End Slum Lording

There are little to no laws protecting tenants who pay market value rent to live in a crap hole and the few in place the city doesn't enforce!!

Why is this important?

I have been stuck in a crap hole apartment for 6 years due to medical bills and unfair reletting fee from Spanish Oaks Apts who has fought me whole time from removeing from my credit, it doesn't look like a reletting fee so no one even with empicable work and renters history will rent to me asept one which crap hole is putting it nicely!! The living conditions have been hazardous to our health and has only added more health issues. If any one would take the time to leave there office and come see for themselves the condition of this property and do there job it would probably be comdemed!! From lies,false advertising, constant revolving door of unqualified manager s and maittance,to a owner transfer of one slum loard to another! Raw sewage every where that isn't properly cleaned or maitained to over flowing dumpsters, no working pool! Most apartments don't have A.C 's or heat, no hot water for weeks or months at a time. Broken or cracked windows and unsecured doors. Mold and foundation issues. Some people go week's and months without stoves and referators. Then if that's not enough than let's talk about how some people are nickled and dimed with high utilities bill that cost more than a 3 bedroom house and based off of lieing about sqft. and chargeing for minor's who are occiopent s. ( They should not be allowed to charge for anyone under 16) cause so have adults who aren't on the lease and don't get charged but, then you have a single mom with two kids trying to get by and by the time you pay 150 to 200 water bill there is nothing left to feed your kids!! I also believe that if people haft to go with out basics like hot water, electrical shorts , ac,heat,stove, referators,then they should get a discount for every month they went without! At this point they owe me a years rent for sure! No security lights, broken fence's, and broken security gates and no security which are all falsely advertised!!
