Proving How Long Your Apartment Has Needed Repairs, So You Can Get a Rent Abatement and/or Proper Repairs

Aug 11, 2024

In Episode 30 we discuss a case where the tenant lost a lot of relevant text messages about conditions in their apartment, because they changed phones and lost text messages. Not only did they not have that evidence to help them, but a court punished them for not producing those items during discovery in the lawsuit. We talk about how to avoid these problems. And we suggest how to use evidence spoilation rules to your benefit, to show how long you have been forced to wait for much needed repairs, so that you can get proper repairs and/or a rent abatement.
