Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Marguerite, I'm sorry to hear about your apartment troubles. If you pay for the damage (are you sure that you caused it?), can you stay put? If you have to leave, I don't think the landlord can make you pay for the damage, but can keep the security deposit if you are found to be at fault and the cost to repair it equals or exceeds the amount of your deposit. You may want to talk to an landlord/tenant attorney, the kind that works for tenants rights. Hang in there Marguerite... Aloha, myrtle > > HI ALL,,,I have pretty much been informed that I am facing eviction, I never heard something like that never before in my life and now I am DONE>>> > > Because,,,,my neighbor underneath my apartment complaint about leaks in her ceiling, now they sent someone to investigate and determined it was me that caused all of that in addition to water, they say it is the chemicals that caused not only the ceiling damage below but also the walls and I must PAY AND or move out, > I was forthcoming even told the mite story of mine to no fault of my own and with no recourse in sight due to my pigeon infested roof post ceiling/roof collapse , not sure if that was wise on my part for sure I sent waves of panics > I do feel lousier about hurting someone else then my own miserable hell I have been living with for one year and feel this mitemare escalates way further then I could have imagined. > > Yes, I thought I was careful enough, not leaving any water puddles, had dehum running and all. they also thought my walls 'had it'......said I already had it appraised for repainting, also replacing the eroded drain hardware. > > Right now I am crushed to have heard the E word, I see myself finding a nook on the curb to hang out on, thinking that even living anywhere is a pain of damaging someones 'structure' in addition to feeling miserable heading 'home' each day as there is no such thing really anymore with such a leper existence. I postpone sleeping as long as possible for a year now, it is endless and futile at times or so it seems.. > Sorry , this post is not the upbeat one from last night, thanks for the kind comment anyhow.. > > My mind is churning for solutions..... > > M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
