I want to move out 2 month early and I would PREFER to not pay rent. Lease says I have to like every lease in existence. I can pay if it comes down to it.
There is very obvioiusly mold under the paint on the ceiling of my bathroom due to water damages caused from my upstairs neighbor (NOT my fault).
The Plan :
1. Take pictures of the paint.
2. Put in a maintenance request with pictures.
3. I KNOW they will not do anything. The overworked maintenance guy will say "it's probably the paint rippling".
4. Cut the paint, take more pictures of the mold.
5. Send an email, with pictures, stating they have failed to adequately address safety issues and I am leaving for my physical health. I won't be paying any more rent. They can keep the security deposit. Say that if they go to small claims court, I will bring up the mold. I will remind them that I know where they have patched over massive leaks and I know where any health and safety department can find black mold, roaches, rats, etc. This building is not up to code. I know it, you know it, so don't come after me and I won't say anything.
You think this will work?
