Hi,
I never thought I would ever have to deal with any such issues after being a good rule abiding renter since last so many years.
My husband and I are living in this unit for last five years. We are expecting our first baby and
I am 35 weeks pregnant. Our parents from across the sea have come here for help.
Recently I had a maintenance request and one guy game over to fix it. I had not so good experience with him which I decided to ignore and not complain about to anybody. Soon after his visit we got a notice from our apartments office that we are living 4 adults and 2 kids which is more than the maximum limit of residents living in our design type unit. Either we move to a bigger unit or they will send us the eviction notice. I found it very intimidating specially at this time ( when the only thing I want to think about is my baby).
I termed it as "wrong information base" because-
1) at this point of time we are only 4 adults living in the apartment.
2) there are NO kids in my place( whatsoever)
I read the entire leasing document and I couldn't find anywhere mentioned the exact number( 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids) of maximum occupancy in our type of unit. Our parents are guests and they are not here forever.
Their information is wrong and hence this notice.
My concern is: 1) What should be my points to put forward in front of those people?
2) I have seen my friends with two kids with their parents visiting them for months and no complain has ever been filed. Then why us?
How can I fight this?
I do not want to move at this point of time. It will be too big a hassle for me.
Please advise.
