It couldn't have been that bad, you lived there for 4 years! If it was so horrendous why didn't you call the Board of Health or the Twp. Building inspector? Probably because you you broke your lease and didn't receive your security deposit back so now you have and axe to grind!!!

No, I DO NOT have an AX to grind, I Am just stating the facts. I did not break my lease, I had to live here for 4 years just for the convenience of the locality of the apartments to my work, But if I had to do it over again I would drive further to goto a nicer home. (Bigger & More Pleasant)
