Well I have a leak in the roof in my laundry room which is a new adddition they added before I rented, anyways I touched by the leak and the dry wall just gave way, and I noticed mold. So I called a roofer to come out to tell me the exact damage and cost because my landlord would just sent a maintance guy and patch it , which I can tell they have done before. The roofer told me the whole roof where the new additions are had to be replaced.
I am facing an eviction which i feel has been illegally forced up on me by perpertrators that were denying me employment,healthcare, and humane living conditions suitable for children and raising a family. What happened was i was living as caregiver for my grandparents before they passed away. the house went into foreclosure after they passed away and since i didnt have job or wasnt attending college. I didnt have work experience which looked good for my resume to employers.
TO BE MORE SPECIFIC I HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF MY HOUSE WHICH I WAS STAYING IN WHICH WAS MY GRANPARENTS PLACE I WAS LOOKING AFTER THEM. THE BILLS I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO PAY. I DONT HAVE A JOB AND I NEED ASSISSTANCE WITH MOVING TO NEW HOUSING COMMUNITY. MY CREDIT IS NOT BAD BUT IT IS NOT GOOD. I HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH TO FIND HOUSING I NEED ASSISSTANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVENT EVEN FOUND PLACE TO STAY YET.
Right now I live in a nice place but have recently had a baby and now need to move. I am a section 8 recipient and am writing to voice my concerns about how most section 8 tenants are forced into low income neighborhoods because the owners of properties in nice neighborhoods don't want to rent to section 8 tenants. I live in Los Angeles and I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have heard a property owner say " we don't participate in the section 8 program or no section 8 or we don't accept section 8". I feel this is a legal way of discriminating against low income people.
