Re: Help OR else the boat has to be sold Another UPDATE NOW I AM MAD

Speaking of crap, lets simplify this... Mail the landlord a bag of feces with a note: "thanks for all the crap, here is some in return". Oh, or, "sorry for parting on a bad note, please accept this bag of homemade fudge as a peace offering:.


Sorry, I have a thing about revenge.. I once had a neighbor with a REALLY loud mustang that liked to sit in the driveway and rev it every morning at 6am and had a tendancy to lay rubber in the street in front of his house.. One COLD LATE winter night I dumped water around all 4 of his tires.. it was rather amusing listening to him burn up his clutch the next morning trying to get out of the driveway.

When ever the topic of revenge comes up, I always remember this saying:

Justice is never revenge, and Revenge is never justice..

This saying has got me through many a bad time, including my sister being murdered, loosing men in combat and lost of parents to many different causes.

If all you are out for is revenge you will never get justice..

My wife and I have done quite a bit of homework on this situation since yesterday. It is almost impossible to find an attorney to represent a tenant, and the amount of this matter is quite small $805.50, most attorneys aren't willing to fool with it. I found one that will be happy to do it however he is an hour away and charges $285 per hour and charges the same for commute time i.e. to use him would cost me around $2800 for the whole oredeal, which I may or may not be able to recover in court.

My wife called legal aide today, and because the amount is relatively small, we have evidence, and have been turned down by many attorney's they told us that they will not file a complaint on our behalf but if he sues us that they will have an attorney represent us free of charge.
I also found that if I file a lawsuit as a complaintant in Sevier county it will cost me $112.50, if I am the defendant in the lawsuit and file a counter-claim it will cost me $22.50 for service.

The previous letter that I typed was a rough draft and has been refined and will be refined further by my wife and myself.

We are not out for revenge my wife myself and my child really just want to move on from this situation. I will not be mailing bags of Feces or anything else (I am sure that is a federal offense), and while the though it may be tempting I really just want to take the higher road. The best thing that can happen is to resolve the issue amicably without the courts ( I don't see this being possible), or to let the judges decide and whatever the decision may be all though I am sure it will be favorable, to move on and live a happy and productive life together, no matter what happens life will deliver final justice as he will reap many times over what he sows but I will not take it upon myself to be the deliverer of justice ( no matter how tempting it may be). Here are a few tags of what I lived with for nine months

The first one is a CLEAN Tupperware lid

A CLEAN class of water left 5 minutes so I could go smoke a cigarette came back to find this. Sorry the tags are out of order you get the idea though

This was one of his solutions

Sig,

It sounds like you have well researched this issue and it would be good to take the high ground and get on with life, I would make sure and keep all documentation for a couple of years, until your sure they won't sue you.

At this point in time, I would not concede to anything, just get on with your life and enjoy your new home with your wife and kid, if I were me, I would not pay them a dime and if they decide they are going to sue, let legal aid help you out.

Just write it off to a bad experience(I know this is hard, when it involves your family) but get back to enjoying life without the hassle and worry.

Good Man, sounds like because of your diligence, you will get far in life, I wish you all the luck...you deserve.

Thanks MT Boatguy that is our whole deal we just want it over, he is going to sue and I am ok with that I hadn't gotten all of our pictures together but then when I saw it all I feel much better, legal aid is not going to have to much to do to defend us.
Here are a few pics of how we left the apartment

I got you man believe me I got the humor, and I am VERY tempted. I am a little raw about the whole deal and that was Definetly not an attack I thank you for trying to lighten the tone a little.


Ohh everyone's opinion to the toilets look damaged? Anybody see any validity to the claim of damaged toilets.

Thats our cat we call twitchy he is not amused by this whole situation.

Re: Help OR else the boat has to be sold Another UPDATE NOW I AM MAD

I've always fallen back on humor in bad situations, it helps me.

The toilets look fine to me. I see no way that kids toys could damage toilets. The only way a toilet could be broken beyond repair is for it to crack, other than that, it's piece or porcelain with a water valve and a rubber flapper for flushing, not exactly a complex device.

Kudos to your for doing what you needed to do to take care of your family.

Yeah, cats don't adapt well to change, that is for sure!

I feel for you and your family. Thats why i will NEVER rent again. I'd rather OWN a delapitated 150 year old house in a bad neighborhood than go through what you are..

Moving is the best thing you can do. no matter how many bug guys come out, the NASTY next door neighbors will bring the roaches back.

Too bad you LL is being a jerkface about it. makes you want to plug the drains turn on the water and walk away... let him have your deposit, and never look back he'll do way more that the deposit it repairs not to mention the other tennants.. But that is just what you feel like doing.

Do what you are get the heck out document everything. Don't believe the drug thing. thats your word against his. it means NOTHING if the cops thought you were a drug problem they would have come and got you already.
