Moved into studios at 2800(casa manages this establishment) ...2 weeks in I discover my room has BED BUGS. I tell staff amd their response is that I brought the bed bugs and that hes throwing me out the next day. Mind you, I was staying with a friend in a 2500 a month 5 bedroom home in the suburbs off fox road before I came here and my friend doesn't have bed bugs ...so I definitely didn't bring them. Come to find out the senior citizen in room 219 (room next door) that has a pacemaker and lives there paying his entire disability check...his room is absolutely infested. Bed was stained...they were EVERYWHERE....so they came over from next door. Raeford knew this because the day after I told him we had bugs...he went up and threatened this poor old man and told him not to say or sign anything or he'd have nowhere to go to! He called the police and tried to have us thrown out but I had to get my ducks in a row and get somewhere else to go so we asked for the police officers supervisor and the supervisor told him that we were tenants and had to be evicted (the the police supervisor to call their lawyer, the lawyer told them this)...so if you find yourself living in this dump...just know after 7 consecutive nights.. .he can't throw you out. He has to serve you with eviction papers. Anyways I had to rent a storage unit, buy a $25,000 camper and put it on a $650 a month lot at Christmas time. Then found out a week after moving into a camper that I'm pregnant. This place ruined my kids christmas,depleted my savings, and wouldn't even hire a professional to treat my belongings. I was only there for 2 or 3 weeks. So come to this establishment ran by casa at your own risk. 221 and 219 are infested. Roaches everywhere too. CASA runs it and Enoch holloway...their rep...also tried to throw me out. Fighting homelessness??..more like CREATING HOMELESSNESS.. but didn't even know the laws and that they had to evict me first. They tried to throw me out as soon as i reported the infestation, with nowhere to go and not even give me time to find a place. Mind you, I had a uhaul truck full of belongings, furniture and everything. They almost caused me to lose everything. City of raleigh owns this place. Casa runs it. But they won't address an infestation and pregnant women being thrown out bc of their disgusting establishment.
So this was my experience with property being managed by CASA and I wasn't even homeless, until they threw me out with bed bugs infesting my belongings and refused to even treat my things, after staff threatened and scared the man next door who's room was absolutely infested, into not speaking to for himself or talking to the news for me. Corruption at its finest.
