My boyfriend and I are renting a room out of his friends house.h We have been paying the rent on the same day every month which is the 21st. Lately the people we live with have been just coming to us on any day of the month and saying we want the money today, and if you cant give it to us today get out tomorrow.
We are not allowed a key to the mailbox, and the people we live with have been withholding our mail. Only time we get mail is if its money related and they people want money. And even then the mail is usually from weeks to even months ago.
The people we live with have also raised out rent saying that it is because we have caused them to have a large electric bill. We were skeptical of the fact that two people in one small room could accumulate such a big bill compared to three people in a big house and asked to see the bill, they rufused to show us.
And the last problem that we have been having is our living conditions, my boyfriend and I have been getting sick on and off very frequently since we have been living here. There is water that leaks from our neighbors garage into our room it is creating a mold on the walls that we have complained about. There is mold growing in the bathroom as well. After complaining about this to the people we live with, they sent THEIR SON (who has no kind of background in the matter) to come and look at it!!! He looked at it said he couldnt do anything about it and nothing was done. There are roaches everywhere!!! We complained again yesterday. Our complaint turned into a huge argument, the mother ended up slapping my boyfriend, we began to call the police where as the daughter tried to slap the phone out of his hand and proceeded to call her uncle who came and threated to beat up my boyfriend.. Everytime we complain about these problems it comes to a big argument. Anyway this is the point we are at now and Im not sure what I should do now. We are at the moment looking for an apartment, but is there anything else we should do???
