In the state of Connecticut is my landlord required to provide screens on the windows? We have requested this from our landlord and his response is that we are in a house from the 1950s. I do not see why that is relevant. By law does he have to provide screens?
From the beginning our landlord has been deceptive; for example, when we rented we were told we had exclusive use of the backyard and small deck. In addition, we were told that there was central air and heat. When we attempted to access the backyard we were informed that he was "renovating it" and needed […]
If only I had found this out sooner… As crazy as it may sound, my better half and I have mentally, physically, and financially suffered for over a year living with bed bugs. When we first discovered them we informed the management and the owner, because the managers have limited control, we spoke directly to […]

I’ve been living in my current apartment since 12/2011. Back in April and May my electric bill shot up from under $60 (all estimated Dec. to March) a month to just under $200 two months in a row. After opening the first bill for $192 (actual reading) my fiance and I began frantically investigating our […]
My Landlord broke 2-Missouri laws. 1. He sent the "Itemized list" late by 2 days(32 days) and only because I called to ask where it was. 2. We were now offered to be there during the inspection(also MO law). We did do about $200 worth of damage to the apartment but not the $600 deposit […]
