No Good Deceptive Landlord

On October 13, 2008; my husband and I met with Citywide Properties (Larry DiVenuti) in Manchester, New Hampshire.  With Mr. DiVenuti’s sweet talking, my husband and I brought into his charming way and decided to rent an apartment with him.  Everything was going fine until December 8, 2008, January 2 & 3, 2009.  When we signed a 1yr. lease it stated that “The landlord will give the tenants a 24 hour notice before entering the apartment unless there is an emergency and all utilities are included”.  On 12/8/08 my landlord called me after he entered our apartment and said that he placed airfresheners and unplugged all my appliances.  I called my lawyer and was told to go to court and file a 540-A:4 Temp. Order that would keep the tenant to not enter our apartment unless we were notified or emergeny came up.  He has called me and left intimadating message to get me to back down like “eviction” and “making hell for me in court”.  On 1/2/09, the tenant above us threatened my husband and I by saying he would smash my car windows in, punch my disabled husband in the face, etc.  Called the landlord and he hasn’t done anything.  On 1/3/09, same case again.  The landlord promised to fix certain issues around the property..."hasn’t done a thing”!

This landlord is not the right type of person to rent from.  If I knew things then that I know now...we would not have giving him $1,300 for first and security.  I have talked to other tenants and have been told that he is a slumlord and they don’t like the tenants above us.  Landlord has made it clear that he wants us out due to my husband’s disability (which he knew about right from the start).

Government crackdown on slumlords

Government of district of columbia has taken a lot of landlords to court seeking to collect rent and make repairs that landlords have failed to make.

A short while ago the district of columbia government sued many landlords who were said to have failed to keep rented apartments in decent repair.  The government wants an order allowing it to collect the rent and use it to pay for repairs.  Case is called something like District of Columbia v. Williams.  I think this is a great step and think it should be an example for other jurisdictions.  Bad landlords can cause many problems to many people and deserve to be called for what they are.

vacationperfectplaces61535

I found this place through vacation perfect places it is an apartment in Lima Peru.  The pictures are not reflective of the apartement.  It is old and dirty.  Not at all the penthouse they are depicting.  The building is in the worse part of Milaflores and the rent is twice or three times what you should play.

The landlord also took monies from my deposit for painting and cleaning and other normal wear and tear that should not have been taken out.  They also charge me for utilities and charge me for the cost of goign to pay the utilities.  It was a rip off.  DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE!!!
Believe me you will find a much nicer place for half the cost.  I learned the hard way.
The landlord was also abusive and charge me for things I never saw in the apartment.

Anna is a very inconsiderate landlord

Anna my landlord does not allow me to possess a rent book, when I have a right to one.  I am tenant who pays the rent on a weekly basis and have this right but my landlord just turns a deaf ear.  I always pay it in time, and she does not even have to come up to me. How can she be so inconsiderate?
