I Want to Move Out! Eviction or Break the lease?
Comments (14)Basically, it sounds like you chose the cheapest apartment possible. Surprise surprise, it is not the Taj Mahal. Instead of getting evicted and thus destroying your credit rating (making it unlikely you'll ever get a decent apartment, or borrow money for a car or house), take the initiative and try the following: 1) "The LL fails to repair the sink (inadaquate and insufficient presser of hot water)" Some areas just have low water pressure, there is not much the landlord can do about it. If water pressure is fine other places in your apartment (like the bathtub or kitchen sink), you might have a corroded faucet. Call a handyman and change the faucet. Use some of that money you're saving on rent. 2) "He also fails to replace the window screens that he promised to do so from the last september." It is winter, you don't need window screens. In the summer, for about $5 you can get the materials you need to fix them yourself (basically, nylon window mesh at home depot). 2) "There are rats running around on the ceiling and I can hear them biting something every other times when i try to go to bed." Call an exterminator. 3) "The bigger part of it is that my neighbor in the next building play their music loud" and "The neighbors are play music or watching TV loud in the afternoon. I know it is afternoon, but every person has diffrent shifts and jobs." A tenant in a different building is bothering you? How is this your landlord's problem? Call the cops. 4) "Hot water in the bathroom only last at most 15min." Again, you aren't in the Taj Mahal, but perhaps try to keep your showers under 15 minutes (which is a long, long, long time to be taking a shower, by the way). 5) "Whnever i try to contact with him, he hardly picks up the phone and never call me back. I sent a letter about it, but he called it "a stupid letter" and ignored it." You're being a pain, so he is ignoring you. That's not surprising. 6) "I don't think I can handle with it in this place anymore, otherwise i will lose my life." Don't be so melodramatic. Living in a cheap apartment will not kill you. Should you have to do this things yourself? No, and in a better building you would not, but in a better building the rent would be much higher. If in the end you decide you want more luxurious surroundings, and are willing to pay for them, the put ads on craigslist.org and find a subtenant. I'm sure the landlord will be happy to get rid of you....See MoreWeekend Music (FNM): Break, Breaking, Broken, Piece(s)
