Its like a broken record, unfortunately, and again - not an actual client - but an unhappy blurb recipient....where unreasonable people ask for legal "advice" and and when told that their position is unreasonable, are "offended" simply because they weren't told what they wanted to hear. Unfortunately, such people do NOT seek "legal advice" but rather cheer leading or to coached in "working" the system. Anyone that doesn't support them blindly or challenges or questions the claims, is "rude" and immediately gets "1 star" review in typical fashion, until they are told what they want or are simply ignored, where they complain lawyers "suck and wont help them." In this instance the poster finds offense at being challenged as a college student renter on the motives behind a barrage of claims made as a tenant trying to get out of a lease. By example, the poster claimed that there was a "mold problem" where mold had infested the entire kitchen, all of their clothes, shoes and and walls in the rental. ODDLY, when the Landlord agreed to let them out of the lease to move, the poster DEMANDED A TWO MONTH EXTENSION to do so. Sorry, but ANY JUDGE will raise an eyebrow at that, as its absolutely inconsistent with legitimate claims that the mold is a health hazard as the basis to terminate a lease because the property uninhabitable. Why? ANY rational person would have moved out immediately, not negotiated for a longer stay in the same uninhabitable conditions. Then, when the LL only agrees to a 30 day move out, the poster immediately thereafter claims to have fallen on the porch, submitting an injury claim to the landlord for compensation for a "bruised leg". Sorry, but as a TENANT lawyer, the frequency, timing and nature of such claims, will likely be viewed by most judges as another of the many played out ploys used by tenants to leverage landlords for money or concessions in a tenancy that has gone bad. If being provided objective legal assessments hurts poster's feelings, and is "rude" well........., as I continue to state, so be it. I do not, and will not, frame my posts to pander to people sensitive feelings, find new internet BFF's through clients, and have no desire to treat clients as "besties" nor provide improper enabling or reinforcement of poor decision making, over providing rational legal opinion, direction to good decision making and practical guidance to resolve controversies if possible.
