Dirtbag Landlord Leaves Tenants Hot
People like this give landlords a bad name. Channel 11 reports that tenants at the Grove Village Apartments (link) on Loop 12 near Jim Miller in Pleasant Grove (map) don't have air conditioning; in fact some tenants haven't had air for weeks. These people deserve better!
Not surprisingly, the owner (Guardian Management) is based way out of state in Portland, Oregon. They also own a complex around the corner from Grove Village called Pleasant Village (map). I'm sure the landlord is nice and cozy in their Portland high-rise while their tenants sweat away the summer.
They got $6.2 million in housing tax-credits from the State of Texas for Grove Village, and $6 million from the State of Texas for Pleasant Village. You'd think after getting $12.2 million in tax-credits last year that they could kick in for a few A/C units.

That is unacceptable AND the company that owns the firm is located in Portland!! They received big tax credits from the state of Texas and cannot even provide the units with a/c which they can write off as a business expense anyway. This shows how blacks in low income neighborhoods are treated and will continue to be treated until local leaders and civil activists can do something about it.
I lived in Pleasant Village for 10yrs. & Grove Village 4yrs. I understand what those people are going through. because I went through it when I lived on those properties. & now my father lives in Grove Village & hes in ederly man going through the same thing. thats bull. the owner needs his tail whooped by god. how can they have so much money and not do the right thing with it. lord please help those people.
we have been without air 4 days in a row now. One child had a seizure due to the extreme heat.
We are at Eastfield Village in Pleasant Grove, on LaPrada and Jim Miller. Memorial Holiday was spent with no air, but great neighbors. I feel for the children, elderly, and pregnant woman here.
