RE: Notice of Default and Lease Termination
Dear Harry,
As of today’s date, your rent delinquency for 086 is 1,804.85. Unless the delinquent amount is received by us within five (5) days of the date of this letter, an eviction action will be commenced for the apartment and money damages. If this is necessary, this letter will serve as five (5) days’ notice to vacate your apartment.
We value your residency and hope that this action will not be necessary. However, failure to act will leave us with no alternative. You will receive no further communication from us before the institution of the eviction action. If you feel you have received this notice in error please contact us immediately. We appreciate your prompt attention to this urgent matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Bloch,
As previously communicated, we provided you with a copy of your ledger on September 5, 2025, and at that same time confirmed that it is not our business practice to issue rental reference letters directly to residents. We also stated that we will gladly complete a rental verification request should one be submitted to us directly by a landlord on your behalf.
For your convenience, I have attached again the copy of your ledger that was previously provided.

Ms. Beyer,
In regards to the above email, please be advised of the following:
As a direct result of the uninhabitable documented violations in my unit, Metropolitan Apartments has refused to take accountability for my damages.
My response is: Relocation to an available one-bedroom at Metropolitan Highgate, however Metropolitan Apartments must be held accountable for my damages.
I respectfully request that Metropolitan Apartments contact me to finalize this matter, in order to cease occupying my apartment of the documented dangerous living conditions.
I await your call,
Harry Bloch

Dear Mr. Bloch,
Following our recent communications, please let us know which of the options below you would like to proceed with so we can move forward:
As previously stated, we do not have a same-day transfer apartment available within your current community. If you believe your health is at risk, you should vacate immediately. Should you choose to remain in your apartment, that decision is entirely your own.
It is important to note that any of these options will take time to coordinate, and we will need your selection in order to direct our resources toward delivering on your request. Please confirm how you wish to proceed so we can mobilize accordingly.

Re Documented fraudulent mold report & intentional concealment of mold infestation
Your “documented” fraudulent vindictive conduct to silence me from exposing my mold infested apartment that has harmed my health and made my life a living hell due to:
n:Refusal to provide a safe alternative living facility such as a hotel to avoid living
A landlord who provides a fraudulent mold report could face severe legal penalties, including civil lawsuits for damages, criminal charges, and liability under local consumer protection laws.
Both federal and Pennsylvania state laws provide protections against landlord intimidation, though the specific violations depend on the nature of the intimidation. Federal law focuses on discrimination, while state law covers a wider range of retaliatory and harassing behaviors.
Federal violations
Under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), it is illegal for a landlord to intimidate, coerce, threaten, or interfere with a tenant’s right to housing based on their protected class. This is a federal violation enforced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Protected classes under federal law include:
Intimidation tactics that violate the FHA include:
Pennsylvania state violations
Pennsylvania state law also makes landlord intimidation illegal, with several provisions that go beyond the federally protected classes.
Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA)
The PHRA mirrors the federal Fair Housing Act but extends protected classes to include age (over 40) and ancestry. It specifically prohibits threats, coercion, and intimidation related to housing based on a person’s protected class.
Landlord retaliation
Pennsylvania law protects tenants from landlord retaliation for exercising their legal rights. A landlord cannot take action against a tenant who has done any of the following:
Illegal entry and invasion of privacy
Pennsylvania law gives tenants the right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of their property. A landlord who repeatedly enters the property without proper notice or consent may be violating this right and committing harassment. Illegal entry is a form of intimidation and includes “self-help” eviction tactics like changing the locks or shutting off utilities.
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED)
A tenant may be able to sue a landlord in civil court for intentional infliction of emotional distress if the landlord’s conduct is so “outrageous and extreme” that it causes the tenant severe emotional trauma. To prove IIED, the following must be shown:
Potential consequences for violating the law
A landlord who illegally intimidates a tenant in Pennsylvania can face significant consequences, including:
What’s the most you can sue your landlord for?
Compensation Scenarios
| Factors Influencing Compensation | Potential Compensation |
| Severity of Unsafe Conditions | $1,000 – $50,000+ |
| Duration of the Issue | $500 – $25,000 |
| Documented Health Issues | $5,000 – $100,000+ |
| Punitive Damages for Negligence | Up to $50,000 or more |
Ignoring health violations that make a tenant sick can result in criminal charges against a landlord, though it depends on the severity of the landlord’s negligence and its direct link to the tenant’s illness. While most violations fall under civil law, criminal charges can occur in cases of extreme and willful disregard for tenant safety.
Potential Pennsylvania (PA) criminal violations
Potential federal criminal violations
Criminal charges against a landlord under federal law are rare, but could stem from discrimination based on health-related disabilities.
Distinguishing civil vs. criminal offenses
It is important to understand that most health and safety issues involving landlords are handled through the civil justice system and not criminal court.
| Civil Offense (most common) | Criminal Offense (less common) | |
| Legal Basis | Breach of the implied warranty of habitability, a civil law that guarantees tenants a safe and sanitary living space. | State criminal code violations, such as criminal negligence or endangering. |
| Trigger | The landlord’s failure to maintain a safe and sanitary property after being notified of a problem. | The landlord’s extreme and willful recklessness or negligence that directly causes serious bodily harm or death. |
| Consequences | The landlord may be forced to pay the tenant for damages like medical bills, lost wages, and relocation costs. | The landlord could face fines, probation, or jail time. |

