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

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $1,294. I have a written lease.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably your state's security deposit statute, which requires showing properly documented.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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