Brookview Apartment Complex
Bug infestations, water leaks and heating problems are just some of the complaints tenants at one apartment complex in southwest Louisville say they've been dealing with for months.
Now they're protesting. Jessie Evans and his wife hung up this sign at the Brookview Apartments to let people know about the bug infestation.
He says it's so bad he and his wife have been forced to bag up their belongings and sleep in the living room. Evans says he wants the problems fixed or the opportunity to break his lease.
“I have a wife and a kid on the way. I don't want her growing up in bugs. I've been here for months and haven't been able to get them to do nothing yet,” said Evans.
Evans says he and another tenant have started a petition against the Brookview Apartment Complex. So far, 15 people have signed.
WHAS11 talked with the River City Properties maintenance supervisor Sunday.
He says the Evans brought the bed bugs with them and that they are trying to evict the couple.
The Evans’ deny they brought the bed bugs to the apartment.
They also say they don't want to lose their security deposit by leaving and want to recover furniture they had to throw away. Both the Evans’ and River City Properties are scheduled to go to court.
