Slumlord Rents substandard apartments, does not return deposits, files fabricated documents in court

My son his wife and kids were living in an apartment owed by MR Dudas. The sewer backed up into the apartment several times, there was sewage in the apartment.

After many attempts to get Mr Dudas to replace the carpeting and make repairs, they called Code Enforcement.

Code Enforcement came out and found many violations which Mr Dudas was fined for. My son has copies of the violations.

Mold became a very real concern since the carpets had been soaked, and the sewage had soaked into some of the walls.

MR Dudas refused to have a professional come in and check for mold. He did come out and cut off the parts of the carpet that had been soaked, put down an area rug in a bedroom.

He never replaced the carpet he removed. My Granddaughters, ages 2 and 1, both have deformed toenails from growing up in this environment. All the children suffered from rashes while living there. Their nephew may have brain damage from it as he lived with them in the apartment.

My daughter-in-law decided to withhold rent in November and December as no repairs had been made. Code Enforcement never enforced anything.in fact when they were called about it they came back out, but they checked on my son and family not on the building violations.

By this point in time they were packing to move as two different mold kits tested positive for mold.

They had to throw away most of their furniture, anything that couldn't be washed. Mattresses, couch, living room chairs.

Mr Dudas filed false documents with the courts for eviction. They never recieved a three day pay or quit notice. The only thing they recieved was a court copy of an illegal detainer that the court sends out. They were not served with an illegal detainer. MR Dudas won in court with his false documents. He did tell my son that he "knows people in Sacramento".

He is currently trying to rent the apartment without any repairs to it. He threatened another tenent in the apartments, and told her that he was not going to give them their deposit back if they didn't paint the apartment.

Other tenents have called code enforcement, there were violations in those apartments, too, and nothing was ever repaired. Code enforcement hasn't enforced anything. This man is a slumlord. He will do what he can to other tenents who oppose him. Most of the people in these apartments are low income, he is preying on them. He keeps their deposits. He had documents in court with my son saying he only had a $300.00 deposit, when my son had paid a $750.00 deposit. The other apartments in the building had sewage back up into them, too. I'm certain mold is a problem in all of them.
