Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Colorado
landlord mislead me!!!!!
I relocated to denver a few days ago
and rented a property before moving
out here. The olny thing is that the
house looked very run down
compaired to the pictures on the
web. The pictures showed a nice
house and the ad made the house
sound wonderful but when I got
there it was all beat uo holes in walls
broken cracked microwave hole in
exterior door and so on which
landlord or ad did not disclose. Also
owner told me the pictures were
taken much earlier when there was
no damage. Needless to say I refused
to get into a property in that
condition now owner threatens to
sue me is there anything I can do?
Also landlord verbally told me in front
of two witnesses that he would let
me out of the lease If i was not
happy does this hold up Help!!!!

Re: landlord mislead me!!!!!
Sorry to hear about the problems. You may have a valid basis to claim misrepresentation on the condition of the home. Also, if he made a promise to let you out of the lease with no cost, that may be a binding agreement.
See what happens and get everything in writing. If this can't get resolved, proceed to small claims.
