"Brooks said her issues are ones that many of the residents at the complex share. Instead of working light fixtures on her ceiling, peeling drying hung down. It was a result of an unfixed leak, Brooks explained.

'They could actually give us livable units,' Brooks said. 'They could come [to] fix the minor problems. Just get rid of the mold. If anything. Fix the leaking AC units.'

When asked if Brooks considered moving, she said it's not in the cards with rising rent prices everywhere.

'No,' Brooks said. 'Rent is way above what I can afford right now. So I’m literally stuck, I have no choice.'"

Martisa Brooks brought 10 Tampa Bay into her apartment, showing us the damage she's dealt with for years.

"The Tampa Tenants Union (TTU) has been in touch with some residents there, who are now talking with some tenants about next steps to address the problems at the complex. TTU has teamed up with tenants to push back on unfair landlord practices around Tampa for the past year, including recently at Holly Court Apartments in North Tampa.

'This is the worst we've seen yet,' said Bratton Young of TTU. 'These conditions are a violation of human rights.'"

The property management company has a history of serious complaints from around Florida.
