Misrepresenting Property, Charging for New Paint Job
My fiance and I rented a house from a property management company advertised as a mobile home on 5 acres. We signed the rental agreement and listed our horses (which we were made to purchase liability insurance for) on the agreement. The price was $950. Several months later we are instructed to remove our horses from the acreage as it doesn't actually belong to the property. The company claims that they had no idea the acreage they rented us didn't belong with the house. They made us move the horses and refused to lower the rent, and we moved. Can we sue? Also, while were living there, some animals died in the vents and the house smelled like a morgue so badly I wanted to vomit when I walked in the house. The repairman looked under the house for about ten minutes and couldn't find anything, then refused to do anything about the smell and instructd us to wait it out. It smelled like that for a whole month. It was unbearable. We also lived without heat for two whole weeks when we moved in in the middle of the winter before it was fixed. We froze, and then never received any sort of refund/reimbursement for not having heat for two weeks. Beyond that, we were apparently supposed to have trash pick up (which we were paying for in our rent), but it was never mentioned in the rental agreement or by the landlord, so we had to pay to take our trash to the dump the whole time because they never gave us a trash can! Can we sue for all of that too?? I am furious because they charged us $628 to repaint the entire entior of the house. The walls were markless. The repaint was normal wear and tear. They can't do that can they? We lived there for only 11 months.