Under what conditions can a landlord become liable for a crime committed against a tenant?
What is a breach of implied warrant of Habitability in PA?
When criminal activity is blank, the landlord has a duty to take reasonable measures to prevent harm to persons on the property from future similar criminal activities.?
Landlords who ignore serious health violations in Pennsylvania generally face civil liability, not criminal charges. A criminal case against a landlord is rare and requires demonstrating an egregious and reckless disregard for human life that leads directly to a tenant’s severe illness or death.
Pennsylvania criminal violations
While most landlord-tenant cases are civil matters involving breach of the “implied warranty of habitability,” criminal charges may apply in rare cases of extreme negligence.
Case study: Bodon-Soto v. Cohen (2011)
While not a criminal case, this Pennsylvania civil case demonstrates how landlord negligence related to health violations can lead to liability.
Federal criminal violations
Federal prosecution of a landlord for health violations is highly unlikely unless the case involves federal programs or statutes, or the negligence rises to the level of a major disaster.
Key distinction: Civil vs. Criminal
Most actions for landlord negligence causing tenant sickness are pursued in civil court.

Laura, your despicable actions have intentionally prevented me from moving into Metropolitan Highgate, due to the fact that I exposed documented mold. You Laura, stated in writing that based upon Mr. Smith’s fraudulent report, there is no existence of mold, which is a fraudulent statement. Your orders to prevent me from communicating
With Charlotte, are abhorrent.
Your documented illegal actions are far reaching, and I will no longer be intimidated by your vindictive actions.
After 40 years of teaching Real Estate Law, owning a mortgage company, Real Estate Broker, former landlord, Real Estate investor, condo bylaws expert, and lecturer on landlord tenant statutes, you singularly have not only concealed the existence of mold in my apartment, have caused my medical problems, and are liable for punitive damages. Your attempt to silence me with your intimidation has backfired, and my problems are certainly not limited to my mold infested apartment.
I shall no longer plead with you to professionally conduct yourself in the manner required to provide answers to my move on Tuesday. As I stated previously, I do not expect you to respond, as you have have ignored, however your instructions to prevent Charlotte from communicating with me is detestable.
Laura, you have crossed the line by yourhi concealment of documented mold, fraudulent statements, countless federal and state violations, harming me by refusing to provide a safe living environment, but not limited to the above.
I have repeatedly requested communication and transparency with the concealment of documented mold, which you Laura have fraudulently stating in writing that it does exist.
I can not, and will not beg you any further to communicate with me regarding me more. Additionally, your vindictive actions of preventing Charlotte from communicating with me will be legally addressed. You may think that your despicable actions ignoring my repeated requests for communication insulates you, but on the contrary, it clearly demonstrates your illegal actions.
I am certainly not intimidated by your fraudulent conduct fully documented. After 50 years of experience, I look forward to holding you and Metropolitan liable. What could have been a simple move, has now morphed into catastrophic legal bind for Metropolitan Apartments due to your illegal conduct.

