Landlords usually don't have to give a reason for a non-renewal, but it's illegal for them to retaliate against tenants in certain cases.

    If these apartment complexes don't want negative reviews or feedback, they need to clean them up and fix the issues, simple as that. Rent costs way too much everywhere to deal with all the issues at apartments.

    His complaints seem valid when looking at the images he shared !!!

    The landlord messed up by giving him a reason for non-renewal. No reason needs to be given.
  • Trust me, he's paying more than enough rent to have hardly any issues. Channelside apartments are in the 3000$ plus range a month.
  • @Aeorocks
    To the people saying "just leave," maybe he just wanted to fix the place to make it better for him and all residents.
  • @MaxwellMax
    Another reason why it's better to own then to rent.
  • @kisnhug
    Well. No one will ever rent at that place. ❤Thanks for the heads up ❤

    In other words, the land lord, or manager, is ignoring their responsibility for building maintenance and if people complain, they can be kicked out!! It's freedom, but freedom for who! Freedom of speech, but freedom of speech for who? The apartment manager has free speech, but the renters do not!! It's the real America!!

    It’s a 2-way street. At the end of your contract, you have the option to renew or move out. The landlord has the same options.

    Landlords have too much power. They negatively impact renters lives and don't care. It's a terrible business practice. I'm glad he went to the news. Slumlords have too much power.

    All rentals should have a tenant complaint page run by tenants! Please start a movement on this!
  • @Adiscretefirm
    If you have that many complaints, why would you want to stay? I'm looking for a new place when poop starts showing up on the floors
  • @Rico34
    Geez, how much power do these landlords have? If I were him, I’d happily leave. I wouldn’t give another cent of my money to that place.

    Word to the wise, this happens to far more people than you realize. Be very careful about posting about your corporate landlord while you still live there. Not saying don't do it, but just weigh your individual costs and benefits.
