How should i handle this? |
ok my problem is i rent a townhouse and my landlord hired some fly by night contractor to replace my airunit anyway he also replaced the breaker box in the process he pulled my electric company's power the electric company found out and shut my electric off until 900.00 was paid well of course i do not have it anyway 375.00 is owed to the elelctric company for a deposit which i have to pay now because my electric was shut off, my landlord paid the tampering fee, but acted like he had nothing to do with the whole situation,anyway should i contact a lawyer or just let it go remember i am renting and it is not like i have a say so on who the landlord brings in to work things..thank you melissa I'm pretty sure your landlord is responsible for all of it. Your landlord can't bring a contractor in that screws things up and expect the renters to pay for it. If he hired a idiot he should just eat it. Your landlord should sue the contraactor who did the damage - though it sounds like the contractor was probably not legit. Personally I would get the heck out of there and find another place to live. There's no way I would pay someone else's bill for damage. Visit your lawyer. your landlord needs to pay the whole bill and then sue the contractor. after all it was the contractors fault that your electric was shut off not yours, and you didnt hire the guy, your landlord did. id talk to a lawyer it sounds like ur land lord is trying to pull a fast one on u |
