Many of the properties in Isla Vista are aged and weathered over time from the ocean air. Unsurprisingly, these old homes can break easily, have poor insulation and ventilation, etc. I know many students who have had extreme cases of black mold in their homes; when the residents contacted their leasing company Meridian Group, they failed to respond in a timely manner and didn’t send in an inspector for weeks.
In this petition I propose to pass a Santa Barbara county-wide mandate that if residents residing in Isla Vista file a complaint about black mold, leaks in the home, and other unsafe conditions, leasing companies must respond to the request within 24-48 hours.

About time someone looked into this. Landlords in IV treat students like trash because they know we don't have other options. Fix the houses!
Woohoo go Juliet

Meridian is the worst. I lived in a place with a massive leak last year and it took them forever just to pick up the phone. My roommate got so sick from the mold it ruined our finals week.
