Here a Notice There a Notice Everywhere a Fake Notice
We just want you to remember that you still didn't get your way; and regardless of what you may think your issues with the tenants you continue to harass at ALL of your buildings might come back to haunt you.
We're so sorry today didn't turn out as planned for you; perhaps you can go bury your sorrows in a bag of white powdery bliss?

Ghetto is as Ghetto Does
Notice from the photo that they did have the courtesy to write "broken glass" - duh. Why not replace the window? We're pretty sure that this is just another way to encourage existing tenants to move out, after all who wants to live in a building where nothing this serious even phases the management team? Shouldn't this be fixed already, how hard can it really be to call a glass contractor to come replace it? Maybe they're waiting for their team of illegals to come fix it? Who knows - it just needs to be fixed.

Mind you that comments that sound like they came from our favorite perjury queen won't be allowed, but all others will, including those posted by the management company in question.
We've only done this because Milan Management has been so sucessful in bullying their tenants into silence. Hopefully once we open up the comments to anonymous posters we'll hear back from some tenants.
In other news we've researched the listings that Milan Properties currently has on their roll, and it seems like we've found the location of the building in Northridge, CA, check out the complete inventory below:

Liar Liar Pants On Fire
Have fun reading the doc provided. This means not only did Milan Properties managing member lie on the stand, it also means so did her property manager, her lawyer, and Steve "the owner with the arsonist threats). Funny how the LAHD found that the apartment listed not only didn't have heat, they also found that 7011 Fountain LLC and Milan Properties both ignored the warnings from the housing department of such a repair. Not only that they actually considered sticking your building into REAP.
For those of you out there that have an apartment owned or managed by these people, and are having issues getting things repaired the LAHD complaints do work. We talked with one frustrated tenant a few days ago who said that Milan Properties had been reported yet nothing seemed to help, at least not yet. Seeing these letters from LAHD hopefully gives other tenants they need to file complaints as needed after all other methods of requesting maintenance have failed.
So Amy...which of your staff has allegedly telling tenants that they can use their connections to get onto the Section 8 list for a county? Isn't that a crime?????

Bad Tenants Ya Say? Who Bad Tenant....Who Might YOU Be Speaking Of Not... MOI!
After reading this one wonders if several restraining orders makes future harassment "foreseeable." Perhaps it's the multiple phone calls about the MULTIPLE instances of such harassment, maybe it's the fact that dogs barking 24/7, or perhaps the glass shattering @ 4:20am, or maybe...just maybe it's the constant band practice? We're pretty sure all these things constitute a "bad tenant", sadly enough the staff at Milan Properties let them all move in and even employ a few.
Bad Tenants and the Landlord's Responsibilities
|
Landlords are obligated to provide their tenants with a reasonably safe place to live. In many states, this duty includes installing smoke alarms and sprinklers for fire protection, and peepholes and locks for protection against intruders. What about protection from other tenants? Unlike the trespasser or intruder, the bad tenant, who disturbs or endangers other tenants, has some legal right to be on the property. An attorney with expertise in the area of landlord-tenant law can advise you on your state's law on this subject.
Lease Requirements
Most written leases of property require tenants to refrain from disturbing the other tenants. Some state laws also require tenants to conduct themselves in a manner that will not bother other tenants. It is the landlord's responsibility to enforce this type of lease provision, since the landlord controls who rents property from him or her. A tenant who consistently disturbs other tenants is in violation of his or her lease and may be evicted from the property.
Landlords may also include provisions in their lease agreements that explicitly prohibit tenants from engaging in illegal activities. If there is such a provision, and a tenant violates it, the landlord should move quickly to evict the offending tenant.
Foreseeability
Landlords may be liable to tenants for bad acts of other tenants if those bad acts were reasonably foreseeable. In other words, if the landlord knew or should have known that a tenant might harm another tenant, the landlord may be liable if he or she did not take actions to protect the injured tenant.
What does "reasonably foreseeable" mean? It is, of course, impossible to predict anyone's future behavior, but there are steps a landlord may easily take to screen potential tenants. We live in an age in which it is very easy to find out information about almost anyone, so finding out if a potential tenant may pose problems for other tenants is no more difficult than the credit and rental history background checks many landlords do as a matter of routine. Note that state or local law in your community may not allow a landlord to refuse to rent to someone on the basis of that person's criminal record.
A "clean" result on a background check does not necessarily mean that it is not foreseeable that a tenant may cause problems. There are clues that may be apparent after a tenant moves in that may make it foreseeable that a tenant will disturb or endanger other tenants. Some of these clues are:
- Persistent, excessive noise
- Numerous police calls
- Heavy traffic in and out of the rented premises
- Broken or missing security items (locks, alarms) in and around the leased premises
A landlord should act quickly when he or she learns of anything that makes it foreseeable that a tenant may harm or disturb other tenants.
Liability to the Public
In some cities or states, a landlord may be liable to the public at large for criminal acts committed by tenants on the landlord's property. Penalties may range form monetary fines, to revocation of a landlord's license, or even condemnation of the property in extreme cases.
A landlord needs to keep a close watch on his or her property in order to avoid liability. The days of the truly absentee landlord are over in communities that make a landlord accountable for his or her properties. Careful screening of potential tenants, along with swift action to remove problem tenants, should help a landlord to avoid liability for tenants' bad acts.
Conclusion
The responsibility of a landlord for the acts of a "bad" tenant varies from state-to-state, and even in different communities in the same state. An attorney with experience in landlord-tenant issues can analyze your situation, and tell you what you need to know.
