Unsanitary living conditions
A month long investigation by Texas Housers has uncovered some very interesting findings and if you rent an apartment this is a segment for you.
The group has focused specifically on Sunnyside in Houston. It's where they have found a pattern of unsafe living conditions, unresponsive landlords, and a useless city code enforcement department. With those elements you have a perfect storm that leaves tenants helpless and victimized.
Chrishelle Palaym, the Houston co-director of Texas Low Income Housing Information Service, is on the Factor to talk about those conditions, along with Sunnyside community leader Joann Burbridge and Gabrielle Bradford, a resident living in these unsanitary conditions.
