Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help us. We're having a tough time finding someone to take our lease and we have to move out soon. My fiance and a friend of his signed a one year lease to rent a townhouse with Esquire Management.
When we moved in here on the first week of January, everything was dirty and a lot of things needed to be fixed. Including the continues running of one of the toilet which ended up costing us $500 on our first water bill. They didn't reimburse us. They promised to fix all of it in two weeks, and they did most of it except for the biggest problem we have.
The dishwasher and refrigerator is still leaking and our kitchen is constantly flooding. We might already have molds in this place because most of our food, even just left for a day or two on the counter, it'll get molded. I might be allergic to the mold as well, because I've been having a bunch of symptoms and I'm going to my doctor to get it checked. We asked them to fixed it up, but the landlady didn't do so until probably almost 2 months of us constantly calling them. They finally sent someone to fix it and both of the unit are old. The repairman told us to contact the management and tell them that they should replace it soon. If was fine for a month but right now it's still constantly leaking. The fridge froze our vegetables and even eggs. It's been about 3 months now and they still haven't replaced it.
To top it all off, they were eager to kick us out before (around April) and sent us 2 eviction notes in a month which is not really our fault to begin with and it has something to do with the wrongly billed utility bill which is the 3rd parties fault.
Also, they were trying to kick us out because of the constant noise complain coming from our townhouse. Which amazes me because when they asked about it, they apparently have gotten multiple noise complains (maybe around 30s or so) but note this that those noise complain are either in the morning or afternoon which is another thing that bugs me is that the people here works night shift and still sleeping at that time or either preparing for work. None of them are after 11pm except for 1 probably because there was a party at that day. Also, those noise complains are about constantly thumping (probably the laundry) or something like that, someone even complain about yelling and stuffs like that on certain days, but we know for sure no one was home or at least they're out at work.
Now, my fiance and I are planning to move out but he's still legally bound to the lease. Also, his friend is planning to move to BC next month as well, and even if we stay, this place it too big for two people, and it'll be a waste of money. Is there any way to get out of the fixed term lease? And if necessary, do we have to seek of legal consultation or hire a lawyer? How much would it cost us to do so?
That is all. I'm really hoping to hear your reply soon. Thank you.
