Dear Sherrie,
While I was explaining the results of your refrigerator inspection yesterday, you
interrupted me, yelled obscenities at me, and then hung up the phone, so I'm writing you
to fInish what I was saying.
Two separate thermometers inside your refrigerator both give a reading of 38 degrees.
Several appliance dealers/repainnan state that normal interior temperature for a properly
working refrigerator is 38-42 degrees. You have lobbied me repeatedly to replace your
refrigerator ever since you moved into the apartment. I won't replace a properly
functioning refrigerator.
If you intentionally damage the refrigerator in an attempt to force me to replace it you will
be subject to immediate eviction.
As I've stated in the past, I will allow you to break your 12 month lease, which expires on
July 31 S\ and relocate to another apartment if you wish. You need only ask.
Sincerely,
Ray Magee

To whom it may concern;
I moved into my apartment on August 1 2001. There was red water in our sinks and
shower Ray replaced the water tank but our water is still1~:11dfn the shower. I also told Ray
about a smell that I noticed in one comer of the house that it was very musty smelling. All
he would say is that it must be my cat box. When you enter the house you can smell the
musty odor but it does not smell like cat. My cat goes to the carpet comer and scratches
at it like it has the odor of cat or dog on it.
From September to January Ray kept telling me that I must have been doing something to
make the basement leak although I have no access to the basement. I don't feel I did
anything to flood the basement all I did was regular living we didn't put water down the
vents or anything such as that, we did take daily showers, do laundry, wash dishes ' -
To make my living conditions even worse on February 3rd 2002 I heard a big bang that
shook my bedroom so I called 911 and the fire department came out. The fire captain
asked what all the water was by the water heater? I told him that the owner knows about
it but rather than doing anything about it he just blames me and lets it go. They shut off
my gas that day stating that there was a leak or something. I know they red tagged it. The
next day Ray and his maintenance man came over to fix the problem and they turned the
gas back on. While Ray was at my house he must of picked up the red tag and that means
he went through all my mail and bills that I had on my coffee table because the tag was in
the bottom of a big pile of papers and the tag was not there when I got home from work.
In approximately 2 or 3 weeks latter I noticed the smell of gas in the living room I called
the city and county to see if Ray had got a permit to turn the gas back on and they told
that he did not go through them and that they never authorized the work done. They sent
a public service worker over. I warned him about all the water in the basement and told
him how the owner said it was my fault that I was doing something to flood it. Ray was
called over and when he got here the public service man asked him what all the water was
from. Ray told him that he doesn't have a sub-pump so where was the water to go?
At this time my daughter started having allergy problems. She has runny nose, itchy eyes,
and has been coughing. I moved my entertainment center from the area that 1 complained
about the smell coming from to pack up things so that when I find a place to move to I
will be ready. When I moved it the smell was so bad I started coughing and I felt as
though I couldn't breathe. There was an odor of mold coming from under the part of
carpet I had exposed. I coughed all night and felt as I was dying. I went to the doctor and
told her what had happened she advised me to move immediately away from that place.
My daughter slept on the floor the next night to help me in case I needed her because of
my problems and she woke up unable to breathe. I took her 'r" /H' D"c. fe:- . to
have her checked we are now both on inhalers to help us breathe better and have been
advised by 2 doctors to move.
I told Ray about the drain for the washing machine leaking and I was worried about being
electrocuted also because the leak was by the outlet. !Z h o{ d' .IO,n<-guys out to fix it. They
had to go into the basement and they really complained about the smell also. My
daughter's grandma came to visit one day and had to go home because the smell was

that it was a temporary fix and that the refrigerator really needed re~laced because the

paid him for the work he did. The refrigerator went out again in April and I told Ray about
it and he accused me of purposefully ruining the fridge to get a new one. He said that 38
degrees is a good temperature for a fridge and he isn't replacing something that works I
keep telling him that my milk spoils within a day or two of buying it. He says I want to
much because I asked for a new refrigerator and new carpet when I first moved in my
neighbors moved in at the same time as I did and they have gotten both new carpet.

refrigerator and when I asked them why they just said you will find out. So this leaves me
to believe that this problem has been going on for a long time. It has gotten so bad that I
borrowed an ice chest from a friend to keep my food in so that it will last longer.
In September Ray was cutting a tree in the yard and we watched through the window and
I saw him take my dolly and load it into his car. I confronted him about a month later

making her sick she said she couldn't breathe and her eyes burnt.
I also complained about my refugerator not working when we first moved in. I couldn't
keep milk in it at all without it spoiling. I told Ray about this problem and I kept telling
him about my food spoiling. He told me there was nothing wrong with the refugerator and
that I just wanted him to spend money on a new one so that it would look better. For 5
months I bought food at least weekly so that it wouldn't spoil before we used it. I called
someone in February to fix my fudge; he came over and gave Ray an estimate. He came
back and fixed the fudge. It was the thermostat that was bad and he stated at that time
that it was a temporary fix and that the refugerator really needed r~laced because the

In September Ray was cutting a tree in the yard and we watched through the window and
I saw him take my dolly and load it into his car. I confronted him about a month later
when I saw him again and he told me he had put it back. I know this was not true so I
'. ended up going to the police and they went to get it. I feel that if he would steal
from the outside he would more than likely steal from the inside of our apartments also.
I also have a problem with the kitchen light. I have to flip the switch quite a few times
before it will work, it seems like a hundred or so, it gets very fiustrating. When I told Ray
about it he replaced the light bulb and said there was nothing wrong with it.
All the windowsills are moldy and I have,....windowflhat is broken and has been broken
since we moved in. When it is cold outside the windows ice up on the in side and it gets
very cold to go even near the windows. The floor in one of the bedrooms feels as if there
is nothing under it for support like it is going to cave in at any time. The only thing that
keeps us from falling through the floor is the carpet.
Ray wrote me a letter and stated in that letter that I could move out any time I wanted
that he would not hold me to the lease. Then when I put a deposit on an apartment and
told him I would be out by May 1st or 2nd he told me that I couldn't move because I
didn't give him enough notice. I really feel living in this apartment is bad for our health
and I can't afford to rent two places so that I can move out any sooner.
I am now getting thousands of nats coming up through the vents my whole house is full
of them and you can see them coming up through the vents.
