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.

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.

Raymond

It is very simply. I have lived in this house for just over three years, and have never once been late on my rent, and always paid the full $900.00 a month. I have not damaged the house in any way. I have let the back yard go, because I became ill and could not afford to hire anyone to keep it up. My landlady lives right next door and spys on everything I do in the yard. My ex-wife visits here part of the time,to help take care of our Grandchildren and she is 100% disabled through the social security, so she cannot do very much in the line of yardwork.

Lynn

I moved into an apartment in Jan 2006. From day one, it was a hassle...everyone had storage units and when I asked which one was mine, I was told that I did not get one as I was a single tenant! I found out that my storage was being RENTED out to someone who did NOT live in the building! Then I told the owners and manager about a leak above my unit for almost a year and some months. One night I awakened to water pouring from the ceiling onto my furniture, belongings and soaking the carpet!
