Q: We moved into an apartment, it wasn't cleaned and we specifically asked for the cleaning. What can we do?
The building manager said they would send one housekeeper but she would have to clean around furniture and would not be able to clean the whole apartment. There were mouse droppings and a mouse hole in the bathroom, digesting. Also they said a construction project would be going on from 19th to 21st of April, I am due to have surgery on May 10th at UCH to remove a tumor from my head and I received a head injury that required hospitalization on April 21st and am under doctor orders for quiet and rest until surgery. Now management is saying construction will continue tomorrow. I am unable to rest and all the power tools and hammering is aggravating my condition. What can we do?
A: You may have grounds for constructive eviction. You will need to contact a lawyer. While Colorado Legal Services and your local bar have resources for landlord-tenant issues, you may have to hire a lawyer.
