They needed Marvin Zindler , Wayne Dolcefino and Emily Aiken on this place

[@JonasMatthewBahta]

If Marvin Zindler was still alive (he died actually 15 years ago yesterday), he would put on blast and this apartment would be quick to get the act together. RIP to him.

Agreed. They pay they rent on time. Greed God sees all. They think they playing the game to win yes ok 👌

[@richardthetroll6758]

They should of had a task force for this year's ago.. no reason to let it get this bad.. close the complex down till all is fixed..

That would be regulation something republicans and Texas doesn't do well and is proud of it.

How about the Park Falls apartments in West Houston the place has mold and lots of cockroaches I had apartment 705 and it was loaded with black mold inside the air conditioning Box and the cockroaches trying to kill them was ridiculous.

That’s some sad stuff

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

There are only two "models" to owning a car, or an apt. building. One is to practice preventative maintenance and maintain the value. The other is to run it into the ground and spend nothing on it. Landlords fall into one of those two categories. The trick is to avoid that kind of landlord, if you can.

[@KB-nt7eg]

You must have tons of choices and can afford a lot.

Where is code enforcement?! Where is the health department? Rats cause hantavirus. Roaches cause all sorts of health problems. Why aren’t the owners being held accountable? Is there a landlord-tenant association??

Okay. Her stove is filthy. Being clean can minimize the issues. If you leave grease on your stove they're going to be on it. 🤦🏽‍♂

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

Yes, there a lot you can do. I like my landlord but just rebuilt the entry stairs as he's so busy. Next, the toilet is coming out, but I'm handy. And I need a new entry door; the one now is an interior. But clean like japanese clean helps keep the bugs away.

[@alyssarodriguez5865]

I mean your right about being clean to minimize rodents but in this scenario their neighbors/whole complex is already infested with them. Being clean will not keep them out

Section 8 housing! It’s free, stop complaining!

[@CaroleMinxBlanton]

if you were below poverty level and given a place to live, you'd take it. It's better than living out in the streets. I don't believe Houston allows that anymore. These owners need to step up and quit taking money from the gov't and walking away ignoring the problem.

[@candylady618]

I don’t think section 8 is free. I believe they pay a percentage of their income to rent. They can even buy houses with section 8

[@Bnguyen276]

@@candylady618 yeah for lease to own homes. Just don’t get a strict landlord. It’s very easy to lose your section 8 voucher for homes. They are very strict on section 8 home rentals.
