My husband and I moved into our house with our sons back in 2011. At the time of the walk through I had asked when the house would be cleaned as layers of dust covered the inside there was an obvious issue with mold in the master bath the and all the rooms with linoleum flooring had some kind of issue as the linoleum was not sealed at doors and so forth. They said it had been cleaned and no one was coming to clean again.
My leasing agent called me at the end of the 12 month lease. He placed a standard 8% increase and offered me to renew the lease for either 6 month or 12 months. I felt pressured. I resisted and said I'm going MTM (month to month). He said they don't offer month to month lease renewals, but he can do a 2 months lease. I said no. He said that they needed a commitment. He wanted to know why I didn't want to renew my lease. I said I didn't want to commit. Then came a different form of pressure - he stated "By signing a lease, the power is with you over us to prevent you from being vacated".

This is a senior's complex. We have fixed incomes. They used to increase the rent by $10 increments, now is $25.
I am 73 years old, I have been living here for 14 years and I always place my Christmas decorations during that time of the year.
Now, we have a new person under the tittle "property supervisor: and she took over the office of our Resource Coordinator and gave us 30-notice to remove all the "welcome" mats and any decoration.
Those decorations brighten our days, also represents our faith because we are Christians.
I have been living at this apartment for a little over 14 years.
We have different managers and different expectations.
We are seniors with fix income, however, the rent used to be increased by $10.00 increments, however, now, the increments are $25 (more than double)
The manager makes a lot of noise for the widow living below her (like taking showers after midnight)but she made the widow below her unit, to remove an American Flag she had on her patio.
i currently have a roommate who has physically attacked me, disrespects other roommates, has physically damaged the rental property, postures intimidatingly as if he may attack me again, constantly leaves food messes, runs drills and electric tools until 3 or 4 am, the landlord will do nothing because he and the landlords granddaughter have a child, now 3, together. The roommate and granddaughter are no longer together but the landlord does not want to do anything to lose her great granddaughter.
