I am having problems w/ new upstairs neighbors. They have rats. This is not permitted as the only animals allowed are cats. We now have baby rats outside. I noticed them on my back porch. Thank God they haven't found their way in. I am afraid of infestation.
Landlord notified but no action taken. What legal action can be taken here?
Same upstairs neighbors have a littering problem where they throw trash, lit cigarettes(possible fire hazard when the wind catches and they blow right up under siding on my back porch) and used condoms
down from their balcony. Once again, no landlord action after several complaints. What can I do about this? Could neighbors legally get into trouble by improperly disposing of their bodily fluids? This has happened three times already in less than 6 weeks.
Also, I have a question about carport rental. There is a sign on the carports that states, "Parking by permit only. Unauthorized vehicles will be towed." Tenants have been told to stay out if they haven't rented these spaces.
Most of the time I cannot use my carport as someone is in it.
I have not been required to sign a lease on the carport. I asked the apt mngr to prorate my carport rent. She stated she didn't have the authority to do this. Since no lease has been signed and because most of the time I cannot park in my designated carport-am I liable to pay for parking?
Also, the courtesy officer(who is also a police officer), when called about this problem will not have the vehicles towed, I believe, because the mngr has failed to provide the permits. Would it be legal to call a tow truck myself to have a vehicle in question towed, at the owners expense of course?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!
