Didn't read the whole thread. What were the conditions when he moved into the apt.? Has there been any change since the move in?
cbear : She covers houston and surrounding areas couldn't hurt
cbear : Does he know if it's in other apartments? There's a new task force that hasn't formed yet but they are forming in Houston that you will be able to call to get your apartment inspected. There may already be one now that I think of it. But he definitely needs the city to come out there. That is unbelievable.
cbear : So sad. Lack of maintenance is a common problem with apartments. Contacting Grizzy's Hood News may get faster attention.
cbear : Is this a house and leased with the seller directly or a management company? If it's an apartment complex management situation? Either way I would have my contract handy and read it thoroughly, take photos of everything and send a email with everything attached including all pages of the lease or agreement. Date stamped and time if emailed and certified mail. Keep a paper trail file for his records. Lastly, does he have an early termination clause written in his lease? If so, address that in writing that due to explaining uninhabitable conditions in the correspondence request detailed maintenance needed.
Slum landlord advice needed. My son has had it and wants to break his lease. The bathroom conditions are deplorable. He has reported it, reported it and reported it and nothing gets done. It is dangerously unhealthy. We need as many resources as possible. I have suggested reporting to BBB, Houston apartment association. He is going to threaten to take these pictures to places such as Yelp, google reviews, **** consumer etc. I am attaching pictures so please scroll but I warn you...a bit shocking. Thanks for y'alls help.
cbear : I hope your son can get out of his lease.
TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Thank you. When he does..they better look out because we are going to put the word out there about them. No one should have to live with this health hazard.
That black mold , your son is in a bad place,
he get those pictures to the right people they would condem that place. Tell your son he needs to not stay there.
