Here are the details of our stay at our duplex:
1) The tiles in our bathroom's shower literally fell off the wall, and we were unable to use the shower. The shower was unuseable for over three months after numerous complaints. They finally fixed it after three months, but did not fix the mold problem behind the tiles. This is a major issue, as we have a four and a half month old. Now, the tiles are already falling away from the walls again.
2. We have made numerous complaints about the faucet (that leaks and has NO cold water) and it has gone unrepaired for over three months. It is creating mold underneath the sink, and we have NO cold water at that faucet. It is scolding hot water.
3. Our landlords did not have a partition in our attic, as we share an attic with our neighbors. Our neighbors broke into our garage on at least two different occasions (we made police reports) and even broke the door to our attic in half, as well as walked on our cars and somehow messed with my radiator.
4. One of the people living next door was in jail for a few months (his wife stayed living next door), and we were not informed that our neighbor was in jail, until after they moved, and detectives are calling us asking on his whereabouts because he is supposed to be in jail again. Police have also showed up to our house asking where he is. He actually only moved a couple of blocks away, as our landlord told us, and we still see them drive by our house frequently. They yelled profanities at us as they were moving out (our landlord witnessed this), and they left a profane note in our mailbox.
5. After our neighbors moved out, the property manager told us to our faces he was sorry for the huge ordeal with our neighbors, and that it was illegal to not have a partition in our garage (allowing them to break into our garage and mess with our cars) and told us we could move out for our safety with no repercussions whatsoever. Now, our actual landlord is saying we are lying about the property manager saying that, and that we cannot move out without paying for the rest of the lease.
FYI: I spoke with the landlord today about this issue, and she was the most unprofessional, rude person I have ever spoken to. She said exactly, "HOW IS THIS MY PROBLEM?" And said, "I AM JUST TALKING TO THE WIND HERE. YOUR SAFETY IS NOT MY ISSUE; YOUR PROBLEMS ARE NOT MY ISSUE."
*NOW ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, A WATER PIPE BROKE UNDER OUR FLOORING IN THE BATHROOM, AND SHE SAID EXACTLY THIS, "BETTER GET A FEW GLASSES OF WATER BECAUSE THE WATER IS BEING TURNED OFF NOW. " WHEN WE ASKED HOW LONG THE WATER WOULD BE TURNED OFF FOR, SHE SAID, "I DON'T KNOW!" THEN, SHE RUDELY ASKED FOR OUR TOOLS, AND YELLED AT US WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TOOLS TO REPAIR THE WATER PROBLEM.
We are concerned for our health, our safety, the mold, the issue of our supposed to be imprisoned previous neighbors breaking into our house again, not having water, and where to stay !!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP...IF I CONTACT AN ATTORNEY, CAN I GET ANYTHING DONE, OR IS IT POINTLESS??? THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
