I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
foreclosure after modification denied. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been renting for 6 years. My monthly rent is $3,751. We are on a month-to-month now.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have state landlord-tenant code years for this type of claim.
Before taking legal action, 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.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
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.
