I moved into a two story house in March. Everything started going downhill. The upstairs was extremely hot due to the fact that the ac vents do not work. The carpet in the stairs is loose and I have fallen down and had to go to the E.R recently. We have had a horrible smell of mold that we cannot get rid of. Then the worst of all started Brown Recluse spiders started coming out from everywhere. All over the house. Crawling all over my bed and my children's beds on the walls just everywhere. I told the landlord who had an exterminator spray poison inside my house twice and these spiders are huge and just keep coming into my room. We cannot sleep we make rounds and look for them at night and my husband catches them and we fear for our 3 children's safety. We have literally had them crawling on our arms and face. The Landlord has a huge 1 acre garden full of so many different plants that have overgrown and refuses to let us cut them. I told her I could not take it anymore and needed to move out. The bathroom leaks and it has carpet in the bathroom so the smell of urine is so horrible I have spent so much money spraying the yard cleaning the leaking bathroom. and all the medical bills I incurred from my fall over the loose carpet in the stairs. The upstairs carpet is so nasty from the previous tenants it has stains from dogs or cat poop. She screwed a carpet to cover a nasty stain in the bathroom. The Vents are full of pet hair and have rust all over. There are bugs crawling into the house from the ac vents and when you turn them on it smells terrible. When I moved into this place it was still cold and I had portable heaters so I had no clue how the ac would smell like. It has been a real nightmare now I am going to loose my 650 dollar deposit and have to spend more money on moving. She doesn't want to return my deposit The refrigerator doesn't work it freezes all my food. I told her about it and she just never fixed it. She just complains about having to spend money on the exterminator and I am so stressed out and in pain from falling. what can I do ?I have never had to deal with so many issues. They act like its not a big deal but it is and the amount of money I have spent no one is going to refund it. now she is telling me I have to move out and she is keeping my deposit which I find so unfair. She put a huge dehumidifier in the basement without my permission and expects me to pay for the electric charges to run that thing when its clearly a leak in her property that is causing her basement to flood. I looked it up and its like 75 dollar extra a month to run that thing (just an estimate) said the electric company.
