Are you going to post this a third time, until you get an answer you like?

Please stop.
Frivolous lawsuits and nonsense such as this is why things are so expensive.

You had an apartment and you lived downstairs from someone who was never there on nights and weekends? That's called paradise. All you had to do was ask them to turn the ringer off on the phone and fax machine at night.


No late night fights upstairs, no pouncing around when you're trying to sleep, no heels on wood floors upstairs. What's the problem?

We were showed the main level 2 bed 1 bath and yard and a basement.... but there was a separate entrance to an upstairs from the outside, separate locked door .We never saw the inside. They told us casually that they used the upstairs here and there as an office for the husband as he worked in investing/ banking for ameriprise . Sounded like a guy who comes here and there to use a laptop... We signed the legal one year lease and gave a very large security deposit down (2 full months rent) due to our credit being low and a month's rent to realtor as a commission. After living there only a very short time we realized that the landlord had a full time employee working for him 5 days a week from 8-6 in the separate entrance and parked in our driveway until we asked them to park on street and then parked the employee car in front of our house all day everyday and the landlord came everyday as well. We heard them walking back and forth all day and heard the phones / faxes plus on weekend when people left messages because they were not there.
I have over 40 pics over the year of the cars parked. We did not investigate if the rental legal b/c we did not want to get kicked out and so we found a new place to live when it finished but now I see it up for rent again and I called and its still not in permit system...I want to go after my realtor fee and back rent...anyone have suggestions for me ...never was late or missed one rent check either

Your credit is bad for a reason.

It's pretty obvious that you are a douchebag.

Most lawyers would agree.
