Hey all, I'll keep it short. We've all had piece of shit landlords...
We live in a 4 unit building, and it recently got broken into (common spaces only). Landlord changed the locks, but forgot to give USPS a copy, so they've been unable to deliver the mail. In said mail, is my wife's paycheck. It's been over two weeks now, and LL is HARD ignoring all of the tenants, regardless of our calls, texts and voicemails. We even saw LL at the store a week ago and she claimed to be "on it" (even though she tried to duck us when she saw us). Now, bills are past due and my wife not only has all sorts of late fees tacked up, but her credit is now affected as well (something we've been working very hard on).
Can we at the very least withhold the late fees from the rent?
Thanks in advance.
