Question:

What can I sue a landlord for who refused to repair mold, heating, gas leak, smoke detector, paint, etc?

I just moved from an apt. i rented for 8 yrs. Mold fr. a water leak was covered up twice, heating never worked on 1st of 3rd floors, reported a gas leak 3 mos. before moving- not repaired, smoke detector was unplugged next door to stop it from going off- not repaired for 1 yr,, refused to paint in 8 yrs, carpet over 13 years old and disgusting - refused to replace, severe termite damage- not repaired, you could get in the slider door even when locked- not repaired. After I moved the heater and stove were replaced, the mold was removed, and he sent me a bill for $7000 for repairs that were not my responsibility. He said my rent was lowered due to the condition of the carpet yet the new tenants are paying $50 less. If I were to take him to court on a counter-claim, what would I be entitled to based on these conditions? What monetary amount should I ask for and what amount should I settle for?

Answer:

Is your former boss the person at the top of the corporation? If not, go to the very top. If they *are* at the top, start by consulting a lawyer. Find one that will give you a free consultation, because at the very least, they *should* be able to point you in the right direction as to whom you should turn your information over to. Embezzling is very illegal.
Before working on the numbers, please work on spelling and grammar. Fight for justice! Gambatte!
call the boss's boss, tell them your story, my relative did that, and they got their job back, and sadly 2 months later their boss was fired :( But they got to keep their job, and got a even better BOSS! you should try it!

Yes. Talk to an attorney. If you have truly been released subsequent to your pointing out compliance issues, this could easily qualify as a wrongful discharge suit and a hostile work environment. The attorney will know which federal agency for you to notify, and how to protect you when doing so, followed by how to bring suit against the employer for wrongful discharge. You may also be entitled to whistleblower rewards for helping bring an offending party to justice. See an attorney experienced in this area.
