Re: landlord tennant
Your landlord handled the water company situation poorly, but so did you.
It was completely inappropriate to let another look at your apartment.
Sue him in small claims court ASAP. Make sure you get a statement in writing from the water company. Also, read your lease as to provisions regarding the water bill.