Laura, I was just told when I called at Metropolitan Highgate that Charlotte is not permitted to speak to me and I must speak to you. You have created a nightmare for me regarding this move all because I exposed mold in my apartment. I desperately need to do a walk through, discuss moving boxes, address the installation of my television, and measure my apartment. You are intentionally punishing me because I exposed mold which is so illegal. I have been in the Real Estate industry for 40 years and have never experienced such illegal conduct in my entire career. As you know, I have major health problems with a severely damaged heart and life threatening panic attacks which have caused unrelenting stress. When I just called, and was told that Charlett will not speak to me because of your orders, I experienced a severe panic attack. You have crossed the line with harming me with documented mold that has caused documented medical issues and now your unrelenting punishment to silence me from exposing the fraud and your intimidation. You never never provided me with a hotel to avoid living in my mold infested unit which is documented. Your illegal behavior to silence me has caused immeasurable harm and you and Metropolitans Apartments will now be held liable. I have no where to move due to your intimidation and refusal to respond to my many questions regarding my move. Additionally, now Charlotte will not speak to me following your directions. You have violated countless federal and state statutes which is fully documenter. I would advise you that I have accepted the offer to be relocated to Metropolitan Highgate in writing.
Remember your concern over the fraudulent mold investigation by the director of maintenance stating that mold does not exist, was that I used profanity. Laura, since I have documented proof of your fraudulent mold report, refusal to relocate me to a safe hotel, 8 years of refusal to replace mold infested padding and carpeting, refusal to hire a mold remediation specialist to test my apartment for mold, refusal to have my apartment condemned, refusal to communicate my questions regarding my move, audacity to prevent Charlotte from communicating with me, refusal to pay for the installation of my television caused by the 4th flood during my 8 years of residency, but not limited to the above.
I have always paid my rent on time, and this is how you treat me because I exposed documented mold and fraud is appalling. The existence of mold is certainly not limited to my apartment!

Laura,
It is not the responsibility of the mover to install my television, it is the responsibility of Metropolitan Apartments that caused the flood. Do not continue to create false statements such as your definition of my responsibility of installing my television, since had my apartment not flooded for the 4th time in my 8 year residency caused by Metropolitan Apartments, I would not be forced to move to avoid contracting further health issues caused by my mold infested apartment. Metropolitan Apartment’s continued refusal to replace my mold infested padding, carpeting, and provide a professional mold remediation company during my 8 year residency to rid my apartment of the mold and mites caused by 4 floods, that has caused countless medical issues during my 8 year residency,
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court established the implied warranty of habitability in 1979, which cannot be waived by a lease. This legally binds landlords to provide residential properties that are safe, sanitary, and fit for human occupation, that Metropolitan Apartments has continually violated. You have repeatedly ignored my emails that I sent directly to you that are verfied of the dire living conditions in my unit. Your Director of Maintance Mr. Smith, provided a fraudulent mold report, stating that there is NO existance of mold after inspecting my mold infested apartment, despite paying my rent ontime and never being late in my 8 years of residency.
You have continually refused to move me to a hotel to avoid living in my mold infested uninhabitable apartment which has made my life a living hell. During my 8 year occupancy, my girlfriend was not able to spend the weekends due to the uninhabitable mold and mite infestation, that the report prepared by Mr. Smith stating that there is NO evidence of mold was fraudulent. Despite paying my rent on time for 8 years, Metropolitan Apartments has violated my right of implied hailitability.
As I stated in writing to you, I have accepted your offer of being relocated to Metropolitan Highgate, however, that does not mean that Metropolitan Ap[artments has a right to violate countless state and federal laws as the landlord. From my past experience, I donot expect you to respond to this email.
I will move in Tuesday September 2, 2025 as agreed.

