  • Me and my boyfriend got an apartment together; it was $50 more than he wanted to pay. I said I would pay the $50 extra for every month that the apartment cost up front. I gave him $300 up front and told him if we were still together after 6 months I would give him the next 6 months in advance. He kicked me out but won't give me my money back. He says that I'm extorting him for money that belongs to him. I only lived there for one week, paid 1/2 of everything to move in, $25 app fee, $100 deposit, $240 which was half of the first months rent. I am just asking for the $300 back. He says it his & me asking for it back & making him pay it back is extortion. What are my rights?
  • I live at XXXX apartments and since Friday before 5 pm the apartment building I live in doesn't have running hot water and maintenance to us to wait until monday then Saturday morning we called back they said corporate was working on it and still no hot water and from my understanding they have 24 hours to fix this problem. Most of the tents are essential workers that work weekends and holidays and need to shower for work for example I work at a hospital I need to shower before and after because I dont want to expose my family and baby we pay rent even when theres a crisis world wide.
  • My friend just started dating someone who has to attend anger management courses because his ex accused him of domestic violence.

  • A room in our home was rented on a month-to-month basis. The 1st month was a trial period to see if they were a good "fit." The man intimidated a disabled female in the home and verbally assaulted her the following day (at which time they were given 10 days to vacate), they were caught smoking marijuana in the home (given a verbal warning), their dog bit someone (didn't break skin just bruising and swelling), caught smoking a second time - told to leave immediately and made threats of imminent harm. Have not returned to claim possessions as agreed and claim we owe them money. What do I do?
