Company Discrimination

I am currently residing here and although I am thankful to God that I have a place for myself and my children, I wish I never would have opted to live here. When I moved here two summers ago, things seemed perfect at FIRST. Then, I popped up with a noise complaint in my cubby hole from the landlord about a neighbor who said I was being too loud in the apartment. I was new to this place and didn't know anyone at the time let alone, I did not realize that you could hear through the walls in this apartment. I kind of suspected that the tenant was racist and didn't like me because I didn't identify with her seeing how she repeatedly slammed her door very time she saw me and even as I moved my furniture in. Anyhow, not long after, I got another complaint from the landlord again about the same neighbor and had to have a meeting with the tenant who kept complaining because I was told that I was going to be evicted out of my apartment if the noise persisted. At the meeting, I caught the tenant in a few lies about what she was hearing and she finally got angry and moved out. Mysteriously though, another tenant moved in and ironically told the landlord that she had a problem with hearing me through the wall and that she attempted to ring my doorbell/knock on my door which I never once heard or believe this person did. Nonetheless, I had a meeting with a life coach and the landlord telling me that this was the second tenant with a complaint and if it happened again, I was out. I was extremely angry and pissed off because I know the allegations between the two complaining tenants were connected either through the landlord out of retaliation and spite or some other form. Anyhow, some time went on and I began having problems with unsupervised children outside in the parking lot, utilizing it and tenants cars as a play area. I suffered a rear broken headlight that I reported to the landlord and it was never repaired. Furthermore, I have scratches all over my car due to the neglect of other tenant’s children playing on other peoples cars etc... Then, I got a new neighbor last year who moved in. They were noisy and loud at all different times of the morning such as 12am, 2am and even 3am. I was not the kind of person to complain about hearing another tenant because I understand that these apartments are extremely cheap and poorly built. But, I ignored the loud noise for 3 consecutive months until me and my 1 1/2 year old had, had enough and I finally made a report; especially because the management likes to play sides, discriminate and show biases if you don't identify with them....and this is exactly what they did to me when I raised the noise concern to management and even those above management. I told them this was supposed to be an equal and fair housing facility and I never imagined that me and my baby would be threatened out of our home for something I had no idea was a problem but when I raised my concerns about others, no one had anything to say and my claims were dismissed even though I had documentation from the police department and paper trails with times and dates. I will be moving out soon and I'm so thankful for the little things like the roof over me and my child's head and the food in the fridge but I can’t say I’m grateful or happy I live here at all. Maintenance even messed up by welcoming themselves in my home without knocking or ringing my doorbell, while I was standing right there. Then, the newer person that moved beside me started retaliating, being vindictive and falsified a noise complaint against me and my 2 year old after I documented evidence of what she had done. It is to the point that the life coaches are not built for Human services and the welfare of single mothers when all they can say and ask a person is WHEN IS YOU MOVING OUT? OR, JUST MOVE OUT IF YOU DONT LIKE I when they; (the life coaches) don’t know how to solve a problem the proper way. I feel like this, if that is all you can offer a person/ human being who has been through so much already in life then there is no purpose or point in running/offering a program when you’re not implementing and following guidelines fairly and equally. Additionally, they have video cameras at this place too and I can’t tell you how many times there was an incident with other tenant’s property that the landlord pretended not to see but when the complexes security gate got broken, they were able to view and monitor the cameras and hold someone accountable. In sum, your valuables and personal possessions are not safe here at this place; not even in your home. They have security alarm systems in each apartment but it's to the point that you begin not to even trust the staff members who know the code to disarm your alarm. I am a student, I work, and I bust my behind much more than many of the tenants who don't and I get harassed to attend meetings, meet with coaches, petty noise complaints etc.....but they continuously harass and seem to discriminate against the ones who either don't look like them, or who actually take care of their business. I also believe that to truly get their full attention, they want you to look like or be some broke down *** on the street on drugs in order to feel like you need to live there. I guess because I'm an active, intelligent college student without an IEP or some form of mental incapacity, I don't belong. Meaning in other words I am too "normal" to live here. I feel like this, why can't I just be a single parent who needs a cheaper place until I get on my feet? Why do I have to look or pretend to be a certain way? Personally, I guess their use to dealing with single parents at this place like that but when I moved in there and spoke up for myself, they couldn't believe I had the nerve to actually advocate for myself when no one else would. In conclusion, I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you absolutely have to live here and if you do, keep next door neighbors at a distance and be mindful of what you tell and who you tell because I learned and watched others manipulate and lie on others to get people evicted or even sanctioned from services dealing with grimy, shady people in the complex.
