OUR SUCCESS STORIES

A family was living in very poor housing conditions due to a break-in and vandalism at their apartment. The door to the unit would not shut or lock, yet the landlord refused to make repairs.  The LSEM attorney requested an inspection by the Housing Authority and found out that the apartment had been inspected and the landlord had been asked to make the repairs.

When no repairs were made on the unit, LSEM requested a second inspection. The Housing Authority then terminated the landlord's participation in the Section 8 program and issued a new voucher to the family so they could move to a better home.
