I’ve been living in a duplex built in the early 1900’s for the past 6 years. I’ve known our wiring is old. I can’t even have an air conditioner window unit because the wiring won’t support it. In the summer, I regularly blow a circuit and the breaker takes overnight to recover and cool down. […]
Hello, I saw one or two begbugs in my apartment sometime ago and used the sprays from walmart to kill it and never saw bedbugs after that.

Hi, I’ve just rented a place on Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA, but I haven’t moved in yet, or been approved by the board yet. If I move into an apartment and it is infested with bed bugs, who is responsible for the extermination and hotel fees? In New York the land lord is 100% […]

Landlord said driveway was shared, nothing about the tenants who live downstairs involves a shared driveway. They park right at the end of it even blocking the sidewalk sometimes.

I’ve lived in the same apartment in the same complex for 14+ years now with my mother, beginning when I was a young child (about 12)… I never knew how horrible this place was – but now I’m really starting to see the big picture. They’ve never once updated or renovated our apartment, no matter […]
