I want to know more about:
I don’t know what you’re trying to say in the first sentence. I don’t know what a hot dog came is.
This is saying landlord should be paying me 5% interest on my security deposit each year. I have never heard of such a thing. If that is true, maybe I should try to collect from current landlord for 9 years’ worth plus several more years from previous landlords.
Why was my new landlords able to raise my rent by $300.00 a month , when I’m on section 8? Why are they aloud to charge me a fifty dollar utility fee when I’m low income and on heap and Pip to help with my bills. Why are they aloud to make me pay them $20.00 a month for renters insurance. I been here ten yrs and never had renters.. Why are they telling me to sign a lease that states my dogs are not aloud in the house in the winter, and they want a ridiculous $75.00 late fee and ten dollars a day after… THIS IS INSANE. What are my rights in Cleveland Ohio, Can they do this to me?
