landlord lied to get me to rent

By Sandy

hello

i have been living in rented house for two months.  when i originally inquired about the house i noticed some writing on the bedroom wall that was not completly covered when  owner repainted it was gang grafitti  i asked the  landlord specifically if the house had been abondaned or had unsavory renters.   her response was that there used to be teenagers who lived here and they always had great renters in the paast   however my neighbors and even the police who stopped by two times to welcome me and to tell me that they were often at my house in the past to arrest people  i do not feel safe in my house now and fear for my young childrens safety  is what she did illegal?.  she lied toget me into the house?

That’s kinda like false advertising, right? I’m not quite sure about it. Why not file a complaint then? If she did lied to you about, you might be compensated and the landlord could get a bad record, fits her right if she did lie to you about it.

I rented an apt. in a brand new complex. I specifically asked the landlord if the property was section 8. She looked a little offended and said Absolutely NOT! After a short time, we found out it is Section 8 and I was never given the option to not rent because she lied to me. She did the same toother residents. Is this legal and if not, what can we do?
