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

neighbor's tree damaging my property. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 1 years. My monthly rent is $2,479. I have a written lease.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Every situation is different so YMMV.

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

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

Idk but been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 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.

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