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. When i brought this up to owner and managers attention i was served a 24 hour notice to enter and inspect and 3 hours after that landlord served me a 60 day notice to vacate. I have had code enforcement out and she's being written up for the floors and now Fair Housing is taking my case against her for discrimination. Turns out YOU CANNOT EVICT a tenant if they have asked for maintenance and/or repairs within 6 months of landlord taking her action against you.
