Okay so I am renting an apartment... can a landlord legally? |
Legally can a landlord just make up prices as they go along? This apartment complex has over 70 units and was recently sold to some ghetto (and yes they are very ghetto) people who keep making up prices as they go along. I lost my mailbox key and they are trying to charge me 10 dollars for a new one. I have lived here two years and had lost it one time before, it cost 3 dollars to get a new one. They also don't have an on site manager and refuse to open the pool except for the 5 hours a day they are actually down there. When they do open the pool their kids and nephews are in the pool horseplaying. I do not feel it's a safe environment for my children. Today I just asked if I could borrow the key and she said "It's 10 dollars" and I said "I just want to borrow it for a couple of minutes" and she says "No, it's not borrowing it, it's asking for it." Lol.. I'm so mad right now I'm ready to move. They are not supposed to but they do whatever they want their attitude is move, we'll find a new tenant who will put up with our b.s. If ghetto people are now the new owners, you need to move cuz it will only get worse. I have lived in some nice places but some total dumps too. Ask around, ask your coworkers etc how they fell about where they rent if they do. My mailbox key was $75 if I lost it! Thank god I never did! no, it has to be in the lease or in writing, i,d move out, sounds like a drag, good luck! personal experience Move. New owners can make whatever rules they want, and it sounds like a no-win situation. There should be some rules about non-residents using the pool, but of course, they would say that "it doesn't apply to the owners". Time to move on. um thats ridiculous, their jerks, first of all just because the own the complex doesnt mean they live there! so having their kids siwim there and disturb the tenants is no only professional but down right rule. i would ask them to have an itemized list for the maitenance replacements. if u want a new mail box key ask to borrow it an make ur own copy bc it costs 1.50 to make a new key. these peopel are real trash. i cant imagine dealing with them. move away from this distater, they obvioulsy dont value the tenants over their own greediness. . Yes. Landlords know how to write contracts to cover their azz. THEY are the Pros! They're not in business to make you comfortable; they're just trying to make as much $$ as possible. Next time, can you have a private locksmith make 2 keys? And if the pool is important, move out. . Each state is different but I would think if you haven't signed a new lease with the new owners then your old lease is still in affect and they have to abide by that or if they are going to make changes they need to notify the tentants within a reasonable time period. But it sounds like they are just going to make your life miserable so I would consider moving as soon as you can. Check this site, it might be helpful:http://www.msnusers.com/apartmentrenters...
