LA Fire department condems my Apartment!

NEON DEON · 01-30-09, 12:58 PM

Oh boy my $2,400 a month apartment has been red tagged by the L A Fire department and I have four days to move. Geesh! In fact, they red tagged 43 other apartments in Park Lebrea too. The Rat bastard Park Le Brea management knew about the situation a month ago but did not bother to pass on the information untill the LAFD's second follow up inspection came in and red tagged everyone! Bad electrical wiring thru out the apartment and old appliances.

Then to top it off Park Le Brea offered us another apartment. One that when we moved in 3 years ago was $500 less than the one we rented. When I sited that fact and asked if they were going to charge me $1,900 they said no it was $2,400 because the aprtment had been renovated. Thats what they told me about the aprartment I am in now. Funny how that works.

Any chance you can sue this guy? Atleast in small claims over the cost of having to move.

Wow that sucks... feel sorry for you. Hope you can work something out.

On the bright side at least it was a rental.

Got a new saying for you ... "California.... GTFO !"

Whats this I hear about California witholding tax return checks?

Man Deon it sounds like you're getting hosed......Maybe consulting an attorney could help you out on moving costs....They have to be negligent on no advance warning.......Good Luck my friend

Well it turns out they have to pay for my move, refund the entire deposit and pay for my next months rent.

So its real damn annoying but they have to pay.

The other drawback is I have to pay for everything and then submit it to the property management company to get reimbursed.

If they dont play ball then, I will have to sue them.

Look on the bright side! Atleast now you wont have to worry about the place burning down if you turn the Bass up too loud

Yep they are going to send us an IOU for our state tax returns.

I am wondering if you were self employed and filed every quarter that you could maybe send them your taxes less the refund
