Jackie

Hello, My name is Jackie Blair, I am a widow and currently disabled because of a lung disease. I had to move out of my previous apartment because the landlord sold the property. I only get disability payments and my husbands small pension from Veterans Affairs, and I am on section 8 housing assistance. There was just not any safe places for me to move to, most were in crime ridden neighborhoods.

Shellie

I rented a 2br apt from JD Home Rentals in Fresno, CA. I lived there for 5 years; always paying my rent on time. Always. If it were not for the low rent, I would never live in such a horrible place managed by such horrible, unlawful, and flat out uncaring individuals; including and especially their attorney. If I were to list all of the ways they "wronged" me, I might as well be writing a novel(non-fiction, of course). There were mice and cockroaches; many, many cockroaches. I complained many times to deaf ears.

Susan

I rented an apt in a new complex close to my office. AC unit leaked into my unit destroying a piece of carpet. Management would not do anything to cure the problem but put a dehumidifier in unit using my electricity and intruding for over three weeks. They decided they fixed the problem however husband and i got sick from the wet carpeting that was never really dried out. I called building owners to yell to rip up area of carpet and finally they did to find black mold under carpet and along carpet tac strips.

Denise

Brought to the attention of my manger and the management company that my kitchen floors has spongy floors and has a speed bump in it. After she brought in 2 contractors i was told it was a huge expensive job and she didnt know what to do with me. One day i was able to get into the area below my unit and it was horrible, black mold growing everyhwere, ceilings collapsing, insulation showing everywhere and a big pipe that wasnt just dripping, it was running like a faucet.
