LAW SUIT AGAINST MARINA POINTE / UDR
My name is Chris Struckman and I have successfully sued UDR for their wrong doing towards all us tenants during this construction process, I won the first round and naturally they have appealed. Now I need your help and testimony/story, I am certainly not the only person who has been treated wrong by UDR during this process and now I need your story.
Also I know many of you are interested in perusing a class action suit or small claim yourselves and I will naturally be happy to help you with this and give you all the information I have at my disposal, including my lawyer’s advice.
I sued Marina Pointe Management / UDR for the following breaches of the law:
With so much construction, noise, dirt and interruption at such a confined building UDR have caused a substantial reduction of habitability (CC 1941.1 Green vs Superior court) and implied warranty of habitability thus to much rent have been paid by afflicted tenants and refund was demanded
Reduction in fair rent during construction should be a given and is the norm in the surrounding community, the alleged fair marked value as suggested by UDR must be considered significantly lower due to the severe conditions at the apartment building during construction
Breach of contract as Marina Points UDR have failed to provide the livable conditions as promised by leasing contract, and breach of CC 1954
Workers and inspectors did at times enter units several times with no notice given At plaintiffs unit there had been 7 instances of unannounced, unscheduled and unapproved entries into the unit breaking California Civil Code 1954 states that except for emergencies and abandonment), the landlord must give the tenant 24 hours written notice before entering units.
Furthermore plaintiffs can be said to have broken the fair housing act Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the Fair Housing Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866
On two counts:
• Treating applicants differently for housing
• Treating residents differently in connection with terms and conditions
As tenants have been offered completely different rents, offers to move units, leave or stay.
I am just a private person who would not put up with being treated this way, this is not what we pay so much for, they are a large nation wide corporation with a very poor reputation and it is time we stand together and demand proper treatment, I made a stand and now I hope you will all stand with me so we again can have a livable community.
Please write me your Marina Pointe horror story as it pertains to the points listed above, and naturally any other wrong doing you are aware off.
