Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
eviction notice for no reason. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been renting for 5 years. My monthly rent is $906. I have a written lease.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the implied warranty of habitability, uninhabitable.
Before taking legal action apparently, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Most folks screw this up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
Classic scenario honestly.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run 🤷.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
