[AsburyPark] Re: The Internet and Christmas Day....
Great info! Wasn't online for 2 days, but watched an expose' that dealt with homeowners and renters being evicted from homes! (News 12 NJ). Very sad, in the case of renters who are paid up only to be given eviction notices because the owner defaulted. It's against the law to evict a renter, simply because the owner defaulted. Didn't know that and renters should attend whatever workshops available. When school closed for the holidays, a disabled woman, renting told me a story about her landlord not providing heat. This was when the temp was down to 14-19 degrees. I advised her to call Fair Housing in Freehold and to file a complaint with the Asbury Park Police, for the record. Also Code enforcement in City Hall should have been notified. It's criminal to deprive someone of heat and/or hot water! The lady didn't seem to know what her options were. She is on Section 8 and I informed her that Uncle Sam had already paid her rent, so under the law, she should complain to them, also. Code Enforcement will send a representative over to the address and survey any violations, contact the landlord and give them X days, hours or whatever to fix these problems. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakd...@... wrote: In looking some stats to see what was popular on one of my sites Christmas Day (whose searching for what...)

The landlords an idiot for not providing heat - if pipes go, it's more problems. BUT... just because she is on section 8, doesn't mean the landlord is responsibile. On the section 8 forms - there is a clear list of who is responsbile for paying for heat etc. Section 8 case worker, tenant and landlord all sign the papers. I now have three section 8 tenants. Beats chasing down non section 8 tenants for rent - so far. States paying about 90% of the rent. And in addition to getting a CO from the town, section 8 does an inspection as well. Actually in OT, we have three - fire dept, health dept for co and for section 8, the section 8 inspection. Yahoo!
