re: Renters rights

I apologize if my candor upset you, but you are asking for a free service. The law is a complex endeavor not to be undertaken by a layperson. Before attempting to preform self-surgery, I would hope you would seek a licensed doctor's opinion for a medical problem rather than the O-T's. The analogy runs true regarding the law. TINSTAAFL. Just go see a lawyer. They will answer the question in less than five minutes if they have any sort of moral conscience. If you lack to financial means to obtain legal council, try your local legal aid office.
