The landlord company will not fix up property, says if we don't like it move. says she has no money. 24 units times $730 = $17,520 a month, why can't we get things fixed. All units have 3 dimensional mold complete from one side of walls to other side of walls. Told by owner fix yourself. All 24 units in same condition. Floors fall in because of termites and boring beetles and carpenter ants. All bathrooms have mold and all floors weak. apartments are so bad that all are settling and floors and walls are either tilting or falling in. Insurance representtive saw personally because I showed him. Cannot get health department to help, housing authority will not help code enforcement will not do anything. Property is not kept up, will not replace broken items ie: stoves, dishwashers, windows or anything else that breaks, says you don't like it move. Given notice from city to cut down dead trees, offerd by tree cutter to do for $300 and was told she will only pay $100, tree is 40ft and next to building. property is grown over and trashy, will not pay over $35 for mowng and grounds upkeep, approx. 1 1/2 acres. Tennants required to keep up front yard but will not alowed to water. Tennants have been told that they cannot shower but 2 times a week because water bill is to high. We have tried to get help but no one will help at all. City will not help, and we have approx. 30 children below age of 13 who are sick and going to doctors all of the time. I am caregiver for a Mother, 90 yrs old and daughter with MS an Parkinsons and they are sick all time. We are moving in Nov to another home, my VA home loan is helping but need to get help to force these people to take responcibility for property and get these fixed. there is more than you can see here so am asking for your help to solve this slum lord problem. We all have right to live safe and not have such bad living conditions. All city and state department have excuses as to why they are not responcible and will not help, always refer to another department and hang up. I have been threatened by these departments that I will be reported to police for harrassment if I do no stop bothering them with this problem.
this has been this way for 4months how about a slum lord

I have lived here for 3 years. Worst place I have ever lived-it's a fight to get anything fixed. I am fed up with trashy neighbors and cars parked on lawns and mold. We are moving.

Now, imagine finding out all of this after they have collected your 1400 to move in as their "manager" while they are still running an ad for a new manager knowing that they can evict you for any reason and keep that 1400 because you signed a 1 yr le

Now, they are suing us for over $1300. Some examples are ; repainting, soiling carpets, re-caulking bathrooms. Come on, we lived there over 5 years. I feel your pain .

Building inspectors came 2x a year and told them what needed to be fixed. Somehow it slipped through the cracks. 2x a year rent increases. Numerous certified letters, phone calls, and nothing was done. We couldn't take it anymore.

Owners are: HWONG RAY-FAR & HWONG ANN YING CO-TRUSTEES . Perhaps if more knew who was behind this you could get some action. It's a shame a landlord would not do preventative maint. to keep their property up to code.

landlord, you cannot evict a person who wants to have living condiytions brought up to standards. If you do you can be sued for retaliation eviction. As long as my rent is paid and I am current on all then you must repair all to proper living conditi

Be prepared to be evicted soon, cheffie. It's what happens to fools who squak too much about their rental units. In the meantime, look for your rent to double. Blahahahaha. Send this, too. HAHAHAHA!

I have been here for aout 5 yrs. I was the maintenance repair here until I could not stand it anymore. These people are so cheap, they will not repair anything until athorities are called. They always say no money,

You are so right about all of this. Molds, mildews really bad here cannot locate source. Floors really bad. They raised our rent when others didn't due to economy. Greed. Not everyone can afford to up and move right now. fixed right wouldnt need repa

You ASSume a lot, Hud Duh, but you're totally wrong about me and my tenants. No, I wouldn't subject my tenants to such atroicities, but that doesn't change the fact that landlords raise rents when they have to make too many repairs.
says ... on Saturday, Sep 19 at 5:01 PM
To Landlord-nobody would willingly want to live in this filth no matter how chep the rent! If this is how you treat your tenants you are a SLUM LORD!!! Your comment is totally absurd and stupid! You keep your tenants in filth and see what happens!
says ... on Saturday, Sep 19 at 12:16 PM
Once your landlord fixes those things, you can expect your rent to rise a lot. Is that what you really want? Keep complaining and see it happen.

Call HUD thats what we did when we had same problem. If legit HUD takes over and sues the landlord! Thats it! We won ours!
