I left some clothes into the common dryer inside the building. The maintenance staff trashed them without even reporting them to the manager. I want to be reimbursed.

Under Pressure From Tenants & City, Fresno Landlord Withdraws Illegal Eviction Notices

As recently covered in a front page Fresno Bee article, the Fresno Inn ownership served illegal 3-day evictions notices on all tenants.  In response, Tenants Together organized a community press conference condemning the evictions and demanding that the owner, Casa de Campo LLC, withdraw the eviction notices.

The Manager here she has harassed me and treated me terrible since I moved here a year ago. As of Friday she manipulated the courts into evicting me and my 8 year old Chloe.

This man and his wife have to be the worst landlords I have ever met. They promise to do work and never show up. The house is in disrepair. The two guys who live next to the house sell drugs and are on them. This was supposed to be an upperscale neighborhood. Well no more. These people would bang pots and pans in the middle of the night and tap on my bedroom wall. They actually came in the house while I was at work. This was so frightening. My dog was beat up by this jerk who came and went as he pleased. I believe he is also a drug dealer but hey no one in California cares.

Informed my landlord of a Mold/asbestos problem; amongst other health and safety hazards, he refused to do anything about it, after 2 weeks of living in the apartment ( I also have a 5 year daughter and pregnant) I eventually collapsed and was hospitalized. While I was hospitalized my slumlord had done a self help eviction and literally threw all of my belongings in the garage, changed all of my locks cleaned up any sign of mold, changed the carpet, and reposted my place on Craigslist. I lost everything I own, including any and all pictures and documents of my daughters and mine.

In January of 2012 my partner and I entered into a residential lease agreement to rent a bungalow style cottage in a quickly gentrifying section of Hollywood, known by it's residents as "East Hollywood" in an attempt to associate the neighborhood with the quality and conditions found in it's neighbor to the west, West Hollywood. Unfortunately, after signing the lease the numerous repairs and rehab issues which were on-going and promised to be completed before move in were suddenly stopped without notice.

Cleaned property and other services for landlord in exchange for rent, six months into it landlord decided to quit paying the electric, which also terminated the well water, refused to repair anything on the house which resulted in extensive mold, refused to reimburse us for any expenses. Evicted so landlord could sell property to new owner who is going to tear house down but not before he lead us on saying he was going to make the repairs.

The unit was infested with vermin to the point I had to move. Before moving the situation was so bad I could not sleep there. I obtained a safe place to live and moved out. Before moving out I had to sleep in my truck for several days. The vermin included, cockroaches, bedbugs and body bugs. No matter how hard I cleaned or the many times I bathed, the problem was not resolved.

I was sick for four months and spent a considerable amount of money trying to get rid of the problem. I am still trying to cope and will need further medical care.
