MindMyOwn...I was in a situation not as similar to yours but similar enough...as a college student landlords love to try and get over on you! I was in a living situation that was not a healthy or mentally stable environment for me. Afer pouring over the lease my boyfriend and I found several clauses where they had to either let me out, or move me into another property owned by them. They at first wanted to do neither one!
My major is Broadcast Journalism, and I know that the media is a very powerful entity. So, I called some friends/reporters/anchors that I know at several news stations...and the Consumer Advocate reporter got on the leasing agent and rental property. I even went as far as contacting a student lawyer on them who called, and informed them that I had a case, I had the lease, letters from my doctor and everything.
I also did a lot of praying...once I prayed, put it in the hands of the Lord and calmed down, everything worked out in my favor....trust in him, and he'll see you through...he always has and does for me!
A lot of times people try to get over on us as a people because they think that we don't know what our rights are...it's time that we wake up and educate ourselves...
