The housing office is on-campus. Campus is literally a football field away from the housing complex.
How are they not responsible for the safety of student housing? Did you not read the part about the DEAD BODY FOUND IN THE FIELD A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS AWAY, OR THE OTHER 4 MURDERS IN A 3-MILE RADIUS? Let's just forget all the stolen vehicles and other personal property while we're at it...
They chose an unsafe location for their housing complex, they should have to remedy that situation. I don't think they're going to move the housing complex, so that means more security measures.
I know you don't like me, Minendo, but you don't need to argue with me just because it's me...

Read your lease. Did they guarantee personal safety in that lease?

I would expect a guarantee OF NO DEAD BODIES ON MY DOORSTEP!! Get over yourself. If you truly think the company which owns and operates this housing complex is not responsible for assuring its security, you either hate me too much to think straight or are a neocon corporate ass-kisser.

ok, now you're being a complete a$$.

This conservative provided some help above this nonsensicle post.

You can't live in a vacuum. Things happen. You obviously have never lived in an apartment complex. Just the mere fact that you have so many people living in a confined area, there are going to be problems that affect you that the management just cannot forsee or control. Learn to deal with it or next time get a few buddies and rent a house.

::sigh:: CPA, my comments were not directed at you, so I see no reason for you to take offense at them. Minendo has done nothing but slander me at every opportunity he's been given. A simple search will prove that.
I've lived in quite a few apartments before, I know how they work. One truly would have to experience this shyte first-hand to appreciate just how horrible they are. You wouldn't be disturbed by dead bodies and stolen vehicles & property ALL THE TIME? You wouldn't be a bit angry over the fact that every single room in every single apartment in every single building in this complex is *literally* falling apart, despite the fact they're all less than a year old?
Re: my neocon comment, that was directed solely at minendo and no offense is meant to any conservatives. Besides, some people can actually differentiate between your everyday average conservative and neocons. I can, anyway, I used to be one.
Thanks again

He's been double billed for something. He wants to know if there is anything he can do about that beyond simply complaining. Answer THAT question. Cripes.

As CPA said, read the whole thread before inserting you foot in your mouth.

Yay! Someone's on my side for once! It must be a miracle! Thanks Alpha I'm glad to see some people CAN STILL READ.
CPA, you're the only person who's actually answered any of my questions so far... All other posts have been typical inflammatory b.s. or simply "move out".

I'll hold you to that one. Oh, and your welcome back to the good side anytime.

I've lived in some rough apartment complexes and I know how infuriating it can be, especially when management does nothing, but generally they are not responsible for the things that you are describing. Maintenance issues are another thing, but I doubt it would be worth your time and effort to do much about it, especially when you only have a couple of months to go.

Hey asshat, I was not flaming you. Just simply providing some of the facts you seem to have neglected in your rambling. First of all, it is not the apartment complexes duty to prevent murders in the area. Additionally you go on about how they charge you too much per month based on the current area of residence. Well, that was agreed upon prior to the lease signing so there is nothing you can do about that. They are also not responsible for any break-ins to personal possessions. That is why you have insurance.

If you have a major problem with their additional $35 charge for utilities ask to see their records and re-read your lease specifically the section on them covering utilities and how it works. As for the $770 additional charge, if you have a signed receipt for payment as well as a cancelled check or other proof of payment, you will be fine.

Flyermax - I am a law student, so any advice I give you is strictly on an off-the-record basis, and I would advise you to consult with an attorney for any serious advice.

If the housing office signed off on your receipt after you paid your bills several months ago, I do not think they can come after you for money. The housing office also has an obligation to keep the premises in good working order - this is pretty much an implied term of the contract (no reasonable person would rent a place if the landlord said: "btw anything & everything may go wrong and we won't be responsible.")

As to stolen property in your complex - I remember from torts class that a landowner may be liable for not securing the area if there is an obvious pattern of crime that the landowner knew or should have known about.

As to the murders in your area - if these did not take place on your landlord's property, I don't see how they can be responsible. I don't think your landlord would contract to protect you in the surrounding area to the property you rented - it simply isn't their responsbility (i.e. no duty to protect you from the local area).

Unless you have suffered damages, you have no case.

You want to sue beacuse you moved into a crappy apartment in a crappy part of town. As it has been pointed out to you, you most likely don't have a leg to stand on legally. Cut your fvcking losses and take it like a man. Everyone gets screwed like this at least once.

Can I sue these greedy, heartless bastards for anything?

Am I the only one who sees some significant irony here?

