Woodbridge Apartments    |    Southfield    ,    Michigan 48220    Landlord Complaint 23-1930

My grandmother lives at 25325 Grodan Drive, Southfield, MI. The building is infested with bed bugs and the apartment management has been negligent in notifying the tenants of this infestation. I spoke to the manager today, she has no plans on sending out a notice to notify the tenants of the problem and the best they can do is spray for the bugs (the rest is the senior citizen problem). Unfortunately, due to this negligence my grandmother now has bed bugs. Through my investigation, I found the tenant above, below and next to her, all have them. This is a senior citizen complex, which is subsidized by the federal government HUD program. The majority (if not all) of these seniors are on a very limited income and cannot afford to replace items ruined by bed bugs. If the management team would have been proactive and at the minimum notified tenants of the problem this could have been avoided. The cost for just getting the apartment prepared to be exterminated start at $225.00, the apartment management refuses to assist the tenants with anything. Many of these seniors have no one to help them or the funds to take care of the problem. So these senior citizens has to choose between being eaten by bed bugs so they can pay their rent or taking every dime they have to get rid of the bugs which will lead to them being evicted because they did not pay their rent. This is no win situation for them and could have been avoided if this management team was not cheap and negligent in their duties.
