Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

subletter trashed my apartment. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 2 years. My monthly rent is $3,253. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Of course the details matter a lot here.

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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

So this is more common than people think.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
