We've been working with tenants living in the Henry Stout Senior Apartments in Dubuque for the past 3 months. When we first got wind of what was happening in the Henry Stout Apts we spoke with three tenants who told us about ongoing illegal entries into units by the maintenance man, tenants being threatened with evitction for speaking out, one tenant having heat that had been out for months, bed bugs, and a number of other issues.
We reached out to Paramark Real Estate Services, their property management group, in March and they agreed to meet with us and then refused to respond to multiple requests for a date and time to meet. Paramark thinks they can abuse these tenants and threaten their way out of accountability but they're wrong.
We need to let Paramark know that we're not going to be silent and we won't stand for their bad behavior. We need you to make a call and/or send an email to Paramark's office and agents on May 1st and demand that they meet with their tenants in good faith using the script below. If you register here, closer to May 1st we'll follow up with their phone number and email address.
"Hello I am calling with Iowa CCI on behalf of the tenants at the Henry Stout Senior Apts. You agreed to meet with these tenants and then refused to respond with a date and time. A good faith landlord or property management group would hear out their tenants' concerns and work with them to make everyone content. You need to setup a time to meet with Veronica, Steve, Leann, and other tenants of the Henry Stout Apts. by May 5th."
