Check your local laws.. but if you can get an escrow account.. you are still making your rent payments.. they are just going into the account until the repairs are satisfied. |

Alright. Kind of sounds like that's the only thing that'll get through to them anyways |
Versailles |
And if they literally cannot, then the rental payments need to be lower, since the house isn't as it was advertised to me. |
Versailles |
I shouldn't have to reset a breaker over a shredder, so they need to figure it out one way or another lol |
The Old Gods |
Sounds like everything is pulling too much power and flipping the breakers |
Versailles |
Like I can't even use a microwave. It trips it over and over and over. And what's worse is that it has its very own breaker switch... And trips it, all on its own. |
SCF Sporting Chance |
Absolutely..it is there responsibility.. maybe your outlets are not grounded... and it is overloading the circuits. |
Versailles |
Sandy, They CLAIM if it happens while we're here, we're responsible. And I assume that's why they chose to keep their lips sealed, is hoping that they could go, "you broke it, YOU fix it!" like our prior landlords did... |
Moonless Shore |
I thought the landlord had to be responsible for fixing issues like that with houses? Am I wrong? |
Versailles |
SCF, We've had an electrician out, it happens all over the house... He doesn't think it's the wiring, he says the breaker is a cheap piece of you know what. But we'll ask them to take a look again. I just don't have $600 to pay this out of nowhere, this NEEDS to be the landlord's issue, not mine... |

One of my favorite game streamers had a fight with their landlord because they called the ambulance. There was a gas leak or something that could have been deadly. It does seem like landlords don't want to do what they should. |
SCF Sporting Chance |
Versa, If it keeps tripping there could be faulty wiring somewhere.. please be careful.. It could be a fire hazard. |
Versailles |
And I'm sorry but since I was lied to, I want lower rent fees and some of my money back. This house is NOT worth as much as they claim, with all of these problems. |
Versailles |
Electrician said this would've been a problem for a WHILE, it didn't just pop up the second my gaming PC showed up... So, this isn't something I caused, and therefore isn't a me issue. So far the landlord refuses. So I think it's going to turn into a very real battle, sadly... They never, ever want to take responsibility. |
Moonless Shore |
Gosh. I hope this situation gets resolved in a way that is beneficial to you Versa. So sorry about this. |
Moonless Shore |
I usually don't like confrontational advice, but you are paying to live there. There is no way they can expect anyone to live like that. |
Versailles |
If it was occasional, I'd just suck it up for the two years I'm going to live here until my new house is built, but 18 times daily over NORMAL household items? I can't. |
Versailles |
Sandy, I definitely asked and there's no way they weren't aware of this. I'm convinced they lied. This house is only five years old... |
