Great work KPRC, if not for you it would be weeks or months before these people got any help. For what these people are paying the owner should have had an army of electricians there. Slum lords aren't just in low rent neighborhoods.
How can the landlord fix the incoming power? The landlord can only fix what is on his property and not allowed to touch the city power so what can he do?
If the landlord talk to the tenants and they authorized the expenditure of the rental and fuel for a generator that could help, but he would need everyone’s authorization before he could do so that would be the best thing any landlord could do
@cynthiaallen6394 gasoline generator or propane generator 🙄 idk where you're from, but here in Texas, you can buy small generators or huge building generators and everything in between. I also have propane heaters and a battery-operated squirrel fan, so all I have to do is set a cooler full of I've in front of it, and it blows cold air.
Tenants probably can’t even sue the landlords, because most of them will force you to sign a no class action or right to arbitration/something, when you sign the lease agreement.
I was once a renter with good credit for over 6 years. Glad I met my real estate agent while looking to rent another house because of nightmares like this. Negligence from where I was renting silently pushed me into opening my eyes and buying a home.
It is so funny to me to hear Texans bleating nonsense about "freedom." At every turn the Texan government connives and oppresses. Texas is a deeply backwards place.
I can't believe that gorgeous Lady is 65!!! Stunning Beauty. Horrible what folks are being put thru in the Lone Star 🌟 I left Houston 30 + years ago for rural North Idaho and haven't once looked back. Couldn't pay me to move back down south, especially in todays USA
So write a letter, wait 7 days for the leasing office to respond, then you can move out without a broken lease ruining your chance of getting another apartment? I hope so if not, a lot of people will ruin their credit for 7 years!
That’s incorrect. If you follow proper procedure you can move out and not be held liable-it’s a MEGA tight exception but can be done. The lawyer’s advice is actually💯 legit
Say it with me, GENTRAN. AN AUTOMATIC GENERATOR SWITCHED THAT AUTOMATICALLY TURN YOUR GENERATOR ON THIS WOULD SAVE YOU SO MUCH HEADACHE. $10,000 AND YOU WILL BE COVERED WITH NO INTERRUPTION OF POWER.

She looks great for 65.
Sad the landlord is not fixing issue right away.

@joshwebb1493 you didn't listen. The landlord was supposed to fix before the power company can turn back on.
Held Hostage by lazy landlords
They expect people to live like this???
They're just poor people, not like they deserve rights.
The Republican Golden Rule on clear display here: "he who has the gold makes the rules."
Have landlords not ever heard of generators?!?
Probably not they probably aren't from the US. Many of these complexes are owned by overseas entities and only managed by US companies.
a generator doesn't work if every unit has it's own seperate power source.

Welcome to Houston during a STORM nothing unusual if your from here/ after “IKE” hit Houston 17 days without

Those are brand new apartments. Just built a few years ago. Landlord use cheap materials and cheap labor.
Call the out of country owners that built it.
@@KB-ke3fi And the county inspector that approved it.

Let's put the landlord in this situation Let's see how he/she feel
Sad...makes me feel blessed and humble with what I do have. Amen
Prayers to these sweet ladies. I really hope they find suitable housing. It only takes one setback to a chain of events leading to homelessness. 😢🙏
I get some states favor landlords, but wow TX there is like no way for tenants to get recompense
You think the tenant rights are bad, check out workers rights, they're WAY worse
It is so funny to me to hear Texans bleating nonsense about "freedom." At every turn the Texan government connives and oppresses. Texas is a deeply backwards place.
Yeah well usually they can't find the out of state owners
Of course tenants and workers rights (basically) don't exist in Texas. The Republican Golden Rule is: "He who has the gold, makes the rules."
They pay too much rent not to have power that's crazy and poor structure
They should move and get their deposit back
What out of state company owns this one?
Or maybe even out of the country sadly
Well, they may as well move out of Houston. The gulf storms are yet to come. 😮
15 predictable hurricane and tropical storms in the coming months be careful!
Yeah everyone should run for the hills and cry when weather strikes.
@@frankcorrea8691 Perhaps...
You could not pay me to live anywhere in the Houston area!
The apartment community is still advertising apartments available!

0:57 that lady looks so fine at 65!
Oh yeah, Htown a great place to live as is taxes Texas...
Paradise on earth I hear..
Tenants have very few rights? Extremely sad!
Why do so many "luxury" apartments have such crappy landlords? Why are so many people murdered in gated communities?
Sooooo this the only apartment complex in Houston without power Just only the Heights apartment complex throughout the whole city uh....
The most noticeable apartments in the heights.
File in small claim landlord court a request to break the lease. This lawyer is not totally correct. A judge needs to break the lease.
That’s incorrect. If you follow proper procedure you can move out and not be held liable-it’s a MEGA tight exception but can be done. The lawyer’s advice is actually💯 legit
Renter has next to no rights. Owner has ALL the power. Greed always wins.
The renters have the rights that Texas voters chose them to have - the Republican Golden Rule is: "he who has the gold, makes the rules"
Hellhole houston what else is new?
Clearly more electric cars is the solution to all our problems.
Move out of Houston and never come back. This place is a huge headache.
Say it with me, GENTRAN. AN AUTOMATIC GENERATOR SWITCHED THAT AUTOMATICALLY TURN YOUR GENERATOR ON THIS WOULD SAVE YOU SO MUCH HEADACHE. $10,000 AND YOU WILL BE COVERED WITH NO INTERRUPTION OF POWER.
*You own nothing and are happy!!!*
Break the lease
