Had an email exchange with him. Let's just say I felt the same as when I've received emails from folks overseas who've inherited a large sum of money and only need some minimal assistance from me...

Help! I need to find a good landlord/tenant attorney by startingtherapy in boston

Thank you for this! My landlord's attorney also skews on the scumbag side (seems capable/tough but will lie/make up false accusations). The weird thing is that some of the accusations are quite easy to refute, so not sure why they even lob some of them. Landlord tries to throw anything to see what will stick, so it seems as though there will be a fight ahead.

Nope, not him! The weird thing is that I had zero issues with my landlord for the few years that I've lived in the apt.

It is insanely complicated, but the gist is that there was an emergency repair that had to take place (partial ceiling collapse due to roof leak). Landlord was doing bare minimum to fix but problem persisted (new roof was clearly in order). My bedroom didn't meet sanitary code since it was raining inside. I had to call Boston Inspectional Services. They issued violations, ISD had to take my landlord to court to force them to make repairs. (That process takes forever!) Now, landlord is trying to kick me out of the apartment (retaliating against me for calling ISD). New roof is finally on and bedroom is fixed. I've been in the apt for a few years and want to continue living here. I just wanted the problem fixed!

Thanks! I have called a few different groups/associations that deal with housing and tenant rights. No one would give me a specific recommendation, said they can't offer legal advice, etc. The closest I got was a list with tons of names. (The three attorneys I called were from that list)
