- When 12News first spoke to Petesy Adams, she said she had trouble getting the maintenance crews from the complex to clean the mold and fix water leaks in her unit.
Hell no ... They are trying to set her up for an eviction that's exactly what they're trying to do. Shame on the manager!
That's exactly what they're trying to do. They ate just waiting for a reason to get her gone.
and trying to fabricate a reason for why the mold wasn't identified and removed by claiming she "interfered" with the maintenance work.
I do not pity that woman....I mean just look at that METH MOUTH and those disgusting body TATTS! Wouldn't be surprised if she was tied to drug and gang activities and people and a baby momma on gov't benefits including S8! Visually with that meth mouth and those tatts it would not surprise me if she was bringing around an element that the apartment community doesn't want and you also cannot see outside of the apt community to know what side of town the apt community is located.
Black mold, is deadly, but they sure do collect the rent!
You commented EXACTLY what I'm thinking!
She needs to find a way to move out before they get sick. These apartment complexes do barely anything about mold they don't take it seriously.
Williams Az.
I know they are lying about her yelling because if they are there to do the work, why in the world would she then yell at them when she has been asking for them to come. These landlords ask for so much money and do the absolute least amount of work. Its all over the world like this
A data base needs to be in place so people can do background checks on the apartment owners and landlords. So people will know if they are renting from a slumlord
My complex tried the same nonsense on me. When after my incessant requests for a mold inspection, I was presented with a similar letter, accusing me of interfering in inspections. The reality: I questioned the shady looking tester on his credentials and licensing, and he grabbed his equipment and ran out like the Roadrunner cartoon!! Asking questions is the new "Harassment and Threatening" or "I feel unsafe from my PTSD and abuse from people interrogating and triggering me in my safe space.". 😂😂
Moral: Don't give up! I'm moving to a mold free unit next month!!
They sure do
Blame the victims isn't that something, pretty soon they will find a reason to evict her.
Omgosh, this family will have health problems for sure. Sue that landlord especially for lying about you not allowing the workers on the premises
mold remediation takes weeks to months... they have to dry out the structure, then sand down all the wood to remove the mold or replace the wood all together if its too bad. NOTHING takes place in a day or even a week. i used to work for service master and they arent even contractors, they are there to clean up water damage, not mold remediation. it isnt service masters fault, if mold is found, they are in fact required to tape it off and LEAVE and contract the job to actual mold remediation specialists. she needs to get a lawyer, the county needs to protect her from this landlord and she needs to sue the everloving hell out of them.
Why have they not arranged for her to move into another apt if they're so concerned? Or do all of them contain mold?
I have never met a good corporate landlord. My last one ignored the back patio issues when a contractor finally inspected it they wouldn't let my ex out there to get the patio set off. He couldn't believe that it hadn't collapsed. He called the county and we moved out. If you can, move out and document everything. Nothing is worth your health and safety.
This is pretty cut n dry, would of thought a lawyer been all over this.
How hard is it to make it right?
Someone needs to call S.E. TX legal services. And get that family moved to a safe place.
I see mold and I’m not there
They're definitely evicting her. Under the circumstances I like her chances with a retaliation court case.
My land just replaced the 50 year old roof on my apartment building it’s the original roof I saw pictures of patches all over the roof the patches lifted and the water went under them creating a leak in my daughter’s 3rd floor apartment when a piece was pulled down the inside of the ceiling is full of mold my daughter told her about the leak 2 year’s ago she told my daughter all older buildings have some mold in them 😳 our building is in the same state that this one is because my landlord is nothing but a slumlord. She replaced the roof and told us she might have to raise the rent I told her I’m not paying anymore rent this building isn’t worth it besides because she neglected the roof for so long she can’t raise the rent for something she neglected ‼️
Evil slumlord
Document everything pictures, audio, videos. Emails letters! Stack that proof and get your money back!
That is terrible 😢
Deleting messages are we ?
Move the lady to a safer apt ! Unless they all have mold.
Nice looking housing. Too bad slum lords manage it. The retaliation is nasty. Hopefully, she gets taken care of, and legal assistance to fight back.
She needs to record every time someone comes on the property to CYA against the retaliation from.the management. They are trying to build an eviction case against her for making them look as bad as they are already doin on their own.
They are in danger of having that ceiling fall in. They need the leak fixed and also new dry wall.
