"I have lived here for about 3 years, always paid my rent. It started with the roof leaking when it rained, I put up with this for 3 years, she continually promised to have it fixed, but kept putting it off, I had to brace the inside ceiling with 4x4's just so the ceiling wouldnt cave in on me. I have had mice for about a year, they literally ruined a lot of my clothes, I complained continually, and she said it was because I didn't take my garbage out enough. Here I was recycling everything, separating my garbage for the enviroment, but had no response. She did nothing. I also told her that her own house tenants were complaining of mice in the house, she still did nothing. My toilet leaks, and the shower leaks, it is creating a serious mold problem wich she continues to ignore, and I cant stress enough the problem with this black mold that is growing at this address, 10170 shady dawn ln. jamestown ca. 95327, almost all of my lights don't work, including the bathroom light wich is hazardous, I have told her repeatedly of this, but to no avail. The black mold in the bathroom is making me and my boys sick. There is no cold water to the house because the sink faucet is broken or maybe the water is not going thru it anymore, I dont know, but I told her, and again , no response. That was six months ago. She converted a garage into a studio apt. but I dont believe it was inspected. I believe she bypassed the building inspector, possibly because the fees, I'm guesssing. but anyway she also since I moved in, has rented out some rooms in her house, well the washer and dryer are in my apt. So two to three times a week sometimes more than that, her tenants knock on my door and want to come in to do their laundery, and this takes from 2-3 hours each time. When I first moved in the Michelle said that she would have to use the laundry during the week, but would set a laundry day. That never happened. Plus she moved other tenants in, and they want to use it, or should I say access my apt 2-3-4 times a week. I complained to her and she said she was in the procces of moving the washer and dryer in the breeze way between houses, that was about a year ago. Also they come in even when I'm not home, I don't like it, Ive complained, but she continues to let it happen, and won't move the washer and dryer. Another problem I'm having i , every day I have to light the water heater just to take a shower in my moldy bathroom, because the water heater just goes out for no reason, I have continually complained to her but nothing is done about it. Also in april of 2012 I was laid off from my job at sierra motors, a ( local chevy dealership), as soon as I got my last check (from sierra motors) I paid rent, and then I filed for unemployment, I had been at the dealership for over 5 years. So anyway it took about a month and a half to get my first payment, she threatened to evict me if I didn't come up with the money by the 5th of may, I told her that this was my first time being on unemployment and I should be getting a payment soon. To no avail, she persisted, and I had to borrow money from my parents to stay at this place. Well after I paid rent , she turned off my internet access, and said she couldn't afford it anymore, all the while her house tenants continually got it. I didnt even know until a couple of months later I asked one of her house tenants if they were still getting access to the internet, they said yes, and I then asked if it was included in their rent like usual, and they affirmed again (yes). I was shocked. Recently I begged her to let me have it back because I need it for my job searches. She let me have it, but I went for a long time without. I feel that my rights as a tenant and a human being have been violated. She recently asked me to leave because she had someone else she wanted to rent to, and honestly I'm ok with it because I want to move. I gave her these complaints in writing, and she decided to give me eviction papers. So it looks like I will be leaving soon, but I don't want her to get away with her neglect of what I have been paying for for the last 3 years, a decent place to live. By the way, the only reason I stayed for as long as I did, is because I have a dog, and she was ok with that, she has two herself. I have been wronged here and I'm hoping you can help me! By the way she said the reason she asked me to leave is because: when she decided to rent to me, I was working 6 days a week and now that I'm on unemployment, I'm home a lot and she can't afford me being there all day. My name is TONY SCHIRO and I live here for at least a few more days, "HELP" thank you sincerely"
