Just to inform you of things that were assumed, that are not correct. First we are not and will not be whining or nasty renters. We have not mentioned anything about reimbursment for our property to our landlords, even though everything we own is soping wet, piled in boxes and mildewing, and they refuse to move things back into our apartment. As far as being worried about them renewing our lease, believe me, we will be moving out as soon as possible. We pay our rent monthly without lease contract and our utilities are included in the rent, so I really don't care if they think I can afford them or not. The rent here is twice as high as they are anywhere else in Podunk, Texas (not New York). Over half of the apartments in the complex are empty because the rent is too high, and the landlords are nasty and whiney when asked to make any repairs. The man replacing the hot water heater said they have replaced several hot water heaters and bursted lines in the complex during the last year because the lines are corroced. SO..They knew the lines could burst and did not inspect or repolace them, I don't call that 'good faith'. We are new here so we are just now finding out that our 'not so professional' landlords, (a hopeless alcoholic and his elderly mother), have filed for bankrupsy and owe everyone in this small town. Seems everyone here knows about them, and their reputation. We have excellenct references from our previous landlords and I am sure we will have no problem renting another apartment. I have made inquires and apartments are overly plentiful here. We are in an oil town where the oil wells went dry. I have paid this extra high rent, on time, and feel I deserved a little more for my money, maybe just a little common consideration.