Call a landlord tenant attorney. File lawsuit. Also call health dept and code enforcement
Those are mold blooms you see,, spores are nearly invisible to the naked eye.. 🙏🏻
i’ve been dealing with a mold/mildew issue in my apartment since i moved in 3 years ago. i’ve been trying to get it dealt with and get answers and a solution but it’s been hard to get them out here because it’s a busy time of year for maintenance. today i emailed a summary of events and all the pics i had of problem areas with thorough descriptions. i have done my best to be patient and understanding but i’m allergic to mold and my allergy medicine hasn’t even been working despite me taking twice the dose. i got so sick the last time they cleaned a bunch of mold. i’m too scared to be assertive over the issue because i don’t want to get evicted :(
Record on video everything. And contact code enforcement. Get Brave. Research all the local laws for tenants and property managers and owners.
Video record every person who comes to inspect or work on the property. Cover your backside with video evidence.
Then sue the shit out-of them if they retaliate. Your HEALTH is more important than their feelings.
@@rhondaarnesen6684 it’s not their feelings that i care about, it’s the getting myself evicted or unable to renew lease when i need to that i’m worried about, i can’t comfortably afford anything else in my area. and these people probably won’t do much of anything. so i’m trying to be cautious but yes i’ve been documenting everything, i know i’m not allowed to withhold rent over mold in my state, and the only ppl that come here are the maintenance guys who work for the apartment complex. i am looking into my rights if they don’t do anything and i think i have to give them 60 days before i can try to take action. i will have to look into code enforcement guidelines and see if i can even call them
Mold kills people over time.
People don't know about filing an escrow with the court and paying your money to the court until the landlord actually fixes the damages.?!
Not common knowledge, and not all states have that protection for renters, if I'm not mistaken.
@rhondaarnesen6684 The more you know, the less you will take be able to be taken advantage of! Now, what one chooses to do with said knowledge is up to them! Change laws, get renters together, and fight! Voting doesn't always get results. Sometimes you gotta get dirty and stand up! Waiting for others to speak up for you sometimes can be not what you actually foreseen. Yes, there are people who pretend to want to help but end up doing more irreversible damage. You have a voice. A renter doesn't just sign some papers, take a tour, and get some keys and a parking spot. Know your rigths as a renter! Change some things to benefit you, the renter? Hell, ever consider a co-op? Knowledge intimidates the right people!
@@Sketchmedrawyou that's outstanding. I'll pass this information on to renters I know. I was crazy in 2015 and purchased a home after 3 years of shopping around. So I thank God the rental nightmares are a thing of the past. (especially considering the Army time I did, and the predatory behavior of renters near Mil bases! Got plenty put on the post's Off Limits category while I was serving because of their treatment of Mil Families renting from them!)
I've heard of getting an escrow account with the bank but not with the county. This is good to know
*the court*
Servicemaster said there was no mold? How much were they paid to say that?
Such a lovely woman.
This should NEVER happen!
Lawyer up.
Lying people sue them if there's mold in the other apartment s to black mole spore is deadly.pray people help her!
There’s no way “no mold was found” by the maintenance worker….that was an obvious lie since this video showed mold…that mold was there and the worker lied.
or the management didn't care. i cant imagine why a worker would lie about that. seems like a cool way to lose your job
Paid of to lie Good old boy towns everywhere.
So management let it get THAT bad ..and instead of fixing it ASAP now its so bad they would have to remove the whole ceiling smh now they have to spend even more money to fix it ...... Thats what they get. Which apartments are these , let's all go leave bad reviews 💯😀 so ppl stay away once they check those apartments ratings and comment reviews online! Hopefully it keeps ppl away. Reviews definitely have power too 😆
Someone could not tell the reported her bra is showing? How terrible and unprofessional of them. They could have told her. Never seen any thing like this before.
ITEX properties??? That explains it!!! Sad to treat people like this!!!
ITEX Properties, I take it, is a slumlord?
That lease violation notice from the apartment complex feels racist
It's not racist they're trying to find a way to justify evicting her in the next week or 2... Everything isn't about race.. 🙄
Stop bringing up the race card.
@@FlixCreEightR do you mean to say that I should stop pointing out potentially racist behavior?
Why? Do you think we should not hold each other accountable?
