Xmas Rental Nightmare - Advice Please - Where To From Here ?

Why is your wife handing over money? What money and when?
Sounds like this woman is well and truly taking the piss.

PS Is it worth reporting them both to AFIP as well ? Because like Jorge Laguyas our lawyer ex landlord for three years plus they have of course taken the rent ''en negro'' and are not paying tax on it - I know everybody here does this but I am assuming this could get them into some more problems as well? I am assuming that as the partner of Zabaleta who is such a prominent lawyer here and apparently an ex JUDGE its not likely she can claim ''ignorance of the law'' when it comes to TAX EVASION/FRAUD ?

This is what you do: you report her to consumers defense. Tell her then that you have copies of all the keys you returned, including building's entrance and that you can show her what a destroyed apt looks like...

Nik - you read my mind - but I will reply to THAT one offlist lol

To be honest - I really HATE it that it has degenerated into this situation - I am normally the perfect tenant - I pay my bills, I do the right thing - and unlike most of the people I have met in this country I keep my word and my agreements - I have honour - and I TRY to do the right thing by everyone - always... BUT there is one thing about me - I am NOT the sort of person you want to make as an enemy - push me hard enough and long enough and back me into a corner - do what these sc@mbags have done: lie to me, cheat me, steal my money, break agreement with me - the works - and then be PREPARED for what it is going to cost you...

Ethics are polluted and diluted accross all social economic levels here in Arg. Judges are no different. Some are good others let narcos free, defend corruption, etc. The standards in Arg. have been unfortunately set a little bit too low for my liking. You might have had the wrong impression, possibly comparing the good old judge to those back in your homeland.

Yes - I think you got it in one there Nik - I mean literally his office looks like a judges chambers back home - from what I have heard he comes from one of the oldest and most prominent families here, ex judge and famous lawyer etc etc etc. So - I suppose I assumed that even though his woman is a lying thieving dishonourable cow that HE would somehow be different - I made parallels/comparisons between my country and here and sadly (as I know realize to my expense) they don't work.. If this guy really was a judge here all I can say is the only difference between HIM and the criminals I assume he sent to jail would be the judge's robes (assuming they wear them here ?)

Sadly, I think the only way to get your money back will be by 'persuasion'.

Don't you mean "persuaychon" ? http://www.openenglish.com
