Tenant Landlord Dispute Resolution
Summary
In Ohio, tenants have rights under the Ohio Revised Code regarding rental agreements and landlord obligations. Landlords must maintain habitable conditions, including pest control, as per ORC 5321.04. Discrimination based on race is illegal under the Fair Housing Act. Tenants can communicate issues in writing and request that staff do not enter their apartment when present. Landlords must still fulfill maintenance responsibilities. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation

It seems you are dealing with a tenant-landlord dispute involving discrimination and maintenance issues. In Ohio, you have specific rights under the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) regarding rental agreements and the obligations of landlords.
Here are some key points:
- Ohio Revised Code *.*: Landlords must keep the rental property in a fit and habitable condition, including the extermination of pests.
- Discrimination: Under the Fair Housing Act, discrimination based on race is illegal.
For a more effective response, could you specify if you need help drafting a letter or if you need legal advice on how to proceed with these issues?

Dear [Landlord's Name],
I am writing on behalf of Ms. Cobb, a resident of Triumph Apartments. I would like to address several important matters:
*. Ms. Cobb was not yelling or aggressive toward staff. We must assume a lack of cultural understanding or worse, stereotyping or otherwise discriminating against a black woman with an opinion.
*. The bed bug infestation is known to be in multiple units throughout the community. Although the landlord is attempting to handle it, Triumph Apartments is failing to remedy the condition effectively.
*. Ms. Cobb assures that she will refrain from any conduct deemed problematic, as she has historically done. We presume the landlord will find this satisfactory.
*. Ms. Cobb will only contact the staff in writing and will not enter the Office/Leasing Office for any reason. Please note, abiding by these requests means staff cannot enter Ms. Cobb's apartment while she is present. This does not absolve the landlord of its responsibility to maintain her unitpursuant to the lease and Ohio law.
We trust that these matters will be resolved promptly and satisfactorily. Thank you for your attention to these concerns.
Sincerely,
Amelia

*) M was not yelling or aggressive toward staff and therefore, we have to assume a lack of cultural understanding or worse, stereotyping or otherwise discriminating against a black woman with an opinion;
*) the bed bug infestation is, to my client's knowledge, in multiple units throughout the community. Although the landlord is attempting to handle it, Triumph Apartments is, in fact, failing to remedy the condition (i.e. "treat it");
It looks like you need help drafting a letter addressing both discrimination and maintenance issues. Here’s a brief outline to include:
- Reiterate that M was neither yelling nor aggressive.
- Highlight potential discrimination concerns.
- Mention the ongoing bed bug infestation and the landlord's inadequate treatment.
- State Ms. Cobb's willingness to communicate only in writing and request that staff do not enter her apartment when she is present.
- Emphasize the landlord's obligation to maintain the unit under Ohio law.

*) As there are no corrections to make, we presume landlord will be satisfied by Ms. Cobb's assurance that she will refrain from this conduct as she has done historically.
*) Ms. Cobb will only contact the staff in writing and will not enter the Office/Leasing Office for any reason. Please note that abiding by these requests necessarily means staff cannot enter Ms. Cobb's apartment while she is present, lest she speak to them in a way that frightens their fragile dispositions. This does not absolve the Landlord of its responsibility to maintain her unit pursuant to the lease and Ohio law.

Re: Ms. Cobb's Concerns and Requests
I am writing on behalf of Ms. Cobb regarding several important matters:
*. Behavioral Misunderstanding: M was not yelling or aggressive toward staff. We believe this incident stems from a lack of cultural understanding or, worse, stereotyping or discrimination against a black woman with an opinion.
*. Bed Bug Infestation: It is our understanding that the bed bug infestation affects multiple units in the community. Despite the landlord's attempts, Triumph Apartments has not effectively remedied the situation.
*. Assurance of Conduct: Ms. Cobb assures that she will refrain from the conduct that led to this misunderstanding, as she has historically done.
*. Communication and Apartment Access: Ms. Cobb will contact staff exclusively in writing and will not enter the Office/Leasing Office. Consequently, staff must not enter Ms.Cobb's apartment while she is present to avoid any further misunderstandings. This does not absolve the landlord of its responsibility to maintain her unit pursuant to the lease and Ohio law.
We appreciate your attention to these matters and look forward to your cooperation.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
