Proof in the attached photos reveals the extensive damages to my initial apartment, turning what I thought was a secure space into one of the most harrowing experiences of my life. Over several months, maintenance cited water damages and then claimed the need for renovations, leading to a hole beneath my sink and a broken kitchen sink. This hole exposed black mold throughout the entire apartment, compounding existing severe water damages. The company approved these damages during multiple inspections by managers and maintenance personnel, following admissions of water damage issues. Despite this, the company was granted a generous nine-month period to address and rectify the situation.
During this time, I endured almost four months without a working washing machine, also infested with mold, and despite numerous requests and reports, the company displayed a lack of concern. Even when maintenance personnel witnessed the visible effects of my poisoning, some expressed genuine concern by checking on me due to my deteriorating health, including convulsions and shaking. In the face of evident health hazards and deteriorating living conditions, the company has failed to take appropriate actions. They adamantly refused to address the mold issue, leaving the sink unusable, flooded, and infested with mold. Their lack of communication led them to state that their sole responsibility was fixing the hole in the cabinet they created.
Summarily, I now have life altering daily health impacts and have been in and out of the ICU. Due to not only the extreme living circumstances but Larks negligence and cruelty causing bacterial and mold poisoning to my immune compromised body. The company's proposed solution was offering a 3x3 apartment with less than a 72-hour notice, refusing me the opportunity to inspect it or meet potential roommates. They fabricated dates and times, asserting that my request to see the apartment before moving in constituted a refusal of their offer.
exacerbated my deteriorating health.
In Florida, a non-functional sink is considered uninhabitable, especially when broken by maintenance. Lark's extreme negligence is evident in their disregard for my well-being and refusal to address the property damages. Despite not residing in the apartment for months, I continued to pay full rent, and they are still charging me for utilities, penalizing me for prioritizing my own well-being. The attached photos, including the exposed hole and the fan left for two months, highlight only 5 percent of the property damages in my approximately 500 square feet apartment.
Just an update:
After a formal eviction took place in January while I was hospitalized and unable to care for myself, Lark took it upon themselves to report me for not having insurance on an apartment I hadn’t lived in since November. Despite the court granting them the eviction, they continue to charge me utilities to this day and keep me on the lease, falsely stating that I have been living in the apartment the entire time. This not only overturns their own eviction but also allows them to plan further court action for additional damages. The total amount of fees now stands at approximately $15,000 to $17,000. They refuse to remove my name off of the utilities that I never agreed to pay for. I am now illegally being charged for someone else’s utilities which in return also adds to larks associates of a combined 3 years worth of unpaid utilities without a valid notification, communication, bill, or proof and still growing.
