Disabled, on DRIE (just renewed another year), stabilized apt. in bldg. run by anti-homelessness org. Sole tenant almost a decade.
So LL could be worse -- but the day I get back from long hospitalization/recovery it's exterminator day, & this turns into an un-notified inspection of other things, then my 1st-ever citation for "clutter." (Apt. untouched since being carted off by ambulance, knocking things over, a little food left out, etc., but largely similar to how it's been every other inspection.)
The letter LL stuck in my door late last week doesn’t cite conditions to cure, just "clutter," seems arbitrary. The nuts around me who don’t shower or let the exterminator in increased the roach population here, I had animal attacks from one neighbor & made noise complaints about the rest—nothing happens to them. Maybe it’s easier to smack 1 person down, or maybe a new staff person saw 1 roach & doesn't know a structural defect since day one keeps the main door from opening completely.
So, question is, what are their real rights to enter/write me up? Don’t they have to specify when they do? Letter quotes lease paragraph that they can throw stuff out & charge me if I don’t cure(... meaning what though? No specifics). Hope that’s worst case but right now I’m going to hospital/drs for follow-up like every day & LL gave me till next Tuesday, I'll never get things perfect by then. Can't be upright too long on a good day. & now I'm flagged the bar is prob. higher. Is there a standard?
This LL routinely enters apts. for non-emergency inspections (belongings used to disappear from apts., it seems better now), routinely gives no notice/not enough. In this case there’s no way I could’ve prepped anyway, was in hospital. But the worry is there's no standard, it’s a judgment call.
