Hi All,
First of all i want to say sorry for dont writing in perfect english, because i am german.
I have serious Problems with the house i am currently renting in summerville.
It is 4 yrs old.
when i moved in, everything looked good. not perfect, but ok.
the longer i lived in there, the more problems i found.
(i need to say that the tenants that were in before i moved in had 3 or 4 dogs)
i dont want to bother you with all the minor things that are bad in this house.
but the major things are:
a few days after i moved in, i recognized that there are dead crawlers and worms and even a dead dried out frog in some corners of the house. the crawlers probably came out from under the carpet or so.
i did let the company who manages this house know whats in here and they sent me the pest control to my house to spray everything.
we didnt have problems the couple days after it. but we found crawlers and worms again. we talked to the company about it and nothing happened.
the worst thing is that since its colder outside we found 4 or 5 toxic centipedes (red and black). one of them was in my bed last night and bit me!
i am happy that it bit me and not my 16 month old daughter.
WE ARE DISGUSTED!!!
The other thing is, that there doesnt come heat in the master bedroom. we gave the company notice about both major problems and the lot of minor problems but nothing happened till now.
today i talked to two people (one of them is a german realtor) and they told me, that i have the right to move out of this property, because to live in a rental property with all the insects is not reasonable.
but i wanted to be nice and asked the company to move in a different house and keep be their customer, because of the reasons.
they said: NO! U HAVE TO STAY THERE! U SIGNED A 12MONTH CONTRACT.
the problem is that i didnt give them written notice about that. i only went to their office and we talked about it 2 weeks ago when i paid my rent. they promised me to fix everything but they did nothing.
my wife is my witness in this case. is this enough?
the german realtor said, that i should go to the "board of realtors" and tell them the whole story.
you should have heard how the property manager lady talked to us.
things like "do what you want u will not win", "you will pay, no chance for you HAHA" and some personal verbal offence.
what should i do?
i dont want to live there anymore?
what is the worst thing that can happen when i move out without their permission?
PLEASE HELP!
