Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Hampshire

Rental Agreements

One month ago I contacted the property manager about over charging of rent, she said if I did not hear back from her the next day it was all set. It is the next month and I recieved a balance due again for an overcharge for appliance rent (now 3.5months later, still accumulating). The lease states we pay $892 month inc. appl. rent. They continue to ask for more money, not to mention not fixing problems (i.e. 1month to fix mold issue, 3 weeks to fix flooded rooms b/c of burst pipe, etc.) in our apt. What can I do? Is this enough to break my lease with the company, so I can move somewhere that I am not worrying about these things and am not stressed out all the time?

Re: Rental Agreements

In order to respond to your question I would have to examine the lease and any communications between the parties after the lease was signed. The law in these cases requires that certain steps be taken if there is an issue of habitability. I do not know from what you state if the problems with the apartment have risen to that level, nor do I know the cause of any of the problems or what steps, if any, the landlord took to make repairs. These are often difficult cases to pursue and only a detailed analysis would provide the information needed to fashion a course of action.
