Harvey Mom Evicted After Mold, Holes Complaints — Landlord Skips Hearing
Alexis Scott says her Destrehan Avenue apartment in Harvey had holes in the walls, mold in the bathroom, a broken front window and a gap beneath the front door big enough to let outside air in. After seven months of complaints and more than $1,000 spent on an air-conditioning technician who never fixed a thermostat stuck reading over 90 degrees, Scott stopped paying rent — and her landlord evicted her.
