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

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 1 years. My monthly rent is $963. We are on a month-to-month now.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, state landlord-tenant code. Your state may provide additional protections.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
