City of Shreveport to shut off water to 3 apartment complexes next week

quote:

The City of Shreveport will cut off water service to three apartment complexes because of unpaid bills.


quote:

The action is being taken because of increasing water and sewerage balances and the landlords' lack of communication and "willingness to meet their responsibilities."


quote:

The water will be disconnected on Tuesday at the Jolie Apartments at 1017 Quail Creek, the Pines Apartments at 8040 Line Avenue and Villa Norte apartments at 1620 Fullerton. Other utilities may be disconnected on the same day for the same reasons.


All 3 properties are owned by the same dude out of NYC.

Apparently the property manager at Quail Creek put a sign on the door that they were closed and the entire staff left the property. They said they have a serious issue with squatters and residents refusing to pay rent. Some owed more than $16K in back rent.


Would you be surprised if I told you all 3 are Section 8 housing?


This was announced yesterday. There was a shooting at Quail Creek last night. Crime was already bad there. This is going to make it the Wild West.

It is on track to become another Jackson.
And this with a weak Republican Mayor and minority majority city council.

You can go a while with no electricity, eat packaged foods for weeks, but no running water and everything goes to shite in a day or two.

We need an OT resident with a drone to catch footage of the action.

We could make it into a documentary and have David Attenborough narrate the happenings and ways of the section 8 residents as crisis hits.

We used to go gar gigging in the Oxbow behind this place back in the late 90s. There are some MONSTER fish in that lake.

We got this



It’s a pretty terrible situation, but I’m not sure what else the city is supposed to do, besides give the paying tenants a little longer than a week to get out.

One of the properties had people throwing rocks at firemen when they were responding to a call in the middle of the night a few months ago. There are shootings on a weekly basis at Quail Creek. And this was all with power and water. It’s literally a zoo with animals in half the apartments.

I feel for the people that lived there and paid their bills. They’ve got a week to find a new place to live because hoodrats and slumlords think they don’t have to pay bills and that the gubument will pay for them.

I thought section 8 rent was paid to the landlord by the government?

Oh well. I have an idea. How about Louisiana politicians put together another Ukraine funding bill. I’m sure speaker Johnson can get enough demorats and Rinos to pass it. We know there is a filibuster proof majority in the senate to pass it too. They can even include funds for Israel to provide cover for the gope. Biden will sign it, then withhold funding to Israel because he’s a pos, racist, antisemitic feral dog of a human.

Screw Shreveport.

I lived in the Quail Creek apartments around 2008ish and they were decent apartments.

I'm not sure when they changed hands, but they went down fast.

Well, the Tennant will just take the insurance claim, because those Fulkerson are about to trash those places.

Why pay rent if owner sits in NY and doesn't take action. Now I definitely wouldn't pay because my rent doesn't keep the eater on.
