Any lawyers on CP
 

Especially ones that deal with shitty property management companies?

Could one pm me if they have a little bit of time.

I'm a shitty property manager. Can I be of assistance. If you let the place get infested with Bed Bugs and Roaches thats on you!

This is the internet we're all lawyers

Thought so

Basically i feel like my apartment complex isnt holding up their end of the lease, especially when it comes to a specific clause. I want to move, and move ASAP. But we still have 6 months left on our lease.

ROFL. Awesome.

There is an entire thread full of legal experts on page one...

D'oh

Ive never noticed it

Where did the landlord touch you?

What clause are they violating? And have you informed them and given them warning to correct the problem?

Just ****ing move. thats what my shithead tenants do to me. I used to take them to court and get a judgement . Still never got a dime. Now I say **** it and just clean the place up and rent it back out to the next shithead tenant.

I think we see the common denominator here

If it is a mom and pop owner, this is probably safe. If its acorporation they might get a judgment and ding your credit/ litigation history....

I pm'd you

I'm not a shithead tenant, i just don't want to f my credit up because i'm saving to buy a house.

It's an out of state property management company

no, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night

just let them have the copper, replace it with pvc pipe

I think if you do what I said in the PM your credit will be safe or at least you'll be able to justify the ding to any potential lender.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

If its a big company they might have a procedure where they just automatically sue you , without regard to common sense or math.


Its a little easier dealing with a local mom and pop...


Another question is:


Is this a big enough issue where 6 more months is worth even going through these possibilities.....?

I'm to the point where every time i sign a check to these people i almost stroke out with anger. 6 months isn't that long of a time i know, but if i can find an out to move, i want to take it.

that sucks, man


I hope you get out of there soon. Sounds like they are pretty lame....

Property management companies are quite scummy. Sometimes if you can contact the actual owner - they'll even be more reasonable. Property management companies many times will just stifle you and do everything they can to not listen to what you have to say.

UChieffyBugger is a lawyer. But he only deals with deformation of character cases.

He is also a britoutstanding citizen and that island should be nuked.

Wait what? They filtered c uck on here?!

You need to point out all the flaws and document it all and have a lawyer that can handle tenant law form up a legal letter and send it certified mail.

If its on a lawyers letterhead you'll get your shit resolved. If not, you need to give ample notice that you're breaking your lease early because of reasons x,y,z and make it clear that any sort of legal action will be countered with legal action on your end.

When you leave that apartment, shoot a video documenting every single inch of the apartment so they don't try to claim you trashed it.

Sound advice. Thank you very much.

I am an attorney and manage some property here in Massachusetts. I am not familiar with Kansas law, but some things are the same. Not sure if I could help you.

This could be a whole new thread. :evil:

Perhaps walk around outside in your skivvies muttering incoherently, loud enough for people to hear you?

Go to the local pet store and buy a gallon of live cockroaches and cut them loose? The possibilities are endless. :D

I've worked for several shitty property management companies, and while I'm not sure what your issue is, if it's with on site management and you have not yet contacted the corporate office regarding it, you need to do so immediately. Corporate doesn't like to hear from residents and generally will do whatever they need to do to keep from hearing from you again, even if the issue is your fault.

PM Frazod.

Invite Kareem Hunt to be your house guest for an extended stay. You'll be out before you know it.

I'm not but let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.

Fixed:D

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

He'd just tell me to shoot em

You don’t need a lawyer.
You need to quit renting and paying someone else’s mortgage and start paying your own.

I mean it’s good advice. It solves the problem.