Definitely smell like they are trying to build an eviction case against her. Smell is stronger than the mold, too.
Racism is a by-product of Classism. They think she is too poor to afford to fight back. Hence, the retaliation and lack of maintenance to begin with.
All of the "isms" are a result of classism gone feral. Keep that in mind. You'll see even more of it now that you are aware. None of the "isms" would exist today if classism didn't occur first. It's all a sociological cancer, infecting everything it can consume, taint, and destroy.
There's White people in the working class also, and I'm sure this slumlord would treat em the same way, including the intimidating "lease violation" letter.
Landlords have their "methods" to place blame. I swear they keep little books to come up with retaliation. I just got one that I had said I have spiders etc. and blah,blah. Well..I have had trouble doing heavy work for a year and I am saving money to get help.which is very expensive and I have a choice...eat or pay for heavy lifting help. Even though one of the problems is clutter. I cannot lift but I can pick away at the boxes. BUT...the dumpsters at my complex are NOT up to code for ADA (disability) standards. he expects the government programs to do all trash tasks IF we are eligible for assistance. Well...I am but have to wait until...the usual channels approve. The manager has been threatening me in some very sneaky ways ! Pretty stupid to threaten me as when I tell the social worker the problem...this manager is going to be in trouble. I could take a small amount out daily of I could use the dumpster....but because the dumpsters are old, on uneven ground and unwieldy....I cannot safely do this using a walker and a cane. Maybe I will wind up in court but so be it. When landlords refuse to follow the laws, tenants should not suffer.
Sounds like an ADA lawsuit already made for you. Just need a solid lawyer who will take the case w/o pay until you win, and they can get a cut of it.
@@rhondaarnesen6684 100%
LAWYER UP PEOPLE.
so sad
Sue them, cease and desist
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Is there a father around anywhere in any of those homes or are they all single mothers with multiple children?
They need to move her to another apartment.
I get that the place is crazy. Why not just move out.
Take vivid photos
reminds me of yoak property's in ohio
Just come across the southern border illegally. Biden will give you a new apartment.
WHERE ARE THE BABY DADDIES. PAYING FOR A NICER PLACE ????
@aNYCdj, You sound so ASININE, right now! You don’t know anything about this lady, except that there is mold in her apt that needs remediation. You stereotyped her, without a backstory to support your rant. You should just STFU!
Ask your mama the same question
@@RegularBlackMom😂😂😂😂
Sorry but this video is only one side of the story. This is my apolitical take on it …
A simple websearch shows Velma Jeter Manor is privately managed government-subsidized housing (what used to be called “Section 8”). As such, it’s the government’s job to perform periodic inspections. Being the taxpayer basically pays to house these tenants, the least tenants can do is understand the gift that feeds them. This video was worth a thousand words in that, if anything, it totally belied the tenant’s credibility. She did violate the lease. Twice. She refused access for professional repairs to be made, and was belligerent to boot. Both violations are boxes on boilerplate lease contracts. She never refuted either, and only said she’d never committed a violation (or at least, got caught, prior to that), as if she was beyond reproach. Was there mold? Yes, there was mold. But when did it become known and did she already have a history of bad tenancy? The landlord tried to fix it, but she obstructed their efforts. Is she trying to game the system? Possibly. Statistically, there are far more crappy tenants than crappy landlords. And government-subsidized tenants who’ve got little skin in the game are the worst offenders. Liberal tenant laws have seen to that.
Too, I have to wonder how ‘income-qualified’ she really is if she could afford and prioritized to give her little son a big fat gold bracelet (that’s a security deposit right there), herself big gold earrings, and her also-gold smiling grill. If she really gave a damn about her kids and the mold was so bad, why didn’t she move?
Gold plated jewelry is prevelant these days...I guarantee it's not real.
@FR-tb7xh: the tenant is also a taxpayer and living in subsidised housing does not change that fact. A property that develops mould is sub-standard and should be properly remediated.
i think there's something wrong with you fam.
@@eattherich9215if you have no income you don’t pay taxes 😂
@@hoppingrabbit9849: yes you do. Never heard of sales taxes? You might want to educate yourself so that you don't make an arse of yourself in public.
Those tattoos look disgusting.
I’m thinking that lady is seeing ⭐️ stars 24/7 🤩
Has she looked for another place to live????
