About 3 1/2 months ago I was bitten by something that evidently I was allergic to.  I first visited an emergency clinic then on to see my physician as I was getting no relief.  The places were spreading and itching like crazy.  I take medication for anxiety on a daily basis.  As you can imagine […]

I have several broken windows in my apartment, they were broken when we moved in.  We have shrink wrap over them, as to keep the air in/out and the bugs out.  We have a swamp cooler, which requires us to open one window in each room just a crack.  We can’t open a window in […]

Included in my lease agreement, the tenant was responsible for anything over 70 dollars for water.  During tenancy, I forgot to collect funds.  I deducted it from securty deposit.  Can I do this?

I have had to call the maintance out 15 times. They left a whole in my ceiling, from a leak upstairs, for over a week. They never fix anything completely and we have had mold on in here. Hey told us they would fix the walls with it and haven’t yet. There is still a […]
