I did some minor damage to my apartment, which I fully intend to pay for. According to my lease a tenant either has the damage repaired or the apartment complex repairs it & the tenant pays them. I’ve arranged for a reliable handyman to repair the damage. Now, in talking with the apartment manager, I’ve been advised I should have notified them before contacting a handyman, even if I plan to repair the damage. When I look at my lease (and I did that before calling the handyman), I don’t read it that way. I read it that I’m to contact the apartment manager if I can’t or won’t repair the damage. I’m on a month to month arrangement and the manager wants to give me 30 days notice to vacate. I’ve been in the apt 10 years, always paid on time, and have had no other problems. What do I say to managers at other apartment places when I tell them why I’m looking?. I shouldn’t lie about why I’m leaving. I would prefer to be up front with prospective landlords and/or apartment management companies and not wait to see if my current apartment manager tells them.

I let her live in my apartment for 4 days but when she cameback home the repairs are still on &even rats were coming out . she wants to go to a hotel because of the living conditions until they finish the repairs . and also wants a inspector to check the bilding because it its dangerous for other families with babies and children living there.

Then doesn’t the person in that apartment have every right to break the lease and leave it not being in liveable conditions? My boss did this and now the apartment people called the collection agency, but seriously if it was about 100 degrees(texas) without a/c and that being an excuse, doesn’t the tenant have every right to leave? If not,what can be done of this? And what is it called if it is against the law

The Building Association says that I have to pay 50% and the Association pays the other 50% to repair his leak as the leak is affecting me, not him. I say that he has to pay 50% and the Association the other 50% to repair the leak as it is a problem on his property that is damaging my ceiling.

Our landlord allows us to use the bathroom in her apartment, if that affects anything.

I live in Washington state.

My lovely cat has used the door frames of my apartment as scratching posts; I have to repair the damage without replacing the door frames and was wondering what could be done. I am not entirely sure that merely painting over the damage will do the trick since they are rather deep scratches.

Thank you all in advance!!

I moved in to an apartment and the screens have slits and holes as big as fists in them. Is there any way I can repair that or will I just have to buy new screens?

Me and my wife just got married and are now living in an apartment where the apartment manager hires people with criminal records to do repairs. He wants us to be at home all the time when repairs get done and we can’t be there all the time. But that is just one complaint, we have now been living here for two weeks and no appliances work, no washer/dryer, stove, and dish washer which were promised to us weeks ago and manager said he will fix it all before we even moved in and keeps holding it off even further. We haven’t paid rent thus far but have put down our deposit of $300, we have called him several times and still get little or no help. Is this grounds for breaking a lease and also for a court action if leasor doesn’t obide by the terms of lease in which they do repairs and maintenance? What are my legal rights under Texas Law and how can I get something done? I feel that my landlord is being very cheap on us and hiring unprofessional people to do repairs. What can I do?
