I moved into an apartment in Dec of 2008, the house the apartment is in was just closed down by the board of health because the landlord had knowingly rented 2 illegal apartments within the house. This was not her 1st time doing this. Is she obligated to give back all monies she recieved from me for rent since she knew there was a risk of the whole house being shut down. My apartment was not 1 of the illegal ones. I was not aware there was illegal apartments in the house or else I would not have moved in there with my children, just for us to be kicked out by the city without notice.