Good Morning Mr. Bloch,
Thank you for reaching out. It is important to note that the email you forwarded indicated that you emailed me on Monday, August 25 at 12:40 pm which does not coincide with our record of emails received by our server from your email address. The only email we received from you on Monday was at 9:13am.
First, we must respectfully dispute your claim that we have never requested your medical documents or supporting proof of damages. On August 19, 2025 at 12:13 PM, I specifically stated:
“Please submit a complete itemized list of all damages you are claiming, including the dollar amount for each item and supporting documentation for each request. Examples of acceptable backup include receipts, invoices, estimates, photographs, and medical or other records you believe are relevant.”
Again, on August 20, 2025 at 9:34 AM, I wrote:
“You will need to provide a comprehensive written list of all damages you are claiming, including monetary amounts and supporting documentation.”
To date, despite these requests, you have not provided any of the supporting documentation that we asked for.
Second, with respect to moving costs, our offer to relocate you included covering the cost of professional movers to pack your belongings, and physically move your furniture from one apartment to another. However, removing the television mounting bracket from the wall and remounting it in your new apartment is not a service movers provide, nor was it something we offered to cover as part of your relocation. This relates to your personal choice of home decoration and does not fall within the scope of our responsibilities.
Third, it is important to recognize that the timeline for moving was delayed in part because you did not permit the movers’ representative, Robert, to conduct his initial walk-through until Monday, August 25, despite his availability over the weekend. As we have explained, the movers cannot finalize packing and scheduling without first conducting a visit. If you believe an immediate move is necessary, it is important that you prioritize responding both to our communications and to third parties such as the movers in order to avoid further delay.
That said, we are pleased to report that the township has now inspected your new apartment and we can move forward with finalizing your transfer. Attached is your welcome letter, which outlines the steps you will need to complete as soon as possible in order for us to issue your lease. You are welcome to begin moving small items into the apartment or staying overnight there once the items in the welcome letter have been completed and your lease is signed. We also understand from the movers that you have confirmed a packing and moving date of Tuesday, September 2, 2025, and that they will contact you directly should an earlier opening become available.
Please confirm if you would like to take possession of the apartment as early as tomorrow, August 28, 2025. If so, I will issue your lease through the resident portal for signature.
We look forward to your confirmation so we can complete the necessary steps.
Regards,
8/27/2025
Ms. Beyer,
As your emails have repeatedly stated, all communication must be in writing, which I have done.

Ms. Beyer,
After speaking to Mr. Deering this morning of O’Brian’s moving, he may not be able to move me until late this week, or possibly next week. As I repeatedly stated to you in countless emails, the existence of mold in my apartment has caused documented medical problems. My apartment is uninhabitable due to the existence of mold and mite infestation, and you have refused to provide alternate living arrangements to a safe living facility such as a hotel.

Dear Mr. Bloch,
We understand your desire to move as quickly as possible and want to reassure you that we are working diligently to accommodate your request to relocate to Metropolitan Highgate. That said, your participation in the process is essential to ensuring a timely transition.
As previously requested, please confirm whether you contacted Robert at O’Brian’s Moving, as we asked you to do on Friday. Your timely response and follow-through on this and other steps are critical, as failure to respond only delays your ability to move as quickly as possible.

Ms. Beyer,
As I have stated countless times in person to Caroline at the rental office, and to you in emails, the living conditions in my apartment are uninhabitable due to the mold and mite infestation caused by the 4th flood in my apartment during my 8 years of occupancy. I have now developed eye conditions which required an emergency hospital visit, and 2 eye doctor visits, which all were confirmed in my medical reports that my eye conditions were caused by the existence of mold in my apartment. I have never had any eye conditions prior to living in my mold and mite infested apartment. Additionally as I have repeatedly stated, since I have a severely damaged heart, breathing in the air is also extremely harmful to my damaged heart.
I have emailed you countless times to discuss alternate living arrangements, but your response was that you did not have any immediate apartments available, and did not provide a hotel to temporarily live in which would have provided a safe living environment. Yesterday, my girlfriend came over and after an hour she had to leave due to her burning and irritated eyes.
I have accepted your offer which I confirmed in writing to be relocated to Metropolitan Highgate Apartments across the street, and truly need to discuss many questions concerning my relocation. I have never been even one day late on my rent, and have made numerous friends during my residency including staff, but the living conditions have been extremely damaging to my health which has forced me to vacate. It has been weeks since notifying Metropolitan Apartments of my mold and mite infested apartment, and I have unfortunately lived in my uninhabitable apartment there for weeks. Is there any way I can move immediately since I cannot occupy my mold infested apartment any longer. I truly need to speak to you to discuss my many questions regarding my relocation.
Between the mold and mite infestation in my apartment, I really need you to call me Monday morning to discuss questions regarding my relocation.

