Hey guys, I figured I'll ask for help on behalf of my sorority sister. She needs a property lawyer because her apartment complex won't pay for repairs that were caused by Ike. She has been approved by FEMA to move out but her apt complex still won't pay for the repairs. She doesn't want her credit to be ruined because of this. Anyone know a good property lawyer? Thanks!
Has your SS checked in with TAA (Texas Apartment Association)? They might have something to say about it, or at the very least, she might be able to file a complaint with them...
i don't handle this sort of thing...but have her call the houston lawyer referral service through the houston bar association. she needs a lawyer who can handle landlord/tenant disputes and she should mention that on the phone call.
This seems like a cover your ass situation. If FEMA has deemed the apartment unlivable, that seems like enough to go to small claims court on. Just have her document everything.
