Ok, I have lived at my current apartment for 14 months. Signed another lease in August 2011. Had no issues with any neighbors. Turns out I get a set of neighbors that would fit well on Jerry Springer’s show. I’ve had to call cops the numerous times due to loud music, arguments, harassment, etc. The […]

We have had problems with our sewage system since April 2012.  We have repeatedly asked the landlord to fix the issue and have had several different plumbers come out and snake the line, however, they have ALL said that the line out is not only the wrong type of material, but it is collapsing in […]

Hello, For the past few months, We’ve been having an issue with “Nats” and “Flea Invested” and quite possibly “Bed Bugs”. The Nats are found everywhere, but main source is the kitchen and it’s either from the “Dish Washer” which we’ve never used since we moved in Nov. 2011 or it’s the sink. There was […]

So in short, I have a live-in landlord.  She has been harassing me, threatening me and my cat, and has not followed through with her agreements for repairs of my toilet, windows, or blinds.  She has also failed to furnish a key.  In response to her failures, I filed a report with the RPA.  Upon […]
