    Dear Assemblywoman Schiavo:
    Thank you for scheduling the above-referenced meeting. I hope to meet you on Tuesday, November 7th in Council Chambers at Santa Clarita City Hall.
    I am the mother of a gravely disabled veteran who was and still is awfully mistreated by many members of the public because of manifestation of his disabilities. The heartbreaking chain of the unbearable tragedies is lingering from 2013.
    One of the latest and ongoing examples is the situation with his apartment unit where he suffered for several months from severe nuisances (documented, videotaped!) coming into his unit from the adjacent unit, and asking the Landlord’s management team to abate those nuisances immediately, as they were severely aggravating my son’s military-connected disabilities. We submitted multiple Requests for Reasonable Accommodations which were denied and/or ignored by the Landlord’s staff, who refused to abate highly disturbing to the gravely disabled tenant nuisances, calling them “normal noises when leaving in the apartment” and tried to convince my son to break the lease and move out. When he refused, the Landlord’s property management staff started retaliation by making false allegation against my disabled son, issued discriminatory Lease Violation Notice and invalid Eviction Notice, which pushed my son into psychiatric crisis and multiple hospitalizations. He has currently hospitalized while the Landlord open a litigation against the gravely disabled tenant after the Landlord’s staff have violated multiple provisions of the Fair Housing Act, Code if Federal Regulations Title 24 Part 100, and violated the residential lease agreement by failing the Landlord’s duties to ensure quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the leased property and provide timely and proper maintenance upon requests.

    Oh, additionally, my son was eaten alive by the bedbugs appeared in the leased unit when the property management team has failed even to respond to our urgent requests for an inspection and abatement of pests. My son’s car was vandalized by certain tenants at the apartment complex subterranean parking.

    The Landlord’s property management staff has created unsafe, discriminatory, and hostile environment for my gravely disabled son, pushed him into a psychiatric crisis because of his disabilities, and trying to evict him unlawfully while he is hospitalized because of the Landlord’s actions and/or failure to take actions.

    My son and his emotional supporting pets are facing the homelessness because of the above-described traumas and injustice.

    To support my statements, I can provide the overwhelming evidence to it.
    Thank you.
