I suppose I haven’t been clear. There’s a number of reasons to stay, mainly convenience for work. But what can I do to make them actually fix things?

spend a bunch of money, have a bunch of headaches, and then eventually just move.

You can’t force them to manage their property differently. They are obviously cutting corners at your expense. Review your lease, cover your arse, and then move. When you’re sitting in traffic because you’re a little further from work, just keep reminding yourself that at least your A/C is working at home.

The recourse you have is to move. What would make you want to seek some government agency to file complaints when you can just get the frick out and live somewhere else?

because he's paying for it

Yeah, landlords should be allowed to treat renters like shite with no accountability. OP should just pay thousands of dollars to break his lease when the landlord isn't fulfilling basic statutory obligations. Then the landlord can do the same shite to some more tenants.

I'm renovating my house and didn't want to stay in it while the work was being done. So I decided to get a 6 month large apartment.
I know how to inspect things so I would find these red flags everywhere.

First place I looked at was the Esplanade. Best location. Right at city park can walk up Esplanade to move places to eat. Close to street car. But inside there was an obvious lack of management. Security gate broken. Doors broken. Elevators broken. Odd smells and run down looking. Now every place i looked at is way more than my mortgage but this was the cheapest at $2300 a month. ..

Next the Saulet. I was sold on the model room. But they childhood show my unit. I liked model enough to pay for the application and fees.
Then when I was shown an apartment like mine I noticed the issues. Plus the layout sucked the balcony and view sucked. Dog pee in hallways timer was leaking. Decided to forfeit by fees.

Checked out American Can. No real glaring issues. But some rooms had no windows. It was very industrial. I liked it. But found a better spot not far Away.
Even though it's only for half a year I didn't want to live in a shite place. Wanted a gym, pool and ability to walk to places to eat and drink.

But from your op I would say that's the Esplanade. Could be such a nice place. Maybe best location in the city to live. But such a shame.

Don't break your end of the contract just because they are breaking theirs.

Of course you can. What a dumb thing to say. Both parties have minimum obligations to meet

I don’t know in Louisiana, but you can absolutely do this in Texas once certain conditions are met

Is there any recourse in Louisiana for a tenant when a building is not keeping a place livable? My current situation, and this is supposed to be a nice place is this… Didn’t have water pressure enough to shower for 3 months. Fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night several times a week. AC goes out in summer and heater in winter. Now there are mice. Elevators go out often. Breakers flip when using certain appliances. And no it’s not a cheap place to live in the slightest which is why all the tenants are pissed.


I thought they demolished Kirby Smith. How are you still living there?
