So here's the deal, there is a 3 bedroom one bathroom house in a used car lot. The home was rented as a 3 bedroom with a complete loft for a 4th bedroom. Now the problems with the house are as follows:
-little to no insulation throughout the home
-no power to upstairs loft
-severe black mold in basement
-septic system backs up and floods basement every 2 months
-hot water heater doesn't work
-%50+ of windows painted shut
-Bathtub and kitchen sink do not drain
This is the best of the 7 properties this landlord owns, one of the others is literally faling down. Landlord refuses to fix any of it.
Called County, Village, and Health Dept. all refuse to do anything because "people can live however they want" and "as long as people keep renting from him its legal". Are there no regulations for rental properties? How can they allow these living conditions?
The thing you find around here is rent is extremely expensive so most move in to places like this because they think they are getting a deal and then cant move out because they cannot afford anything else.
