Complaint Review: Gregory Eveslage

Landlord treats disabled sick bed ridden veteran like crap and discriomates against him.  Disabled vet paid all rent early for 5 years. I have a horror story here! Landlord is referring to Gregory Eveslage in this document.

Landlord address Gregory Eveslage 5205 Clover Ridge Dr.,Greenville, IN. 47124 (502-640-3721)  It takes a crippled,sick,disabled person a long time to find a good place to live and move....even with Gods help and the help of the churches!

 This landlord is the most disgraceful money hungry person I have ever met that would not take care of his duties to fix emergency services at the house. All rent was always paid on time or early for 5 years and commented on my keeping the place very clean and tidy and looking after things.

Indiana law states all rental properties have to be in in good working order and clean and sanitary at all times....no excuse. Landlord never addressed bugs,foundation issues,water leaks ,hot water clogged, lack of Hvac ducting for cooling and heating and many others issues.

Landlord stated I should be happy I have a place to live! This landlord must be fined and banned from renting any of his properties in Indiana,Florida or USA! In addition my privacy was invaded constantly from landlord with no notice intrusion to the property I paid top dollar for even when sick and sleeping. 

After telling landlord I was sick and on bed-rest and disabled he still constantly invaded privacy and harassed me when I could not even walk from health issues.

 There should be no penalty severe enough for greedy nasty people who discriminate against poor disabled,crippled,sick veterans and discrimination period. Bad greedy landlords should be banned for life and serve prison time for treating tenants like slaves and abusing them... like I experienced for 5 years.

I asked many times for the hot water and water leaks and the AC/Heat system and bug infestation to be addressed. Over 1 month for washer to get replaced..replacement was a cheap 1 speed washer that destroys most laundry and sheets. 

Heating/Cooling problems in bedrooms because of lack of duct work never addressed. No mailbox for a year. Did not disclose crime and crack heads smoking crack in neighborhood. 5days for refrigerator to be replaced because landlord searched for cheap used one first and I lost $200.00 in food.

4years for clogged AC to be fixed. 2years for water leak to get temporary repaired....still leaked. 3 times hot water pipes were stopped up and cheapest temporary fix was done each time after waiting up to a year and over a year in these cases for repair which I had to be available.

The severe Bug infestation from cracks in faulty foundation never got addressed in 5 years after landlord acknowledged it many times. Landlord stated extermination is never going to happen...

These were bugs that came in all around the house and carpets not roaches from a very clean house. These bugs got in my clothes,closets,curtains and crawled on my bed. Landlord must return all monies and along with fines and penalties for severe blatant violations of many fair housing laws. Below are Laws that were broken. 

After becoming aware I was sick and disabled (Greg Eveslage)landlord gave me a mandatory notice to vacate and would not talk or negotiate with me about continuing to lease the house per disability laws..just get out! He visited several times to harass me that I was moving out even on last day that I paid for he wanted me out with ill intent!The house went up for rent after I was forced out as he was looking for another victim.

Landlord also has refused to return deposit on move out even after I explained my need for the deposit to find another place to live! To this date no answer to emails for deposit and deposit has yet to be refunded after leaving house better than received 5 years ago.

To make things worse I was not allowed any reasonable accommodation of time to find a new place to live or any reasonable accommodation since I was disabled and had family issues even after making him aware of family deaths and disabilities and sickness.

After keep place spotless with no wear and paying all rent on time I was forced to leave my home. Landlord gave no excuse nor, had any reason to force me to leave. This is a direct violation of civil rights and housing laws for disabled persons and disabled veterans!
