Not lied about their intent to sell Not attempted to threaten me Not attempted to let themselves into my home without prior consent or notice, I would not be suprised if they actually did let themselves in without my knowledge too. They could have repaired serious problems (no hot water) in a immediately rather than not repairing them at all.
