Oh yes they had them first. The tenant on the first floor got a mattress from someone, after putting it in his unit he discovered it was infested. He called the Landlady, and orkin they inspected the place and she had it treated by another pest company. But my unit has never been treated by professionals. She has wanted to do it herself with no success. I feel she knew of them and failed to treat them properly in the beginning causing a spread to other units. That's when the spread to my unit, I let her try to treat them but she kept failing and they just came back. That's when I said enough.
I have a nice apartment and didn't want to move. But enough is enough
Now she called me today wanting to show my apartment even before I am out. Her being cheap has cost me. How do I get the judge to see that because of her negligence I have had to live in hell for the past 3 months.
It's going to keep coming back and climbing into your apartment through the wall sockets. The building needs a huge tent placed over it and be fumigated several times to really ensure its gone.
Sad part is, what runs from the fumigation will go to the next apartment complex and back to your place once the summer comes around again.
What happened to OP, deesw8? Did kingsrun23 assume his or her position in this thread? I have become confused. Who's on first?
As to the hijacker, lol, jk, if you had a court case in early Dec, there is a clear record of the judge's order. You can take that to the bank x 3. As to your other real or imagined claims, you have payment receipts and photos. Always sue for more than you expect to get. Then you have things you can negotiate away to get what you really want, the deposit x 3. If you can do a better job than your LL presenting your case/defense, you could very well win more of a judgment. Most likely the judge will pull the rug out from under you on your frivolous claims, if they are in fact frivolous. On the other hand, you clowns may be allowed to dig your own grave and the judge will rule based on the evidence, unless objected to and sustained.
Check your lease for a prevailing party clause and a clause related to recovery of costs and attorney's fees. If your case is solid, you can get your pound of flesh by making the LL pay for your lawyer, who will eat her up if she doesn't employ her own lawyer. When reality settles in, she will come looking to settle. Be careful about taking any money from her if it is less than you want to end up with. If she gives you your deposit, and you accept it, that could be deemed a settlement, in the absence of a written agreement stating otherwise.
I don't understand how slum lords keep getting away with swindling tenants. Why isn't someone regulating the housing industry so this nonsense stops?
