What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
What are the rules to classify an apartment abandoned in Texas.
I have a neighbor who has NOT been in her apartment since July 12, 2008 due to the fact that her boyfriend hijacked the power from the electric company (her electric had been cut-off due to non-payment) and ended up burning up the meter. (we all lost power for several hours due to this incident). The electric company, is looking for her and so we know there is no power in her unit, but she still pays her rent according to the management company.
I'd like to know if someone else can declare her apartment abandoned. The smell and roaches coming from this unit is awful and I've spoken to the management company and they said "there is nothing we can do because she's still paying her rent on time".
What can I do?
