Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
foreclosure after modification denied. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been in this property for 1 years. My monthly rent is $1,761. I have a written lease.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied warranty of habitability. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct uninhabitable.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
