      Landlord is definitely shady, but the lease just said that the tenant needed to report mold and keep the apartment clean (Lysol is effective for singular, isolated incidents). It seems like these provisions were put it in hopes tenants wouldn't report so she could put off fixing it by pretending she didn't know prior). Then with these particular tenants, she tried to pull a fast one by using the mold they didn't wipe down as part of a ploy to pocket the whole security deposit.

    @Sophie-mm7ow 23 дні тому +5

    The landlord went way beyond the proper fees for damages and cleaning of the apartment. I am also a landlord and I would never rent anyone an apartment that looked like that. The only thing that I would have requested they clean better (providing that it even comes clean due to the landlord not maintaining it) was the stove, toilet and drawers. If the landlord knows that she has that bad of a mold problem then she needs to take care of it properly prior to renting the place to anyone else. It is illegal to "require" that your tenants use the a/c, heat or open the windows while residing in the apartment, especially if it's to prevent mold from growing. The only thing a landlord can require a tenant to do is pay their rent on time, keep the property in sanitary condition inside and out, and if they are required to pay for any utilities they need to keep them on, as not doing so can cause damage to the property. They also need to respect their neighbors and keep the area a space where they and their neighbors have peaceful enjoyment of their homes. This landlord seems like a slum lord that doesn't care about her tenants or her property. She's just there to collect her rent and then keep the deposit to fix things that she should have been maintaining the entire time they were living there. She doesn't maintain her property unless something is wrong and from the looks of it she either doesn't do it then or she does it as cheap as possible. As a landlord, if you want your tenants to take care of the property, you have to start by renting them something worth taking care of. If you don't maintain it before, during, and after they live there, they are more likely to not care for it either. Don't rent them a place that you wouldn't live but expect them to pay you to live there. Remember, it's your property, but it's their home and they have the right to be proud to call it their home. I wouldn't have ever rented that place to anyone in that condition for any amount of money. Landlords need to start remembering that the people who rent from them pay their mortgage. They may not be able to or don't want to buy their own home and without them most landlords would lose their properties because they wouldn't be able to pay their mortgage and taxes. RESPECT GOES BOTH WAYS.

  • @paulthomas8066
    @paulthomas8066 23 дні тому +5

    I've never seen a place in such dire need of an overhaul! While it wasn't exactly the Taj Mahal to begin with, the main concern from the plaintiff was their failure to notify the landlady of the various problems they encountered or to document them. It's puzzling why the plaintiffs would agree to a contract under those conditions, which placed so much responsibility on them. Certainly, they could have left the place in better condition than they received it. I have a suspicion that the landlady, being aware of the house's age, sought to avoid the responsibility by drafting a contract that made the plaintiffs liable for repairs and issues typically the owner's responsibility. The attempt to present a letter, purportedly from a 'general contractor' but actually from her son, in order to claim $300 seems dubious. I doubt she ever actually paid her son. It was only when questioned by Judge Milan that she reluctantly admitted the truth. Her lack of transparency is concerning and casts doubt on her sincerity. Her son's dramatic performance, exaggerating the state of the place as if it had been left in ruins akin to the Waldorf Astoria, only adds to the skepticism. Setting that aside, it's undeniable that the place was in need of thorough cleaning, with mold around the window sills and cockroaches scurrying in and out of dark corners. Her acknowledgment of knowing about the hole in the bathroom drawer implies a disregard for her tenants' living conditions. These issues should have been brought to her attention regardless of the tenants' responsibilities. She should have taken action to address the roach problem instead of attempting to extract more money than the total deposit, while ignoring issues she tried to push onto the plaintiffs. It's simply unacceptable.
