Screwed again.

Adam, thats a basic play out of the LandLord hand book. Had I known your a renter, I would have given you a few tips.

Now is the time since your new in the house to video tape the intire house and make a note of everything that is not perfect. Every pinhole, every nail hole. Tarnished door knob. Etc...

Make a copy of every note you send to the Landlord requesting repair with a not on it stating your not going to be responsable for damage caused by said problem or problem that arises.

Know thw law. Your actually going to have to take the time investigating what the law is, how it is writin and speak with a lawyer. Do not be surprised if your actually lieable for the rent he charged you even though you where not living in the house. Some states actually lean for the Landlord on this matter making the last tenant lieable for the empty house.

(Just something I read that varies from state to state.)

Your going to have to think on a different level. Like how can I screw the next guy level. Leagal like. Twist words, actions, understandings writin or not.
