When this house was rented I was at work. My name was put on the lease but never being inside the house or meeting the landlord I didnt sign it. The conditions of the house became uninhabitable and the girl I was living with moved out. My name not being on the lease and non of the utilities in my name I made sure to write the letter as to why I was leaving and now the Landlord says he is going to sue me not only that but he has been leaving harassing phone calls and his property manager wont stop texting me. below is the letter I wrote... Please give legal advice...
Bruce,
Due to imminent health and safety threats at 1311 N. Park the premises does not meet criteria to be deemed a viable residence. After seeking legal council I have come to the conclusion that immediately terminating the lease is the proper legal action. After communicating the dangerous electrical situation, among other extreme hazards, no action was taken to correct the threatening situations.
While moving we were told the refrigerator was in working condition and it was placed in the house. We purchased $220 in perishable products only to find the refrigerator not in working conditions and actually filled with maggots and flies. The perishable products were lost and we were never apologized to, reimbursed, or furnished a working refrigerator. Soon after that, we asked Leah; your reality manager, to remove the washer, dryer, and refrigerator seeing as how they did not work.
The house began to smell bad and I crawled under there to see if an animal had died. What I found was a large amount of trash, which seemed to belong to a homeless person who had lived under the house. The trash included diapers, clothes, and food products. We asked Leah if they could come remove the trash from under the house. It was four days before Leah and her partner came to the house to remove the appliances. In the process they knocked down and broke a fifty-five dollar mirror and left the broken glass on the bathroom floor, and also neglected the trash that was under the house.
During the Second month and well into the usage of the natural gas heater the electric began to fail. The breakers kept flipping off, regardless of how many appliances we had plugged in. It eventually got to the point we could not run any appliances in the house. The gas heater uses electricity to push the hot air out into the house and we could not use it do to faulty electric. After informing Leah she told us to call OG&E, which has nothing to do with the electric wiring in the house. We felt that this was a way to brush off the situation . After continuous complaints the electricity was finally looked at and the verdict was that it could not be fixed and that we had to alter what we had plugged in and where. The house became uninhabitable without the heat functioning properly, resulting in frigid temperatures.
Thus resulting in the termination of the lease as of Nov. 30th 2008
Sincerely,
Blake Baumann
