On April 15, 2015 tenants and allies in Fresno gathered together at City Hall to demand that tenants are put on the agenda. Our coalition has two primary goals: address the blight of vacant, boarded-up properties, and make conditions livable for renters in substandard housing.
Hi my name is Abigail. I've been a Property manager for 6 years. I was first a Tenant and after 9 months and 6 managers I applied for the job. Last year it was clear that the management company was overcharging. They refused to refund all monies owed and forced me into continuing as though nothing was wrong not just my property but quite a few in LA. It made me physically sick causing me high blood pressure and deep depression. I voiced my disagreement in the company's position. The began treating me quite differently trying to write me up for silly things.
the other week, I realized that there was a rat in my apartment. I called the company to tell them about it and they informed that if I wanted a pest control to come out that I would have to pay for it. They sent over the maintenance man to put rat traps throughout my apartment. I refused because I have a cat and I could not risk her getting injured because of the traps. I called the management company again, and they refused to hire a reputable pest control company.
Local groups in Fresno, including Tenants Together, rallied to demand that the City force landlords to maintain their rental properties.
I live in Bakersfield CA landlord have been violations with code compliance....and...
We moved into our place a year ago, there were several issues like kitchen drawers missing or nailed shut. There are wiring issues, mold in our bathroom, the toilet is constantly leaking and now we are all sick. Ny 18 month old has bronchitis now. Code enforcement gave our original landlord 21 code violations. Instead of fixing anything our landlord sold the property and now the new landlords know about the violations and they have also not fixed anything. We desperately need to move into a new place, but will need help with the moving costs. Do I call a lawyer?
I have lived in an 1895 house for 12 years. My landlords have done little work on the house and there is no handyman. My ex husband and I have made this house beautiful. I am disabled and recently while getting much better, I got very, very sick. My genetic nutritionist said it had to be something outside my body as we had done such a good job on the inside. She said it could be mold and I took an online test that said I had mold (not sure this was a very good thing) and I am now waiting for lab work for mold.
We finally got landlord to come and see mold, mushrooms, slugs, fence fell down, deck unsteady, leaking room, flooded garage, carpet coming apart. The landlord first stated vacate in 30 days, will give you back deposit, give you good reference, 3-4 months to fix can come back then. Now you can stay, will do one day at a time. We have a one year old and don't want to stay. Shouldn't he pay for moving costs and cost to get into a new place?
