Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 1 years. My monthly rent is $2,677. I have a written lease.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
