Well things just blew up
3 years ago
Hey all, it seems that life wants to again be a brick wall i need to beat my head against.
I woke to a message from my in law, who is also the person we rent from, announcing and I quote "The rent will be going up, you will have to sign a lease because I am not getting the rental value of the house"
To make a long story short, we have been reporting issues with the home and voicing concerns for the past month. As during a storm we found leaks in the ceiling in very concerning areas. They did not want to listen to us, until a roommate spoke up. It took them more then a week for the leaks to get patched up and so far nothing has leaked. The problem now comes that where the leaks where found the roof is slowly falling down. We told them we all needed to talk to them and we were met with harassments, threats and non compliance to listen to us telling them what was happening.
So come a month later with the text of the quote above, my response? I will not be paying or signing anything and they know exactly as to the issues that have not been resolved.
They didn't seem to care and just said and I quote "Ok then I guess you will be moving out"
So here lies what is going to happen, there is no way we can stay anywhere without support at this time. I have poured ever cent I had to catch up on rent from being nearly killed by covid. My fiance unable to work because of injury for some time. The only place we can remotely be able to try getting our barrings once more is moving 3000 miles away.
I have not even been able to recover from the trauma of what happened to me from all of this and now this like how have we let society be about money and greed so far that no one feels they can trust anyone and then when you do, things like this happen? We did a favor to help and when we where no longer able to this is the outcome.
I dont know what im going to do but now I need to find out what little money i have left so we can make it through the month and still have money to drive away.
I'm venting I know I am but I'm sorry, I woke up from my coma so that I could start a better life, not to keep being pulled into the same hell. We need help and I know we will get it from my family but I just don't know if it is going to be enough.
Love each other all, love you guys

Have you spoke to the state building inspector because they can make them fix it also with that take them to court to get some of you money back it would do you good to look up renting laws in you area

Depending on how adversarial you want to get, check to see if your state has a tenant advocacy or aid group. Depending on the nature of the issues, you *could* be in your legal rights to withhold rent & even be housed elsewhere at landlord’s expense. However, it’s dependent on local laws and the specific issues in question.

OP
we are in our legal rights to do so, as they did not fix the issues with in 7days

Sounds like you need to exercise all of your legal avenues, they are forcing you to.

OP
they might try it, but i gave this to them in writing of what is causing the issue and concern and what the outcome will be. by law i have to give them notice of why.

What a mess…. I hope whatever happens, it works out. Seems like a few people are rooting for you to take legal action, but just be careful with that. Lawyers are expensive.
