FYI I spent fifteen years as a property manager for one of the bigger development/rental companies in the US and represented them hundreds of times in court in four different states. Judges are generally pretty hostile to tenants unless you bring a really solid case, and even then, if the landlord is making an effort to address your grievances they’re most likely going to side with the landlord (in my experience).
NGL it’s kind of refreshing when a scientist says “We don’t know.”
