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

Airbnb damage claim vs security deposit. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 2 years. My monthly rent is $840. I have a written lease.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the implied warranty of habitability, which requires showing uninhabitable.

Might be worth talking to a local attorney about this.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What trips people up most is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Dealt with this exact thing last year.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
