Landlord sued over Morro Bay apartments
14.04.2005, 13:22
California Rural Legal Assistance has filed a lawsuit against a Morro Bay landlord alleging unsafe and unsanitary conditions at three units at the Belvedere Apartments on Monterey Street.
The apartments are moldy and poorly ventilated, have faulty wiring and are infested with cockroaches, according to the suit filed in San Luis Obispo Superior Court against Lee Brazil of Brazil Properties.
Brazil, the lawsuit alleges, "has permitted and caused, directly or indirectly, unsafe, unsanitary, and uninhabitable conditions to exist in each of the plaintiffs' units ... in violation of applicable housing, health, and safety codes and laws."
Brazil disputes the allegations, claiming the renters are hard on the apartments.
"It's normal wear and tear," Brazil said of the condition of the apartments, located at 1125 Monterey Ave. in Morro Bay.
