Here's a link to the burnt unit: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cei4WagEQ7rJi5EeA
Live in Urbandale, Iowa.
Currently in 12 month lease, ending in February 2020
Current situation is that I don't feel safe in my residence. Both me and my girlfriend's car have been broken into. Half of our building has burnt down. The burnt down portion is not s
ecure allowing people to enter. A person could enter through the burnt down portion, find their way into our attic, and drop in on us during the night. I have asked a few times for them to keep that door locked and shut at all times however it is constantly open and I have photos of every time I catch it open. when the fire happened we were told to use our insurance to cover a stay in a hotel, even though the fire was not our fault.
There is no insulation in the ceiling as someone would typically expect in our extremely hot and cold climate. It took them 28 days to install insulation is that considered a reasonable amount of time?
On a few occasions they have made unannounced entrances to our unit. Sometimes they fail to announce a 24-hour notice before entry.
Our lease has several clauses, including buyouts, damage, fire, and other conditions of early termination. does it seem like any of the above would be valid reasons to get out of the lease without payment?
I have also lost my job for several months now would that be worth mentioning to assist them in deciding to get me off the lease?
They have always threatened with eviction for ridiculous reasons. one time there was a smell in the hallway and I was served at the notice I'd be evicted unless I correct it that smell. I responded with saying it wasn't my unit and never heard anything again.
