Apartment tenant action in Linda Vista
To the "journalist" commenting above, who can't proofread or properly use basic syntax and punctuation, and yet has the arrogance to criticize other people's mastery of English when it isn't their native language: No one stays in that type of situation by choice. It shows an appalling lack of compassion to have the audacity to say "why don't you just move" to someone living paycheck to paycheck like an astounding number of people do, and who certainly cannot afford a rent hike for better housing, let alone a deposit + first & last months. How out of touch with the economic reality facing a growing number of Americans can you possibly be? And that is besides the point. People shouldn't have to move out of their home because it is not properly maintained by its owner. That's how property rental works. When you choose to rent out a residence, and you decide on the price tag, that is the price you agree to charge for a home meeting the conditions of habitability outlined in the local codes. NOT a starting price for insalubrious housing that you then plan to increase if the tenant dares to ask within their rights for repairs or interventions to make the place livable--which it should be in the first place, at the agreed-upon price. Those slumlords prey on the most vulnerable of us and rob them of their dignity, possibly of their health in the long run, and of the basic sense of safety they should be guaranteed when they trade their earnings for shelter every month.— April 30, 2016 12:04 a.m.
