I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

seller hid foundation problems. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $953. 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've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was filing with teh appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I've dealt with this before.

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

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
