I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

seller hid foundation problems. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 7 years. My monthly rent is $3,851. We are on a month-to-month now.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

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

A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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 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.

This is one of those situations where even a quick legal consult pays for itself.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
