Hi, my fiance and I have been renting an apartment for 3 months now. When we moved in, we created a list of what was wrong with the apartment so they could not say we damaged it. We gave this list to the apartment manager. Well, a week ago the toilet overflowed because they never repaired it. The water seeped into the carpet, and it smells. I contacted our landlord when it occured and she sent maintainance out. They fixed the toilet, but did nothing to the carpet...A few days passed, the smell got worse. So i contacted our landlord again. She returns my call screaming at me for 7 min. claiming i harrassed her, and that i am never satisfied. I can't allow my fiance to live here with possible mold/mildew. She said we can break the lease. So, we have found a place, paid the deposit, and got approved. What I need to know is what to do legally to cover myself. how should I handle this with my landlord. 30 days notice, in writting, certified letter? What else?? Thanks for the help.
