Montgomery announces lawsuits against apartment owners after tenants share horror stories

Mahkaha and Andy Nguyen said they tried to help their neighbor at Brentwood Estates when her apartment flooded. They said they then talked to the leasing office.

“They just brushed us off,” Mahkaha Nguyen said.

The couple said they also sought help when they discovered mold in their unit, and it began making them sick. They said the property manager did not take any action.

So they, along with other tenants, began talking to city councilors and other officials about the many issues at the complex. That is why the Nguyens think the company evicted them.

They said the administrators claimed Mahkaha’s sister did not pay months of rent before they moved into her unit. The couple claims that is simply untrue.
