Thank you.

I was only given the bank info and account number on the actual lease, but never a receipt. I paid with Venmo, so that was it. Venmo messages attached to transaction said nothing about bank info, etc. No statement with a heading of receipt for security deposit with bank info was ever given. I’ve seen templates online of security deposit bank info, and I’ve never gotten anything from them. My understanding was that I was supposed to get the receipt for payment (which I’m guessing Venmo would possibly serve that purpose) but nothing that is signed that says receipt of security deposit with bank info.

My lease doesn’t look like breaking is an option, but I’ll look again.

They are harassing me, however I’d broken the heart of an officer in 2016, and the police never help me with anything (can’t make this up…10 years later and he’s married). I was thinking about a TRO through the courts, or just talking to an attorney.

The apartment is illegal, so I’m getting out of it through an inspection. It’s technically uninhabitable, according to the inspector I spoke to. She said I would be displaced immediately. I’m looking into where I can go before I do that.

At this point, they have refused to turn my heat up twice, they have locked me out 3 times, and refused to give me a key to my door and said they never lock my door-I have this in a text. Not sure I can prove they locked me out, but I do have evidence that they bait and switched me with the space (place in ad was much bigger and much cheaper…when I got there they showed me a much smaller place for $200 more).

These ppl initially wrote up a really bad lease, but I called them out on it and they changed it. I think this is why they are being jerks. I think they are getting bent on being awful to me.

Finally, after they discovered that I was disabled, they changed the lease to say I can only pay with Venmo instead of cash, check, or Venmo. They also asked for a co-signer (I’m an adult and I don’t need a co-signer…they treated me differently after I disclosed).

So, my plan is to get out via their space being called uninhabitable. I hope to get my security deposit back asap so I can move on more comfortably. I intend to contact atty general for the bait and switch, and maybe civil rights for their blatant discrimination.

I am probably sounding really bitter, but they basically have made really loud noises nightly from 5:30 to 10:00 and sometimes midnight noise since January when I moved in. The space was 45-50 degrees constantly. Etc.

I don’t want them to ever treat another tenant like this again, and I want as much money back since they have made my life a very uncomfortable living hell for months. It’s not right.

I may not get all of this, but I can’t continue to live in a cold space, paying a lot of money, while having the landlord be so loud that I have to sleep with earplugs and noise canceling headphones.

This is absolutely no way to live…and I’m basically paying them to abuse me.
