Renting from what seems to be a slumlord, can I get retribution?

Helios | Wednesday, February 6th, 2013 2:58 pm

I’m paying 650 a month for a split-studio in a divided-up house near the University. While that’s somewhat everage, and it’s a nice apt (wood floors, high ceilings) in a cool old victorian house, this house is starting to show some serious problems. The house has kindof been repaired in cheap fashion, there are problems […]

I have been living in my Massachusetts apartment and paying $800 per month for rent under the initial lease signed in June 2009.

I moved into this really cute little duplex rental in the beginning of this year, and after a month or two we started to notice that there is a wiring problem in the 30 year old home.  After contacting the landlord several times by phone, and him coming in to tell us that he can […]

No Quality Living when Renting a House for Sale

Tenant | Wednesday, February 6th, 2013 1:36 am

Okay. You might say that this really one of the worst decisions ever but 6 months ago, we signed a lease agreement with a real estate company. We were told that there will be showings but they will be very minimal so as not to disrupt with our living. We were okay with it since […]

Evicting a tenant who lied about bedbug infestation

admin | Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 10:56 pm

We have a tenant (on retirement) (let’s call him George) who 2 years ago lied about the bed bug infestation in his apartment and even screamed and refused to allow the exterminator we hired then to fix the problem. The exterminator did his part with the other apartments and we thought we took care of […]

Do Landlords Really Look Into my Background?

Tenant | Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 9:27 pm

As part of Fair Housing, most landlords would do background checks but the degree would depend on their discretion. From a landlord’s point of you, they want to make sure that they are only renting to the best tenants around. This process of screening would also be beneficial to the community because somebody who passes […]

Can I not pay rent and get away with it?

Tenant | Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 7:17 pm

Have you ever been tempted not to pay rent? I mean, it takes quite a chunk off your monthly salary – money that you could have spent on something else. However tempting it may be, you know it’s not right, all the time. Even if all hell has broken loose with your landlord, you just […]
