Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

seller hid foundation problems. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $2,586. We are on a month-to-month now.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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 practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, state landlord-tenant code. Your state may provide additional protections.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
