I have been living in this building for almost 5 Years now and have loved it. All neighbors get along and hang out together, we sit in front of the building and talk to one an other we play cards and bean bags together. Have cook outs together. Well we did before about a year ago. It was like we were all one big family, and when the landlords needed help or were goin out of town we all chipped in the take care of the building together. Because we cared like that. Like I said all up to a year ago when the building got a new owner. Since then lots of rules have come throu, crazy request aswell and weird things happening.The rent went up over $50.00, and we had to signed was a peice of paper stating if we were agreeing to month - to - month, 6 months, or one year. No actual lease. Our landlords were givin a 30 day eviction notice, so that is no job and no place to live in just 30 days, just like that, and no reasons why. They tried to contact that owner and got no return calls or messages except for that the job is covered and the apartment is already rented. Well now they have been out for almost 2 months and the apartment is still vancant and there is no one taking care of the building or the lawn but us the tenants. I myself water the lawn, just because I care about the building and I want it to look nice where I live. My neighbor has put a bid in for taking care of the mowing and tree triming and nothing came from it, he even did the work and still not even a thank you to any of us for our help with keeping up the building. One of the owners employee's has been charged with mulesting a girl, and turns out he was a unregister sex affender. The pool has been shut down for over a month and come to find out that the State Health Department shut it down due to a communical disease. No tenants we notified of even the pool closing in general just a notice on the gate from the Health Department. There is a $50.00 charge if we get locked out of you apartment, and owner of the building lives in one of buildings. All apartment keys are not kept on site. $250.00 fine and eviction if any pet that is not on the lease is even cought visiting the apt. The new owner is very earrey (probly spelled that wrong) but he makes someone not feel comfortable to even be around. When we are outside and he happends to drive by he will speed up when he goes by. Him and his employees do not talk to any of the tenants and all his employees have been instuted not to (by him) even be friend with any tenents.
What do you think? Is there any thing that I can do that is not going to threting my living in this building? I have never wanted to move so bad but just not in the right place to move right now. He has changed all views I have on ever renting again that I just want a house that I own and don't have to worry about getting 30 days to get out.
