RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2018-11-07 | 4 | Approved Minutes November 7, 2018 Mr. Pena said the tenant has lived in the unit for seven years. He said that he wanted to clean the tenant's carpets but the tenant's dog would relieve itself on the carpet making that difficult, so the tenant replaced the carpet with flooring, and the owner offered to pay for the flooring materials, but not the labor. Mr. Pena said he would like Ms. Perez to keep the apartment cleaner. He added that her oven is out of order, and he's planning to get it fixed. Ms. Perez stated that her front door is drafty, her bathtub faucet leaks water and won't shut off completely. She said she is currently recovering from an operation and it takes her longer to clean right now, but she does clean. She said only two burners on her stove are working and mentioned a dispute over a parking space. She said she was amenable to the $100 increase from $1,200 to $1,300 as long as her repair concerns are addressed. The parties came to an agreement for a $100 increase effective December 1, 2018 and the landlords made a commitment to address a number of the concerns the tenant raised. 7-E. CASE 1144 - 755 Lincoln Ave., Apt. G Tenant: Samuel Johnson Landlords: Heidi Hausauer, Cassie Hausauer, owners, and Albert Pena, manager Proposed rent increase: $100.00 (8.3%), effective November 1, 2018 Mr. Pena said Mr. Johnson moved in about nine years ago, and lives by himself, although his family moved in at one point but are not currently there. He said Mr. Johnson requested laminated wood floors instead of carpet, which the owners have agreed to provide. He said there's an ongoing issue with parking with all of the residents. Mr. Johnson said he didn't mind an increase to $1,300 if the landlords would address some of his concerns. He said there are stray dogs that defecate on the property, and his neighbors cause vandalism and nuisance problems. He said he has had to call the police on his neighbors and fears he may have to use physical force to defend himself from them. He said he would like more security at the property and would like the tenants below him to not make so much noise. He added that he would like to be able to use the outside hose again, and he has had things stolen from his car, which is parked in the carport. He said that this evening was the first time he had heard that the landlords were willing to replace his carpet with flooring, and he was even willing to pay part of the cost to install it. He said that his neighbor's friend's car is parked on the property but the manager won't get it towed. He said he would like more lighting on the property because it's very dark. The parties came to an agreement for a $100 increase effective December 1, 2018 and the landlords made a commitment to address a number of the concerns the tenant raised.