Good Morning Mr. Bloch,
I just spoke with Robert Deering of O’Brian’s Moving and he has availability this weekend to stop by and conduct a quick visual for the packing. He also mentioned they likely have availability for a move mid-next week, which aligns perfectly with our inspection timeframe. Can you please call Robert to determine a time that he can stop by this weekend? His cell phone is 610-390-2043 and he is expecting your call.

Dear Mr. Bloch,
We are submitting the request for the township’s Certificate of Occupancy inspection for the Highgate apartment and are escalating our request so that it is addressed as soon as possible as a priority. Based on the township’s scheduling, we expect this to be completed by the end of next week. Once the inspection is complete and your lease and move-in requirements for the Highgate apartment have been completed, we will be able to provide you with access to the apartment if you would like to begin moving items before the movers are available.
We continue to contact reputable moving companies on your behalf; however, it is peak moving season and many licensed movers are booked several weeks out, which has made immediate scheduling a challenge. We will keep working to secure a mover as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you have your own preferred movers or if you would like to coordinate with friends or family to assist with your relocation, that remains an option.
For the one moving company that has indicated they have availability within the next two weeks, they will need to visit your home and assess what needs to be packed on your behalf in order to proceed with scheduling. Can you please provide several dates and times next week that they could stop out? I do not imagine their visit would be longer than 30 minutes.
Please let us know whether you would like to arrange access to begin moving items once the inspection is complete and the lease has been signed, and let us know if you plan to use your own movers or if you would prefer we continue securing a mover on your behalf.
As we have stated previously, if you believe your health is at risk by remaining in your current apartment, you should seek alternate accommodations immediately while we complete these steps.
For clarity for all parties, please keep all communications in writing and reply by email with your available access windows and move-in details.
Ms. Buyer,
It is unbearable breathing in the mold in my unit, and I do not want to wait 5 hours to be treated again at the hospital, so please respond.
Harry Bloch
Dear Mr. Bloch,
We had previously acknowledged your confirmation that you would like to transfer to Metropolitan Highgate. In order to complete the necessary preparations, we again request that you let us know if you have a preferred moving company.
If we do not receive your response regarding a moving company preference, we will proceed on the assumption that you would like us to select and schedule a licensed moving company on your behalf.
We look forward to your prompt response so we can move forward with scheduling.
Regards,
Ms. Beyer,
Rather than a simple conversation to potentially finalize the documented violations committed by Metropolitan Apartments, you have elected to further deny the existence of documented mold, not only within my apartment, but additionally in other units as verified in writing by my former neighbor forced to vacate.
I suggest that you read every email that I sent both to you, and Caroline, which were repeatedly ignored. .
I am most concerned for the health of other tenants, especially with vulnerable babies and children, whose apartments were tested for mold using the fraudulent meter reading measuring moisture and humidity, that DOES NOT detect mold as verified by expert mold remediation specialists. These unsuspecting parents must be alerted of the dangers of mold inhalation, especially to babies and children. The inhalation of toxic spores by babies and children whose immune systems are weak, may potentially be fatal.
Again, yes I wish to be relocated across the street at the sister property of Metropolitan Apartments due to the documented presence of mold present in 86 Mary Fran Drive, As the Vice President, you have repeatedly denied the overwhelming existence of mold in writing, that may be jeoporizating lives that were tested by a fraudulent meter reading.
You can potentially resolve this issue with a conversation, which you have repeatedly rejected as a Vice President.

