so since I've moved out, I've been living in the same place, a small apartment off of a fairly busy road. Me and a roommate share the place, and split the rent, he's one of my best friends and I have no issues with him.
However, seeing as we're both 17 about to be 18, we can't afford a luxury apartment in the middle of the suburbs. So the place we decided to take is a place still in the same city as where we're from, and the place looked actually really nice when we first got it.
It had a community pool, a gym (meh not too much in there, i still keep my actual gym membership), and the apartments were really nice, dishwashers, two bedroom, a lot of floor space. It's a simple two story each person gets one story kind of deal, so of course we knew we'd deal with sound issues depending on our neighbors.
Now, it's been 6 months, and this is the current status of the apartment, the dishwasher floods the entire kitchen upon use, the dryer for clothes doesn't work, there's no ethernet (was promised to be installed in a week or so when we moved in), the grounds around the place is very, very unkempt. And the side paneling on the place is turning green because nobody has washed it.
Now some of you say, go out wash the place yourself, cut the grass yourself, hire a repairman, install ethernet yourself, etc.
We can't, it breaks out contract agreements and we've tried to get our landlord to allow us, but he won't.
And we have a one year contract, meaning we can't leave the agreement.
Hiring an attorney for the landlord not keeping his end of the contract is majorly expensive, and if we don't win, we have no way to pay the guy.
Not sure what to do or how to go about it.
