I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

noise complaint retaliation by landlord. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 7 years. My monthly rent is $1,136. I have a written lease.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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.

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

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the implied warranty of habitability. Your state may provide additional protections.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
