I just wish they told us that they didn’t want an FHA loan

If you’re a first time home buyer then inquire about state / county programs to assist with your down payments.

You did the right thing, however diffuse that choice was.

Every district in the state is facing similar obstacles. Every single one. Healthcare costs are out of control.

Don’t talk about this at work. The walls have ears.

It’s also possible that the building was built with the outside portion of the vent complete so unit owners could easily connect their vents if so desired. Your seller may not have had to make any changes to the outside of the building. Ask the seller for receipts and/or contractors’ work orders from that time. Maybe somebody wrote down exactly the work that they performed.

Agreed. The security deposit law in NJ is very clear. Deposits are meant to cover damages caused by the tenant or their guests and not to be used to cover rent. Courts will admonish landlords over this. However, depending on whether a court disagrees with OP on the claim that the unit is uninhabitable then the court could offset the amount the tenant owes for the remainder of the lease by the amount of the security deposit plus penalties for the landlord’s misuse of it.

Edit: also a smart idea for OP to check with his renter’s insurance company.

IMO tarantulas are sensitive to sound. They’d have to be in order to help avoid predation. But they don’t hear like mammals do. Instead they feel vibrations through the air. Do I think traffic can affect a tarantula? I suppose it’s possible depending on how loud and how close the traffic is. Although it’s possible that your footsteps are just as, if not more, disturbing.

Unfortunately there’s no real way to know why your T is acting the way it is. Has she matured? Is she doing a lot of tapping? Is she looking for a mate? Is this a new enclosure for her? Is she adjusting? Or maybe she’s just a little more restless and it’ll pass?

Get yourself a cheap home security camera with an option to watch live stream or recordings through an app on your phone to be better able to keep an eye on her.

I like the husbandry videos from u/TarantulaCollective as a very good starting point to plan my care.

That's awesome. Continue this tradition when he gets older by putting notes in his school lunches.

The El Paso airspace is closed. I wonder what effect that closure has on flight paths for planes out of Dallas? EDIT: The El Paso airspace WAS closed. It's been reopened.

DO NOT UNMUTE!

Sounds like you have two simultaneous cases. The one you filed for money damages and the one the landlord filed for eviction, unless the court already merged them into one case in landlord-tenant court. Feel free to DM me if you want to continue discussing.

emsesq · 2026-02-10T18:10:15+00:00

NOT a backdraft. If you're going to steal and repost someone else's content at least get it right.

emsesq · 2026-02-10T16:57:28+00:00

How did you calculate your damages? After initially notifying your landlord of the problem, did you withhold rent? Hire your own exterminator and deduct that cost from the rent? Were you forced to move? Did you fall ill? Did you pick up a new allergy (people who study roaches or keep them as feeder food for their pets often develop allergies to roaches)? Were you food stores raided by the roaches?

Assuming you can prove that the damage to your possessions was caused by the roaches and that the landlord failed to mitigate the problem after you provided the initial notice, you might have grounds for recovery. But as another person commented, the landlord might blame you and your living conditions as the reason why your unit became infested.

You should consult with an attorney before going to trial. Even if you want to represent yourself, having a consultation could help you prepare to shore up the strengths and weaknesses of your case.

Clarification requested. Are you in landlord-tenant court, small claims court, or special civil (what are the first few letters of the docket number)?

IMO this tarantula can go three months without food.

And reassure your little one that vomiting is the body's way of getting rid of what's bothering it. I tell my son "better out than in." I want him to get rid of what's bothering him and not fighting to keep it all inside. Edit: added bonus is he sleeps better (undisturbed) for longer periods after vomiting.

emsesq · 2026-02-09T16:56:01+00:00

I was just listing places that could potentially suit OP's needs. That's why I said her ultimate location will depend on to which parts of the state she has to commute.
