OsuMj Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 hmmm, so the gas was off at one of the valves? Was it? argh...actually, my upstairs neighbor's gas valve is off, for good reason, there's apparently something else wrong with their furnace. Mine was a wiring issue with the new thermostat they installed - which is why nothing was happening when i turned the heat way up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) if u have a lease you can sue her for locking you out especialy if your not behind on any rent you could also press charges for breaking and entering if she does not give you a notice of if and when she enters the premises. landlord or not they have to give you at least a 24 hour notice before they can enter the premises. otherwise breaking and entering even with a key can be a felony charge in ohio Edited March 18, 2010 by Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 She got all that previous crap taken care of (with the exception of my crumbling front porch), so I've been living here for 6 months with only minor problems, then suddenly this last monday the electric gets shut off and I find out she basically hasn't paid the electric bill since I moved in... It got turned back on later that night, but this is just WAY too much for me to deal with. Besides all that, she'll ignore me for weeks at a time, its annoying....

What it does is it guarantee's that she will have to do all repairs to your satisfaction in order to get her rent she can not evict u. Go to whatever county your in to clerck of courts and open an escrow account and give them a list of problems and from there she will have to have all work completed in order to recieve her rent from the clerck of courts!!!

OsuMj Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 +1I threatened a landlord with this years ago when we were still renting. Got her attention reeeeal quick!OK, but as i understand it, and please correct me if i'm wrong, but escrow only works if there's conditions that need corrected. So yes, i could put it into escrow to get my front porch steps fixed, but me having my electric randomly shut off bc she hasn't been paying the bill can't be predicted, so i can't just put my rent into escrow on the potential for my landlord to be an idiot... right?

Strictly Street Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Call "Midnight Moving Company" get all your stuff out of there!Call the Housing authority have the place condemned. (No utilities)Call the BBB and file a complaint against her.Then see the clerk of courts and file a lien against her for the back rent.File a small claims court complaint while your there.Go on line and sign her up for the KKK and the Black Panthers at the same time.Then get creative!

Right?if your electric is included with your rent everytime it gets shut off notify the clerck of courts and then she will be looking at bigger issues. Id contact aep and find out if you can be notifyied if and when electric will be off so u can prepare!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id contact aep and find out if you can be notifyied if and when electric will be off so u can prepare!!!AEP has made it abundantly clear to me, that even though I live here and have a lease for the property, since its not in my name, I'm not even allowed to know if the electric will be shut off until the guy comes to my door to tell me. They claim its violating the rights of the person who is paying the bill ... yeah.The public utilities is a whole different story. They'll tell you exactly what she owes. lol.

OsuMj Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Its official, lawyer says i cannot break my lease bc in order to break a lease, you have to have this very specific sequence happen:1. something breaks2. you notify landlord that thing is broken and give them a certain amount of time (depending on what is broken) to fix it - IN WRITING3. landlord does not fix it in said amount of timeshort of her saying that she's cool with me breaking my lease, i can't do anything and since she is officially ignoring me, I dont see that happening. :(any suggestions?
