to detect bed bugs. But seriously, just look around this forum and you will find tons of people that have had bed bugs, its not fun. Avoid it at all cost. Bed bugs are very hard to get rid of in apartment buildings. So, if they had them in the past, they are probably still there.

Don’t take this lightly. Before you sign a lease in a building that has had bed bugs– thoroughly inspect. (best is to find another place)

What are my rights

CO Uncategorized

I have lived in this place for 8 months. My landlord is a jerk i’m a single female and he loves to intimidate me. First of all I have not had cold water since I moved in here and now the hot water stays hot for maybe 5 minutes when your in the shower he accused me of having a leak but I told him there is no leak and he can come in and check of course the hot water heater is not in my unit. Second of all I live in CO where we get snow. He has some person come over and shovel the walks basically he pushes any snow he can without much effort off and the rest stays on the sidewalks and then turn to ice which makes walking extremely challenging. Forget touching the parking lot not eve a little. This is a small complex only 10 units. I also found out we have a fellon living here can’t find out what the charges are but he is registered on the website. I want to know what my options are and what I can do. I can’t approach him with out being berated and threatend with eviction. He doe
 sn’t live on sight and complains if you call him at home if there is a problem. Thank you.
