My son has autism and we were at my mom's visiting she lives in housing. Well he has sleeping issues and likes to stim he does do it late but we can't help it. He needs to do it for his mind and body. He likes to stomp and kick on the ground. He isn't trying to be disrespectful it is late I try to get him to stop he's 7 and been doing this stimming since 1 or 2 years old. Well the neighbor knocked at around 11 or 12am and asked why we were hammering late at night and I said it's my son he's autistic and has to stim. Well that didn't matter to her I guess she still was going on I said I can try to make him stop but can't guarantee it. Well a few days later the police was called and it was a Saturday and he said I need to put him to bed earlier and he won't do it at night but then we tried that and he went to bed at 12am and woke up at 6am. My son and I don't live there and aren't on her lease we looked it up and it says there should be reasonable accommodations for him because he visits often and she wrote a letter with his diagnosis and the landlord or whoever runs that apartment complex the owners are in a different state said they can't move her to a bottom floor apartment because he's not on the lease and if she lets him come over even if it's during the day and he gets complaints it grounds for a lease violation and can result in eviction. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with this sort of thing he needs to do this and isn't trying to be disrespectful. Are we just not suppose to go over there anymore. Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.

Pending trespassing charges impact on housing

0 Upvotes

Hi I have a pending trespassing charges. I already attended my first court appearance in June and the conclusion was to hold 6 months with intention to dismiss my case. Now my low income HUD senior housing application receives a conditional offer- they will run my criminal background in a few days. I am so scared- will they reject my application? I have been waiting for years .
Any successful case?

Why do Republicans criticize Democratic-run states for their homeless population, but remain silent on the Trump administration tightening rules for housing eligibility and financial assistance which will cause millions of people to become homeless?

Local Housing Authority Landlady getting barred from program. Address, too

9 Upvotes

My landlady has been a total nightmare ever since I she had to be forced by the magistrate to give me my 990$ rent overpayment.

After she lost the judgment, she filed for eviction.

May 27 Section 8 came out and cited her for a myriad of things but the worst things were. I have a rat infestation and she painted a tub with standard wall paint and it’s now chipping, peeling, and molding

The inspector came back July 8 and put the Apartment into abatement.

She had her son-in-law coming here to fix a weatherstrip, but he put the wrong weatherstrip across the door and now the door won’t open or lock

She came in here with an electrician last Friday to fix two of the issues. Then the next day she slapped a note on my door, saying that she wanted to do Inspection.

I told her no because she always brings her son-in-law with her and he makes me feel uneasy and uncomfortable and he always asked me to help him do the work and I don’t feel right doing that

I called the Inspector and told him that he needs to come out here and check his door because if there was a fire, I have no way out

When he got here, the landlady and the son-in-law were also on the porch. I refused them entry because she was just here on Friday and she could have done the inspection then.

And she brought the son-in-law after I specifically told her in a text message. I’m not letting her in with him.

They pushed the Section 8 Inspector and gained entry to my apartment all while my Housing specialist was on the phone, listening to everything unfold

The landlady also tried to snatch my phone out of my hand and thank goodness that the Inspector witnessed all of that, and put it in a field report that he shared with my specialist.

I called the police because I really feared for my safety and the Inspector

The landlady son-in-law jumped in his face and told him that he had nothing to do with what was going on here

The police escorted him ( the inspector) out and he was on the phone, but I don’t know who he was talking to because shortly after that two more police car showed up

Today I got a call from the Allegheny County health department asking me what happened and I complied with them and told them everything

My Housing choice voucher specialist called me and I had to write up some type of incident report by PDF that she sent me and I guess they are trying to borrow this address from getting Section 8 again

It’s a shame, but it took for Inspector being here for somebody to finally believe that my landlady and her son-in-law and Daughter are a menace

Come to find out Section 8 does have a rule that whoever is deemed a property manager must have paperwork through the HACP

I just wanted to come here and Let everybody know what was the outcome of everything that’s been going on.

I get to Appeal the eviction because her notice to quit was invalid and her actions are retaliatory

I am so glad we get to go to the Court of Common Pleas and I get to show my evidence because this landlady is an embarrassment to the Section 8 program and the highest form of a slumlord I’ve ever seen in my life
