I am having a serious problem with my previous apartment management company. I have found out through several other apartments that I have applied for that they are slandering me, which is keeping me from being able to rent another apartment. They are accusing me of smoking in the building, mostly, I believe. I heard directly from several other landlords that they continue to claim that I violated the lease, but it was a smoking building when I moved in! The carpet was not replaced, it had burn marks all over it, nor had the nicotine stained walls been painted. After two years, they decided to make it a non-smoking building, and I did not smoke inside anymore, however they continued to accuse me of smoking, and other petty things. This continuing slander is making it impossible for me to find a new apartment that will accept me! I have it from several other landlords that they are telling them bad things about me. I am about tp be desperately homeless! I am disabled and this is MN, so homeless people freeze to death here! I just want them to stop slandering me!!! Unless they have pictures of me smoking in their unit, they can't prove a damn thing!!!
Then, they're also saying that I violated the rules when I reinstalled a ceiling fan. (after they finally did some improvements on the place) I did do that, but only because I had no idea that was a problem, since the apartment had 3 ceiling fans in it when I moved in.
Now, they continue to ruin any chance I have of being approved for another apartment!!! What can I do? I am disabled and living on SSI, so I can't afford much. I need this to stop so I can get into another apartment!!!
