My landlord is the biggest wimp. He wont confront the neighbor's landlord to tell him that his tenants are very disruptive of the peace. Instead, he asked if we just wanted out of our lease. I feel like he should talk to the owner of the building next door to tell him to quiet his tenants.... continue reading

After talking with the forclosure real estate agent, we were distressed by his options. We called the Tenant Hot Line and spoke with a representive who was very helpful with our questions. We felt reassured in our rights as tenants and will sleep better tonight!
Thank you Tenants Together.
