four months ago we moved out of a 6th floor apartment that we had been occupying with our 5 year old fr the past 3 years. we always paid rent on time, kept t ourselves, and were friendly with our neighbors. and yet for two summer we were without A/C and two winters with little or no heat. The landlord was constantly in and out of the apartment to work on the roof, very inconvenient, frequently rented to criminals, would not fix our toilet, did nt allow any repairs, even minor ones and yet he would not fix anything.he gave other tenants a hard time when they tried to move out as well. he did however kick one tenant out when they were doing property damage, however, he has decided to turn around and sue us for proposterous claims! if we were damaging his property for the last 3 years woud he not have kicked us out then based on his prior doing so with another tenant? when we notified him of our intent to move, he turned malicious. he kept our security deposit which we did not fight since we had a cat (we put down $300 extra for the cat) and it was fair. my question is whether or not anyone knows how pennsylvania law will react ? are they pro tenants who are victims of slumlords? i am worried because the fact that he went through with suing us based on claims that he cannot prove (our lawyer even affirmed this) and are untrue is mindboggling. will any of the aforementioned things such as no heat, no air, no fixing things, be admissible? is it possible he can win? :confused:

The problem is that you went two years with this stuff happening before you reported it.

Now, it will look like retaliation.

I wouldn't worry, though. Move out.

If he wants to sue you, let him. Just videotape the entire apartment - really do a complete and detailed job - and hold up a copy of that day's newspaper or another way of validating the date.
