Capital Residential Equities

Since moving into our rental property at *** Street in June all of our utilities have had catastrophic failures. The landlord, *** and the manager, *** have made repairs using unlicensed repairmen and without pulling the proper permits.

In July, our water line was corroded between the meter and house. Mr. sent out a one-man crew to trench the yard and reconnect the water. We were displaced from our home for two days without compensation.

Three weeks later our electricity began to fluctuate, resulting the light fixtures blowing out, lack of AC, loss of refrigerated food. Again, they sent out an unlicensed worker who cut into the meter and then rewired the circuit breaker without ever pulling a permit.

Most recently, we smelled gas. We filed a maintenance request and like always, Mr. sent out an unlicensed repairman who assured us the house was safe. Over the course of the next week I felt lethargic and ill. My coworkers noted how I came in each morning looking quite pale and out of it. We left the house for a weekend camping and when we returned the gas smell was stronger than before. This time we called the gas company. The inspector they sent out told us the furnace was not to code and that the gas line in the house was not holding pressure. They turned off the gas until the repairs could be made. That was last week.

We told the manager, *** that the house was not suitable to inhabit without hot water and heat. She disagrees despite what Fair Housing says. We are still without gas.