I gave you countless opportunities to simply communicate by a conversation to finalize this matter. Your continued refusal to ignore the documented “unlawful violations” caused by Metropolitan Apartments will continue to be “legally” exposed, as is my right, rather than resolve this unpleasant matter by a simple conversation.
You will now be required to reply to the countless agencies now involved, and additionally, to the tenants whose complaints of mold were fraudulently tested by a useless meter measuring humidity and moisture, that DOES NOT identify the existence of mold.
Every tenant within the portfolio of Metropolitan Apartments who complained of the existence of mold in their apartment, and had the absurd and useless meter that measures moisture and humidity, must be contacted alerting them that the meter reader used by Metropolitan Apartments was fraudulent, and DOES NOT detect mold, as verified by countless mold remediation companies eager to testify to this fact. I will absorb the cost of having these mold experts testify as to the useless and fraudulent method of using a meter reader measuring moisture and humidity to detect mold.
I again accept the relocation to the sister complex of Metropolitan Apartments as also stated to Mr. Andy Heydt.

Laura,
I just had an extensive conversation with Mr. Heydt of West Chester Township regarding the documented violations you are deliberately ignoring in my apartment caused by Metropolitan Apartments, which has adversely affected my health that is “fully documented”. Your continued response to the documented mold infested apartment is to IGNORE, and sweep under the rug, which is “totally illegal”. Despite your continued refusal to receive the mold testing results in my mold infested unit, your avoidance of the evidence clearly contradicts your fraudulent statement of, “no evidence of mold”, derived from Mr. Smith’s useless and ineffective meter reading only measuring moisture and humidity.
I have communicated the fraudulent meter reading to Mr. Heydt, and he is well aware the reading does not detect mold. I have repeatedly requested a conversation with you to finalize this matter, but your approach of illegally ignoring the documented mold, has now worked its way up the ladder, to include multiple agencies which reflect the tip of the iceboard. As I repeatedly stated, I have agreed to be relocated to the sister property, however my damages caused by Metropolitan Apartments must be addressed in a conversation to finalize this matter.
I look forward to ending my pursuit of the nightmare uninhabitable mold infested apartment, however, this can only be accomplished through a conversation. Again, I will accept the relocation to the sister property, as I stated to Mr. Heydt by phone this morning, and reconfirmed in this letter. This ordeal should never have occured had Metropolitan Apartments not relied on the fraudulent meter reader identifying moisture and humidity.
I would like to end this immediately, however if you think for a moment that Metropolitan Apartments is doing me a favor by simply relocating me, I respectfully disagree. Due to Metropolitan Apartments negligence, fraudulent statement in writing by you of no existence of documented mold, and the use of a useless and fraudulent meter reader to detect mold, you Ms. Byer, have caused me to proceed exposing the documented fraud, documented pictures of black mold, and to “legally” exposure to all forms of social media and websites, alerting tenants of countless Metropolitan Apartments of the concealment of documented black mold, that is not unique to my apartment.
Again, I will stress, that a conversation is necessary to finalize this distasteful and avoidable matter. In the event that you continue to refuse to engage in an amicable conversation, please have the individual you report to call me.

