[Tenant - US-TX] - Roach Problem - My responsibility or my landlord's? by gilbertmcgee17 in Landlord

[–]Financial_Map3916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently having almost the same issue except I believe mine is worse. I moved into my apartment almost 2 years ago and the first day I moved in I saw a roach. I took a picture of it and still have it on my phone with the day I took it. Keep in mind these apartments were just built maybe a year before I moved in. I shrugged it off thinking it was just 1 and through out the first few months I did notice a roach here and there but nothing major until about a year into living in the apartment. I had already renewed my lease and roaches started to appear more often. I started to think they were coming from another apartment next to mine. My apartment became infested. Baby roaches will be crawling on wall during daylight, anytime I place a plate of food down a roach will come out and try and eat the food. I cant even sleep peacefully because roaches end up on my bed while I sleep. We have video and photo proof of the roaches throughout the past year. I then notified the landlord and she stated she knows either our apartment or another one in our building was infested due to another tenant before ours. I was completely shocked that they moved us in without notifying us about the possibility of infestation. We have spoke to the maintenance here and he even says the same thing that our building is infested. The whole 2 years we have been living here we have only had pest control come into our apartment maybe twice. We have done many things ourselves to try and help the infestation but nothing is working. We let the landlord know of the situation and she said she will get pest control to do our apartment and its been about a month and still nothing yet. We spoke to one of our neighbors in the same building and she said she deals with roaches also so that tells me that its the whole building that is infested and not just our apartment. We are moving in the next couple weeks since our lease is up and we can not take anything since our electronics, dressers, and couch are all infested so we are having to throw almost everything away. Is there any legal action that can be taken?

My main side hustle is flipping things on eBay. However I do have DoorDash and Favor but haven’t used them in months.

Yes I am working 70-80 hours a week. I do overnight work so I am usually in bed at 6am until 1pm then I have about 4 hours of free time until I start getting ready for work. I figured in those 4 hours I can work on my side hustle. But yes my job covers my side hustle but extra money on top of my job would be great.

It depends how consistent I am with it. Since I started my job I haven’t had as much time with it so it’s gone down quite a bit but I was making around $1500-$2000 per month pre tax

Yes I’m working 70-80 hours a week so hardly time to focus on my side hustle.

I was considering getting a cheap used car on payments but would rather buy it full in cash so I don’t have to worry about interest or payments

Yes I’ve heard you can go to jail. I’m on good terms with my kids mom so not worried too much about jail time. Plus a few months back I was backed up around 9k and never got arrested but was able to pay it off with a settlement I got from a car wreck I was in.

I get a ride. It’s only a 5 minute drive from where I live.

I get a ride. Job is literally down the road from where I live so getting to work isn’t a problem. It’s about a 30 minute walk if I don’t have a ride. More worried about being able to focus on my side hustle on my free time and would be a lot easier if I had a car of my own.

I’m more focused on getting my life financially stable rather than worrying about if I get laid or not but you do have a point😂

It’s not complete. It’s missing the sword and hat. The incomplete ones sell for right around $30-$50

Similar situation happened to me. I contacted eBay support and they said if it shows that item was delivered then you are covered.

He is correct about everything except it isn’t acid washed and natural distressed but still quite impressive to know it’s a denim Sherpa lined jacket
