This note must: wow! I`m so overwhelmed by all of this that I don`t know where to start. I have been a tenant for more than 3 years after the 1. Year Our apartments have been sold to another person, so the direction changes. The new management has given me a lot of time in this regard. 1. They have increased the rent from 3k from 10k to now 13k, without any improvement or improvement of anything that would justify the rent increase. We complained but still paid even though some of us don`t sign the rental agreement, but we still paid and we still are.
Many tenants who could not stand the management but still went up to date to ask for their deposits as we paid two monthly deposits and water and electricity deposits totaling 24500k. None of these former tenants got their deposit refunded and some even gave up following up because they realized they were spending fairer to beg for their deposits. Some still arrive and it`s very annoying because they are also not reimbursed because it was the trend. There are only four former tenants left, the building is literally empty and the owner is now making repairs and bringing tiles to all the vacant houses. Security has also become another issue.

When she complained, nothing was done and was even asked to leave if she was not satisfied with the apartments, and finally all the former tenants are reluctant to leave because they complain a lot and show the new tenants a bad image of them.

The last time he did this, I decided to go to the police, who told me to file a tenant harassment report, which I did, and the guard was arrested and forced to open the HSE.
but he refused, because he followed the order of his boss, who kept telling the police that I am not protected by any law to be open for the house without paying the rent beforehand. The Ocs ordered me to open my house and let my children in, as my landlord is wrong to have done so even without notice. He spoke to the Ocs, who later came with him to accuse me of malicious damage because the door hole had been welded. He now wants me to pay 12k for it and his case is not resolved, I wonder where I can get justice and how to get it. . Like the ETA, the bill provides that any agreement that relates to a condition of a tenancy is invalid in the sense that it claims: land economists respond to these questions.to sincerely its landlord has more rights than tenants, why do I have to pay service fees for land prices and rents when land is valued on a UPS basis?
