LANDLORD TRYING TO GET US!

[abamford]

OUR LANDLORD IS MAD BECAUSE WE HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED ABOUT A FEW THINGS THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF. WE PAY $1,099.00 EVERY MONTH, ON TIME, WHICH INCLUDES-$850.00 FOR ACTUAL RENT, AND $249.00 FOR FURNITURE RENTAL. EVER SINCE WE SENT THEM A TYPED LETTER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEATER NOT WORKING, OUR WATER BILL NOT BEING DELIVERED, AND THEM NOT RESPONDING TO OUR PLEAS, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO ADD ON CHARGES TO OUR RENT. THE LATEST BEING $254.00, FOR FURNITURE RENTAL. I REFUSE TO PAY IT BECAUSE I HAVE PAID RENT AND FURNITURE RENTAL EVERY MONTH, ON TIME. CAN THEY DO THIS TO US? WE ONLY HAVE TWO MONTHS LEFT IN OUR 6 MONTH LEASE WITH THESE PEOPLE. WE HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO PAY AND DO RIGHT BY THIS APARTMENT SO WE CAN GET ANOTHER WHEN WE MOVE. OUR CREDIT IS ALREADY RUINED FROM PAST PROBLEMS WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO STRAIGHTEN OUT, AND NOW THIS!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT SHOULD WE DO? WE KNOW THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE US A GOOD REFERENCE NOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE MAD. ITS SAD THAT SOMEONE TRIES TO DO RIGHT, AND IN THE END, THEY STILL GET **** ON!!!!! PLEASE HELP! ~BAMBAM~
