Q: Can we sue an apartment complex for kicking out myself and my family?
My veteran fiancé and I live in a two bedroom with 3 kids youngest being 2 months old. We have maintenance issues that have caused the management to receive fines. We feel this is a retaliation against us because of that. The playground is not safe for my children to play at due to construction that was done but was not finished. There is no caution tape surrounding the area. I want to know if we have a leg to stand on against this place. This is causing mental distress to my already mentally distressed fiancé who served in the Navy for 9 years. I'm looking for justice for him myself and our family
A: Did they evict you already? If so, then you could have filed a counter claim in that action. If not, then you could claim retaliation. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and consult a local litigation attorney who can review your situation and advise you about possible claims against the landlord.
