Problem with Landlord HELP by kimberly (NC) on July 11, 2008 @01:17
I had rented a house from my church's pastors daughter 3 months ago,and paid a $450.00 deposit plus 1st. months rent,
she did not give me a lease of any kind ( there was no lease) The only thing I told her was that I was needing to rent the home for 1 year she agreed. I had been living here for 3 months and had paid my rent on time never late, my problem is every since I moved here I had been having pluming problems in the kitchen since the first day I moved in, the water would not go down the drain and I had to dump water every day, the plumber was called out but he never fixed it and refused to come out again then I finely got the water down after the land lord told me what to do like boiled water and pour it in the sink 6 or 7 times and use Clorox well we got the water to drain that was 1 1/2 months ago and the drain had been trying to stop up just a couple times happening again off and on but I was able to get the water down, well this time I could not get the water to go down and I called my landlord and told her about it and some how water had gotten in only one of the drawers beside the sink where I keep my spoons and forks and it got messed it up I don't know how it happened,it was not down by me or my 15 or 16 year old now she's kicking me out for this saying I'm damaging the cabinets, the cabinets are NOT DAMAGEE ONLY ONE DROWER, she's giving me 30 days to move out and she wants a walk though my house only on the grounds of the damage drawer only, I'm disable and have 2 children, my house is clean , she has never been in my house other then the kitchen to collect her rent and her mail and my kitchen was clean then as well, please what are my rights, I have done nothing to be kicked out about other then reporting things, MY PASTOR TOLD ME IF I MOVED IN THE HOUSE THAT I WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH HER,I LIVE IN NC, ITs A PRIVATE HOUSE.
