I'm dealing with a situation in Massachusetts and need some guidance.
noise complaint retaliation by landlord. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been in this property for 4 years. My monthly rent is $3,317. I have a written lease.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
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've dealt with this before.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Security deposit disputes are often worth pursuing even for small amounts because many states award 2-3x the deposit as penalties if the landlord acted in bad faith. Plus attorney's fees in some states.
