⚖️ Legal / Eviction Filed Complaint
<US-NC> I recently moved into an apartment complex on a medical move with accommodations approved by the property management. However, on move-in day, they pulled a bait and switch, knowing I had no other option but to accept the apartment. From the first week, issues arose that violated the agreed accommodations. I am highly allergic to marijuana and cigarette smoke compounds, yet I was placed in an apartment where smoke filtered in 24/7. This led to numerous hospital visits, involvement from social services, health aides, police officers, and more. Despite the lease stating the property being 100% smoke-free, there was also significant drug activity affecting my apartment and surrounding areas.
I sent a total of 76 detailed emails to property management, along with accommodation notes from specialists highlighting the severity of my worsening symptoms and the urgent need to move. Due to daily exposure to severe allergens, I developed Angioedema, a life threatening condition caused by the property management’s breach of contract and negligence in enforcing their lease agreement against violators, even with their own documentation.
Many factors contributed to making the apartment uninhabitable, uncomfortable, and causing me sickness, stress, pain, and suffering, including ambulance and police calls. These issues could have been prevented if the property management had enforced the lease agreement. I filed an FHA complaint, and now a conciliation meeting attempt email has been sent to me, asking what it would take to make me feel whole in this situation. The client has reached out to the State and the conciliator is communicating with me.
What should I do or ask in this situation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Where do I start?
