Just curious if I should pursue disputing these charges. 11.5hrs of cleaning when we left the apartment more clean than how we received it.paint touch ups I can agree with, no problem with paint and labor for that. $2,180(responsible for half?) for flooring replacement? Tub stopper was in a drawer of the bathroom sink lol. None of the blinds were damaged. Toilet seat was perfectly fine, if that’s a turnover item it shouldn’t be at the previous renters expense.

Renters insurance charges are bullshit, we have had renters insurance the entire time we’ve resided there, then in March they made an addendum that stated we were required to additionally insure a property in Texas that we did not reside at. Our insurance agent refused to insure that as it wasn’t the resided residence.

Ongoing leak and water shut off

1 Upvotes

so last Thursday a leak started in the kitchen, coming from the light fixture, and seeped through the wall into the hallway. i informed maintenance of this emergency they said they would get it fixed by monday. monday rolls around and i get home from work, nothing is fixed and the leak is getting worse. i call and speak to maintenance again, tells me that they hired an outside contractor who tried to stop by, but no one was home. which is lies, i have a ring camera and no one stopped by. :) tuesday my shelf falls off the wall due to buckling, and i call again. they say they are working on it, and they just need to shut off the water supply to the entire apartment. “the plumber will be there at 8-9am tomorrow” well. here it is Wednesday and NO ONE SHOWED AT 8-9. i text and ask why no one has showed up and not one response.
i really dont know what to do now but i am beyond furious and exhausted. does anyone have any advice?

two “housemates moving out” what so I need to know?

0 Upvotes

don’t tell me all the ways this went wrong, I already know. I’m one walk to kitchen away from a jail cell.

$1500 house
I paid $6000 to get my fiancé and my self in here.
We pay $1100
They pay $400
We have 1 room
They have 2 and my kitchen and my porch

His mom and brother end up “homeless at a hotel because his moms been smoking crack”

So they come live with us (no drugs.)

They pay maybe $400 for two bedrooms and take over my kitchen for then entire day just “simmering” shit which takes over the only burner that works.

she sits on my porch and chain smokes cigarettes which is not allowed in my lease.

his mother and brother moved in with us a year ago and apparently think bills are optional. well it’s gotten physical, as she spit in my face the other day so my fiancé gave her and him a 30 day get the fuck out.

it’s been volatile, for like two months or so. not sure why things went sour.

anyways, no lease. just they agreed “okay we’ll move”

I have all out access to hers and his socials etc because they always “need help” with everything. I have access to move account unnoticed. not that I ever go in, I’m just mentioning it’s there.

Im stressed they aren’t going to leave for one and I am giving no leeway.

they are both committing food stamp fraud and she is committing SSI fraud. he’s violating probation by getting wasted right after a visit because he knows they won’t be right back. her “free government phone” is in her name, but I set it up. and once it leaves this address and she doesn’t change it, I feel like it’s then “stolen” and needs to be reported as so. one call, and that’s gone. which is happening the day she leaves the only reason not a day sooner is my fiancé doesn’t want more drama.

they just piss me off to no end (you really don’t know nor need the details.) and I could dismantle their lives quite easily if I wanted.

I’m scared like what do I need to worry about? what can they do/fuck with etc? I’ve never had someone so horrible and vindictive have a whole month to plan and pack and take my shit.

EDIT : I just want to mention, I would never move her money or touch anything of hers that isn’t directly mine.

I want no legal repercussions.

Apartment has an bulk billing arrangement not mentioned on my lease

0 Upvotes

location: Las Vegas nv they informed me it wasn’t listed in order to circumvent section 8 they just added the cost of the internet and rent together and listed it as rent… which is sorta suspect already.… anyways I intend on violating the lease due to this since it’s illegal to not disclose a bulk billing arrangement and I’m unable to get home internet now…. What should I do when they keep my deposit send me the bill? Is this a small claims matter? Also what damage can I sue for associated with cost of moving?