Posted under reviews:
I had my 4th flood in my horrible, mold infested, illegal, and uninhabitable apartment during my unfortunate 8 year residency, caused by the corrupt landlord Metropolitan Apartments. Metropolitan Apartments sent their Director of Maintenance to my “illegal” mold infested Apartment after my 4th flood, and he used a meter reader that measures moisture and humidity, and DOES NOT detect mold!!!!!!! His fraudulent report given to me in writing stated that there is NO EVIDENCE OF MOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How convenient, using your own employee, rather than a professional mold remediation company, to honestly detect mold, that Metropolitan Apartments “FRAUDULENTLY DENIED” any evidence of mold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since their FRAUDULENT “concealment of “DOCUMENTED” mold infestation in my uninhabitable, dangerously toxic, and illegal apartment, I have become sick with eye illnesses and breathing issues. I informed Metropolitan Apartments of my emergency Chester County Hospital visit, and 3 eye doctor visits, in addition to another forthcoming eye doctor appointment, that ALL stated in my medical reports that my illnesses are directly caused by the mold in my apartment! Metropolitan Apartments, “TOTALLY IGNORED” my many emails from Chester County Hospital and all my doctor visits identifying the mold in my deplorable apartment as the cause of my illnesses.
Despite repeatedly informing Metropolitan Apartments of my illnesses caused by my mold, they REFUSED REFUSED REFUSED to transfer me to a hotel to protect my health from my documented mold infested, dangerous, uninhabitable, and illegal apartment!!!!
THEY TOTALLY IGNORED MY ILLNESSES CAUSED BY THE MOLD OF MY 4TH FLOOD in my unfortunate 8 years living in this uninhabitable, illegal, mold infested apartment, CAUSED BY METROPOLITAN APARTMENTS!!!! My rental payment has been perfect during my 8 years of HELL living at Metropolitan Apartments, and Metropolitan Apartments has REFUSED to give me my perfect rental history in order to find another apartment!!
I have a severely damaged heart and require a c-pap machine to breathe, and despite my severe medical problems, Metropolitan Apartments doesn’t give a damn about the damage the documented mold infestation has harmed my health!!
Since I have become sick, I ordered my own professional mold remediation report, since I was told by experts that the FRAUDULENT bullshit meter reader used by Metropolitan DOES NOT detect mold.
I have given the expert mold remediation report I personally ordered that was professionally sent to a lab, since I knew Metropolitan Apartments COMMITTED “FULLY DOCUMENTED” FRAUD and FRAUDULENT CONCEALMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS, I am certain that my apartment WILL BE DEFINITELY CONDEMNED after viewing my professional mold report exposing mold, that was fraudulently denied by Metropolitan.
To ALL investigating federal and state agencies, I refuse to vacate until the respective agencies have entered and tested my apartment.
Metropolitan Apartments has clearly VIOLATED numerous federal and state statutes, and will be held culpable for any and all damages, including but not limited to: inability to have my girlfriend sleep over due to mold infestation, required to leave windows and sliding glass door open while running my air conditioner, increased life-threatening panic attacks which are being treated for by two physicians, continuous eye irritation, eye burning, eye blurring, skin irritation caused by contact with mycotoxins, Constructive Eviction during my 8 years of residency, pain and suffering, heart damage breathing in mold infestation with my damaged heart, frequent headaches, constant musty odor, Defamation of Character, hostile environment, intimidation, but NOT limited to the above!!!!!!!
The fraud and concealment of mold infestation committed by Metropolitan Apartments is despicable, immoral, illegal, and damaging to one’s health, and will be exposed to all residents of Metropolitan Apartments.

Ms.Buyer,
Don’t dare explain to me what reputable landlords offer. I have been in the Real Estate field for 40 years, and the first thing I learned was to never commit fraud, never provide fraudulent information that will be scrutinized by the authorities, never never conceal documented housing violations that causes an unsuspecting tenant to become ill, especially the documented violations, never provide a fraudulent report falsifying the documented existence of a housing violation that the tenant relied upon causing fully documented illnesses, if a property I owned caused a tent’s illness, I always provided an alternate safe housing environment, since the violations were NOT the fault of an unsuspecting tenant.
You statement of “reputable” landlords is categorically not applicable to Metropolitan Apartments, that is fully documented!
I assume you now realize that there are other agencies investigating the “fully documented” fraudulent concealment of mold infestation that you Laura, Metropolitan Apartments, Mr. Smith, and Ian, but NOT limited to the above, falsely stated in writing that there is NO existence of mold infestation.
You destroyed my life with your “documented fraud” that has caused medical problems, and Mr. Smith’s fraudulent meter reader was despicable.
Now you and Metropolitan Apartments have been exposed, and my apartment is being investigated by the authorities, who you can no longer deny the existence of mold infestation, uninhabitability, fraudulent mold reports, refusal to provide a safe living environment such as a hotel, but NOT limited to the above.
The Statute of Limitations is 2 years, during which time I will continually expose the “fully documented” fraud committed by you and Metropolitan Apartments.

