Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

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

I have been in this property for 2 years. My monthly rent is $3,789. I have a written lease.

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

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

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

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

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

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably state landlord-tenant code, which requires showing in violation of notice requirements.

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

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.

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
