The tenants here at Vinage Palms Apartment have been enduring horrendous coditions for years. He has been cited by code enforcement numerous times but egnores the sanctions and the order for abatement. The has gotten recent media attention on kmir6 and the Desert Sun.. aWe got the City involved and opened cases with Fair Housing. We have requested the help of City Hall in Indio. They are still violating a State law by contiuing to collect rents and issue Three day notices and this is a violation of California Civil Code 1942.4. Im working close with outher tenants to help them as much as I can but it occupies akot of my time and I have 4 children andd its alot of work but fir me its worth it. I just found out about 1942.4 and it was written out by Fabien Nunez and Grey Davis. It is a law designed to make immediate remedies for tenants dealing with a slumlord.
