JALA files lawsuit against Hilltop Apartments. This lawsuit, led by JALA, seeks a court order forcing the landlord to cure the infestation and provide temporary housing until the problems are resolved.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Tenants at Hilltop Village Apartments, a government-subsidized complex in Northwest Jacksonville that have been reporting problems with rodents for the past year have now asked a judge to force the owner to move them until the mice infestation is fixed.
The I-TEAM has been reporting on the rodent problem at the apartments since late April, prompting city and federal inspections of the property.
Saying the landlord hasn’t done enough to get rid of the mice sill running rampant inside their apartment, a group of them filed a lawsuit last week asking a judge to force the landlord to pay for them to live somewhere else until the infestation is addressed.
