slum lords

I moved into my apartment and noticed problems with mold and notified the manager, Claire. Nothing was done and was told it was just "discoloration". Finally when they came to look into it, her husband, the maintenance man sprayed the air with Tilex Mold and mildew remover. When I told him that I believed that was not going to be sufficient, he yelled in response stating "WE ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE WOOD!" The only reason he came by to check finally was due to my repeated request verbally being in front of "Very Important Business Persons". So they needed to be seen as "doing their jobs."
There were many simple repairs needed that did not get attended to for months. Yet they have time to get on it if you are late one day on rent, and demand their 25.00 late fees. I was told that other residents had mold that grew on their furniture and all they did was paint over it once they moved. Claire doesn't like it when residents speak to one another about tenant concerns, and will try and intimidate you into not doing so by writing false letters of slander. Claire is nice to her residents so long as you stroke her ego. Once you stand up for yourself she will find a way to get rid of you. Beer cans are found around the maintenence shed, and I was told that they were the "residents". Claire says that the residents, "do not care". I believe that the landlords Claire and her husband do not care, and care only so that it doesn't interfere with them being able to be slum lords and going to lunch. In addition, I was told that they wish people would come out of their apartments, but when you do, you are being watched and reported, so people stay inside. Also, they smoke always in front of the office and claim that no one smokes in the office, yet you cannot get into the office without the benefits of second-hand smoke. Many people are strong armed into doing their way of running the place, and those who are not are on her "good list". Once you are on the bad list, expect to see lots of notices written up and delivered to your door, especially fabricated and false ones. They have cameras on the grounds and favored residents who keep watch for them. Kind of like living in a communist compound. It is quiet not because of it being peaceful. Please do not move here, these people are slumlords, if you choose to move in document, document doccument. Or start a tenants union.
