OK, so 3 months ago, my sister and I moved into one of the housing units in my home town. So far we have had 3 complaints about noise, 1st was our neighbour could hear us partying. The 2nd was when someone was banging at my door trying to get in. And the 3rd was my neighbour is claiming one of my guests damaged their vehicle. And now people are telling me I should appeal it, and what exactly does appeal mean, is this the best way to go about it? So the 2nd complaint is not really my fault I don't recall anyone trying to get in, and as well as the 3rd complaint because I had no clue what they are talking about up until yesterday. I have talked to housing yesterday, and the manager explained that I can go to the board meeting next week and talk with the board members or appeal it... so what should I do? I live in a very small town, and there is one place that have apartments but there are no apartments available until next month. And I have less than two weeks to vacate. Answers plz.

Having managed apartment complexes in california I know what a hassle you are going through. The partying always brings about noise and will irritate some people. The vehicular damage may be something that can't be proven to have been done by one of your guests. At this point an appeal would seem to be your best route. That would mean going before the board and explaining your side of the story. And asking them to reconsider. Also, you might just ask for a stay of eviction allowing you to remain where you are until the new apartment comes open. I would also suggest that the person(s) who complained about you may have been long time residences of the apartment complex and their word may be accepted as cause for you to be evicted. In that case you might consider less parties and noise until the issue is resolved. If you signed a contract before moving into the apartment and are considered to have violated that contract you may have a problem with the board. Just hope they are of a lenient disposition. Good luck.

sounds like you might consider buying a place in the country to avoid close neighbors so that your life is more private. check in with a local real estate office who handles rentals as well as places for sale. But better yet...there's many new loans out there for first time home buyers who have little or no down payment money. The Realtor will have knowledge of lenders in your area who will walk you through the loan process. Since you are living on your own, why waste money renting when you can be building equity in something YOU own. But, it takes a responsible person to make that important decision. Are you responsible? I would hope so.

If you decide to take it to court, they can't charge you rent until the court procedure is through. This means that you can live rent free by law as long as you are in court. Drag it out for a month and then drop the appeal. That'll give you time to get another place. (I've seen this kind if thing dragged out for a long time.)
