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

real estate agent dual agency conflict. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 5 years. My monthly rent is $1,792. I have a written lease.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. 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.

I've dealt with this before.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under state landlord-tenant code. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct in violation of notice requirements.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
