The conditions of these apartments are unbelieveable, I reported significant problems to them on a regular basis for six months and they never made any repairs. I called the local ordinance inspector out to my unit and he found major violations and deemed the unit unsafe. Needless to say I moved out 6 months before my lease expired because of their neglegence. I have to thank God that I could afford to move some place better. There are so many people who are force to accept these conditions because they either can't afford to or don't meet the criteria to live elsewhere. I really wish that more tenants would take action against these slum lords.

It seems antithetical that they would purposefully ignore the concerns of their low-income tenants or knowingly allow anyone to live in such deplorable conditions." Actually this is a pretty common practice among slum lords as they prefer to invest their money in buying rather than building good reputations. “Members of the owner/management group are known for supporting local family and children’s charities and for participating on local boards and commissions.
