Angry Lost deposit...

I had a question before about a noise ordinance. My children and I weren't able to sleep our bedroom at night, because of loud earbursting music playing over our apartment all day and night. I reported it to the police, apartment security, and the office,and the city, but the office believed that I was complaining about her, because I thought she was trying to steal my boyfriend, and the tenant had lived there for five years, so how could she do it. I didn't care about her stealing my boyfriend, I just didn't want to hear her music. We'll because of my complaining, the only option I had was to move,which meant they had to release me from my contract, becuse they wouldn't do anything about the situation. My neighbor also called and told DFS that I was leaving my kids alone. I get public housing assistance which takes a long time to process. I figured since my assistance didn't go through, that they would pay for me to stay another month, we'll they didn't. I got a letter saying either I have to pay them rent or quit (whatever quit means). So we decided to move, which the apartments that were in now allowed us to pay half rent and move in. What I wanted know is am I entitled to a refund of some of my deposit, because I felt we were treated unfairly, they didn't stand by there contract, and we moved with the apartment in the same condition it was in, raggedy?

Default Re: Lost deposit...

It is permitted to break the lease if they have failed to comply with the lease and/or there are health, noise or safety concerns--but save all information, evidence etc. in case they dispute the situation and try to take you to small claims court. Or you could file against them
