I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
HOA fining me for political sign. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been in this property for 6 years. My monthly rent is $3,606. I have a written lease.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
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.
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied warranty of habitability. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct uninhabitable.
Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
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 ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
