Looking for advice on a legal issue in Massachusetts. Here's what happened.
real estate agent dual agency conflict. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been in this property for 7 years. My monthly rent is $919. I have a written lease.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the implied warranty of habitability, uninhabitable.
I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
I've seen this play out several times in my field.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
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.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