Dear Mr. Bloch,
We have received your request for a rental reference letter. It is not our business practice to provide rental reference letters. We are, however, able to provide you with a copy of your ledger, which you also have access to 24/7 through the resident portal at www.YourMetropolitan.com.
Because we transitioned to a new software system in April 2024, that is as far back as our ledger records can go for purposes of providing a copy.
Please note that most reputable landlords offering rental housing will conduct a landlord reference directly. When such a reference request is received from a landlord, we will gladly complete it.
Regards,
Laura,
I have repeatedly requested the rental reference letter stating that I have had a perfect rental history during my entire occupancy to vacate my mold infested, illegal, uninhabitable, apartment that you and Metropolitan Apartments have fraudulently ignored, and fraudulently provided a mold report illegally stating that there is NO evidence of mold.
Your despicable and fraudulent conduct has now forced me to vacate my deplorable apartment without my rental reference letter that is needed to apply to a safe living unit, rather than remain in my mold infested uninhabitable apartment that you Laura, and Metropolitan Apartments have concealed and ignored that constitutes both civil and felony offenses.
I am searching for an apartment, however, your deliberate refusal to provide my rental reference letter stating that my rental history is perfect has delayed my ability to move.
Laura, your deliberate illegal actions have created a hostile environment, and you deliberately have abused my rights of quiet enjoyment, my right of habitability, and you have knowingly abused a senior citizen with documented medical problems. Furthermore, your fraudulent concealment of the mold infestation has caused irreparable harm.

Good Afternoon Mr. Bloch,
I wanted to provide an important update. Because you canceled your transfer and have not provided a date that you plan to vacate, your corrected balance due for the month of September, inclusive of utilities, is $1,711.94.
We wanted to make sure you are aware of this correction.
Regards,
Hello,
For September at East Goshen, the amount currently scheduled to be withdrawn through your autopay on September 5, 2025, is $96.94. Please see the details from your portal below for your reference:

Best Regards,
Caroline, the only number I desperately need is the auto payment on September 5 for the exact amount. Every time my accountant speaks to me he bills me. Please just give me the total number for September 5 to be deducted.
Before I move, I want to take you & Megan out for dinner.

Caroline, thanks for all your help. What exact date will the $96.94 be deducted from my account?
Tell me what kind of dog cookies your does likes & I will bring it into the office.
Thanks Harry
Hello Harry,
I received your voicemail about the rent for September.
There is no rent charge for September at Metropolitan East Goshen as you are transferring to Highgate. Your only balance due at East Goshen is $96.94 for July utilities.
Best Regards,
Good morning Harry,
For the month of September at East Goshen, you will only be responsible for paying your July utilities in the amount of $96.94, as August utilities have not yet been billed.
Regarding your Highgate apartment, please refer to your lease agreement and the welcome home letter that was previously sent to you.
Best Regards,

Please be advised that despite alerting Caroline repeatedly of the “fully documented” dangerous health conditions both in person, as well as by emails (Fully documented), you have refused to relocate me to another apartment or hotel to protect my health from further damage. You ignored my emergency hospital visit due to swollen eyes, blurred vision from rubbing, and constant irritation due to the widespread mold conditions which is despicable. For your edification, I had an appointment today with an eye specialist, and upon examination the doctor clearly stated in my report that my eye condition was caused by the existence of mold in my apartment.
Additionally, my cardiologist has stated that the existence of breathing in mold is highly toxic to my damaged heart. I have already been harmed in my eyes as is “fully documented” by the emergency hospital report. As you are fully aware, I have a severely damaged heart, and I pray that my heart is not further damaged to suffer a stroke, heart attack, or death caused by breathing the toxic mold in my uninhabitable apartment fraught with mold..
Caroline’s responses:
Monday: The team is working on it’
Tuesday: The team is working on it.
Wednesday: NO RESPONSE
Metropolitan’s deliberate negligence is “fully documented”,and will now be held liable for my eye issues, stressful panic attacks caused by your neglect,, and especially the inhaling of the mold ridden unit deadly to my heart.
