landlord shows favoritism (Needles, Ross: apartment complex, rent, tenants)

[diety]

i've lived in same low-end apartment for 7 yrs...i've filed an annoyance complaint w/apd over a tenant who lives across from me..this partic tenant is beloved in the eyes of the landlord..in that aspect,the landlord has lost many tenants due to siding w/the annoying one..my question is,how many tenants does it take,for me to step up and issue a federal complaint against this one-sidedness?

Good luck with that. I had a similar issue when I first came to CA and lived in a ratty apt complex; the landlord was of a certain ethnic group and the tenants who were GROSSLY OVERCROWDING the apt next to mine were of the same ethnic group. Needless to say, all my complaints fell on deaf ears.

Save yourself the hassle, time and expense of pursuing a complaint and apply that same energy instead to finding yourself a better spot to live. I sincerely wish you the best of luck and remember; "this too shall pass!"!

The Federal courts will not force the landlord to like you and they cannot force the landlord to be as nice to a tenant he does nto like as he is to one he does like. But if you actually got that many people to support you, you could just take over the government and pass a law stating that everyone has to like you and treat you as special. Short of that you can move if yo do not like the landlord.

Now if you are a minority and you have actual evidence of real racial discrimination by the landlord, you may have a shot.

There is nothing you can do about it other than move. I have dealt with many, many landlords and have come to the conclusion that they are almost always alike- they will deny/lie etc when you complain about another tenant. All they care about is collecting rent checks they could give a rats a** if you are kept up all night by a neighbor or whatever else you complain about.

I would just move. A new apartment complex with new management and new neighbors. Problem solved.
