Is your landlord aware of this? If they are and still charging you a late fee, why not try and move somewhere else? I wouldn’t be putting any extra money in their pocket.

Did you look into any state programs for rental assistance? Did your state offer any guidance for renters?

How long did you live there?

2 years, we didn’t have problems until the second year

Nope not at all! The burners on the stove weren’t working correctly. Example: I could put something on low and it would heat up to HIGH, even if I did the opposite, it would still be messed up.

The washer broke, the garage door wouldn’t open sometimes etc

and we had to pay EVERY single time, $75, even when they had to come out again for the same issue. So we said fukk it and started cooking on a flat hotplate

Did you read the contract beforehand?

Items damaged from wear and tear should be covered by the landlord.

What a shame

You probably could’ve rented a steamer and cleaner the carpet for less than $200

It takes money to move and CARES only applies for government backed loans.

My landlords took money from a bank not the government so they say.

CARES Act requires you, the landlord and the state I believe.

If the landlord doesn't want to do it, they don't. I live in an apartment community, not some rando house lol.

What state are you in?

Did you look into any rental assistance programs offered by non profit organizations?

I understand it takes money to move, but really consider moving somewhere else when you can, because no landlord should’ve been charging late fee.

If you live in Philadelphia

Temporary Waiver of Late Fees
