“Quick to evict”
Let me guess. They didn’t pay rent. They’ll go to court and say “but my ll didn’t fix anything”. The judge will say “if it’s good enough to live in, it’s good enough to pay rent at”.
.
If they owner isn’t fixing things, they’re not doing what they’re obligated to do in the lease. So your remedies as a renter are normally to fix it yourself and deduct from rent (most leases allow for this) or provide notice that you’re leaving due to their breach of lease.
.
Staying and not paying isn’t an option. I’ve literally seen this play out in court 100’s of times
I was convinced that the huge Woodlands Hills development pricing of “less that $300K” had to be wrong, but I could not find anything that said otherwise. That is really surprising.
