We the tenants of Apple Valley Apartments Holton, KS (protected by law against harrassment and illegal eviction) demand that the repeated harrassment and unprofessional conduct by Maco Property Manager, Kathy stop immediately. We will no longer be intimated, harrassed, or live in fear of illegal eviction from low income rural development subsidy funded apartments (USDA).
Previous harrassment and unprofessional conduct has included but not limited to yelling at tenants, profanity directed towards tenants, hanging up on tenants when called regarding various issues, beating on tenants' doors loudly and in a manner that is uncalled for, issuing numerous 14-30 without prior verbal and/or written requests being made to tenants, walking around/looking in vehicles in parking lot, contacting law enforcement to run vehicle tags/issue citations on private property.
Kathy as well as her superior Tiffany are negligent in following the proper procedures in regards to issuing 14-30 to tenants without any previous verbal or written requests for various paperwork and/or other housing concerns. The 14-30 notices are taped to tenant's door but on paperwork marked that 14-30 was also mailed USPS and/or certified as well as tact at residence. This is fraudulent misuse of a legally binding document that can be potentially used to evict tenants within 30 days if Maco Management insists that necessary efforts were not made by tenant to resolve issue(s) listed within 14 days of 14-30. Copies of tenant's 14-30 can be provided if requested but Maco can't provide receipts for certified or USPS expenses the company incurred for services that they didn't use.
Therefore, trying to issue four 14-30 notices in order to evict low income tenants as per conversation with Kathy is illegal bc tenants weren't properly served as check marked on 14-30 notices.
Furthermore, 14-30 are vague with generic lease violations checked such as causing unsafe or unsanitary unit or property conditions or person living at residence not on lease. Often no additional comments made as to how tenants can successfully remedy the lease violation within the allotted 14 days time frame from the date 14-30 was issued. Actually leaving tenants with less than 14 days to successfully comply with all of Maco's requests. Which could potentially result in Maco trying to evicting tenants within that 30 day time frame. Even though tenant(s) were unaware of specific conditions and/or additional paperwork needed in order to comply
Written, Formal Complaints will be submitted to Kathy, Maco MGMT, and USDA regarding previous and/or continued harrassment by Apple Valley Property Manager. Dates, time, conduct, and copies of 14-30 or other posted notices will be kept and submitted via email and/or U.S. mail (see below).