Apparently. You don't think them trying to screw me out of $770 is greedy? They have the same receipt I do in their books. They waited until March 9th to deliver me notice of "delinquent rent" for February/March. Who do you think is the greedy bastard here? Like I said before, this isn't the first time they've tried to charge me money that wasn't owed, and they've done it to every single person I know that lives here (I know at least half the tenants here so I'd say that's a pretty good amount).

Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated
I'm not really lawsuit happy, just fed up with their never-ending crap is all.

I'm pretty certain that there was an honest clerical error and they believed that you hadn't paid your rent. It is highly doubtful that this is some kind of scam to get you to pay your rent twice. Thus, you are being greedy for wanting to sue over a harmless misunderstanding.

They may very well be trying to rip him off. Dishonest rental management is not a new development. Once he actually goes down there and talks with them face to face about the billing issue they will back down.

Don't get me wrong, whatever sympathy I might have had for his situation has been eroded by his responses in this thread.

If you knew these people, you wouldn't think that.
The apartment manager has made threatening phone calls to my mother "your son doesn't live here anymore CLICK" "I have your sister's address & phone # CLICK". They've tried to get me to pay for the same thing twice before, and they've tried it with everyone else I know that lives here. Do you think that's a clerical error? When the same thing happens over and over, you tend to think it's not just a simple mistake, but rather an emerging pattern.
It's not "an honest clerical error... believed I hadn't paid my rent" because THEY HAVE THE SAME RECEIPT AS I DO IN THEIR RECORD BOOKS! Why did they wait until March 9th to send me a notice for rent that has supposedly been delinquent for OVER A MONTH? Whenever I or anyone else I know has had late rent in the past the longest it's taken to get a notice has been 10 days. If they really believed they were owed money, they would have pursued this more aggressively (as every case I have been witness to or a part of in the past has shown). They know they have no case here, and are just trying to pull a fast one on me.
Think whatever you want to about me or my methods, but the facts are quite clear in this case. I have a receipt which is identical to what the housing office has on file, they waited over a month to send me notice, and delivered the notice with only one day left until expiration at that. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can plainly see what's going on here.

I wasn't looking for sympathy, simply advice. I don't expect you to sympathize or agree with me. I just wanted to know what my options were before I went over there to handle this situation.

[crt1530]

Well, maybe if you used paragraphs, had explained your situation completely in the original post, and didn't insult people you would get more sympathy. When you say "student housing office," 99% of people will assume you live in a building owned by your university. If your landlord has no offiliation to your university, then you don't live in student housing.

You really have no cause for alarm. You have a receipt and I presume you could go to your bank and obtain proof that payment was made. You have no legal ground to stand on. You are just ranting and raving and are not sounding very coherent.

I call it student housing because it is located adjacent to the campus and the student housing office is on campus, even though student housing is run by a seperate company.
You're right, I was ranting and raving. Just trying to release a little frustration is all. Isn't that what ATOT's for?

Whatever. As long as you stop following me around in an effort to flame me. It's really sad of you

 

[Frenchie]

As was noted, you may have a breach of contract case for their failure to properly maintain the housing as well as the security of the premises, although the costs of suit are likely to outweigh any award.

As to the overcharging, I would continually bring it to their attention. If they should initiate suit, the receipt should suffice for the affirmative defense of payment or accord and satisfaction. If you believe that the continuing overcharges are not due to clerical/accounting errors, you may want to report them to the local better business bureau, attorney general - consumer protection division, and local tv station/newspapers consumer help division. It will not likely be worth the cost of suit, although if you won, they may be liable for punitive damages for fraud and violating your states consumer protection statute.

As to the overcharging for the apartments, unless you can prove that the apartments were forced on you (duress, adhesion contract, etc.), you were free to accept or reject the contract or negotiate the terms.

1) Paragraphs are your friend, as 10 other people have told you. And maybe you'd be getting more helpful responses if you had bothered to organize the stuff in your post and not throw in random rants everywhere that were completely irrevelant.

2) You neglected to ever mention if you DID owe them the $770. IE how much rent you should have to pay them as stated in your lease. And you know what? If your lease says you owe them that money, chances are good that you do.

3) Being a tenant sucks. Almost everywhere. Learn to deal with it. You are whining about things that are outside your landlord's control. If you want to get anywhere in this situation (and in life) you need to learn to focus on the actual problems that you have that are resolveable. IE whether or not you owe them $770. The fact that 3 people were killed nearby has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

4) Way to be your average american idiot, wanting to sue somebody over nothing. Why don't you use your legal desires to learn to read a lease, instead
