Irvine Company had the nerve to contact my lawyer and agree to let me out of my lease at no cost, as long as I remove my review and photographs. That’s not how it works! For starters, Irvine Company and management at The Village are continuously committing crime and breaking the law. Second:posting legitimate/honest reviews and photos is the first amendment! By stating such ignorant crap, Irvine Company is clearly displaying their corrupt and illegal ways of doing business. That “negotiation” alone is called bribery!

Irvine Company and The Village illegally defamed my character, telling my lawyer I “staged the photos” at The Village (where I reside). How stupid could one be!? Stating such is only getting Irvine Company and The Village in deeper legal trouble and more serious media exposure.

Irvine Company and The Village have continuously violated numerous Civil Codes and Ordinances for many years. Irvine Company needs to stop breaking the law, cease engaging in unfair business practices, stop all shoddy business tactics and immediately correct their actions.

I’m fine paying the remaining months of my lease while renting elsewhere just to keep my legitimate review and photos online and continue exposing Irvine Company and The Village to the media. It’s not a financial issue to me; it’s principal.

It’s unbelievable how clueless and ignorant Irvine Company and its employees are. Emails with time stamped photos attached between myself, management at The Village and Corporate Customer Care are saved, dating back to May 2014. So, If said photos were “staged”, why didn’t Irvine Company speak up then and/or do anything about it?

Either way, Irvine Company and management at The Village have a legal obligation to make certain the property/dwelling is kept in every part clean, sanitary and free from all accumulation of debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodent and vermin pursuant to Civil Code § 1941.1(a)(6). What’s their reason for allowing trash to sit outside apartments for days and even longer than a week?

Further, pursuant to Civil Code § 1942.4, Irvine Company is prohibited from collecting rent for a premises when it’s in violation of Civil Code § 1941.1. In return, tenants are titled to reimbursement for their rent they paid while the premises have been uninhabitable.

Irvine Company and management at The Village are continuously maintaining a nuisance. They continuously fail to enforce paragraph 13 of the lease by allowing illegal Airbnb business to be conduct at the property. They have been informed of this matter many times and negligently give it the blind eye and deaf ear. The only thing Irvine Company and management at The Village did was send a sugarcoated, generic letter to all tenants at The Village, informing said tenants that it’s violation of the lease to sublease their unit (aka operating an illegal Airbnb business in one’s unit).

Paragraph 13 of the lease specifically states it is a violation of the lease for any tenant to “advertise the Premises on Airbnb, Couchsurfing, Craigslist, or any other advertisement or listing service”.

Further, aside from paragraph 13 of said lease, it is a violation of the Irvine Municipal Code to operate an establishment allowing transient occupancy without obtaining a transient occupancy registration certificate from the City’s Manager of Fiscal Services, and without paying the corresponding transient occupancy tax.

Allowing such illegal activity to be conducted at The Village places all tenant lives and safety at risk. Anyone from anywhere could illegally rent a unit for days, weeks or even months at a time with no credit or criminal background check required. That means murderers, rapists, thieves, drug dealers, pimps, etc. could rent any Airbnb unit and only required to have a valid Airbnb account, credit card and drvier’s license.

Considering how Irvine Company and The Village are illegally and falsely accusing the disgusting trash at the property to be “staged”, they must insist the disgusting trash is also staged at the properties, such as The Park. Irvine Company and Management illiterately stating such ignorant crap will only get them into deeper legal trouble and more serious media exposure. My Google photos (not staged either) of The Village and disgusting trash was posted 3 weeks ago and within the first 3 weeks, it accumulated more than 61,000 views. That’s 3 weeks only.

The Village in Irvine, California really isn’t safe. I obtained a police report and arrestee roster for the first 6 months of 2016. Within the first 6 months, 31 serious crimes (theft only) at The Village alone, were committed and reported to Irvine Police. Surly those weren’t staged. A sanitized and redacted copy of the police report is included in the Google photos. Unfortunately, crime at The Village has nearly doubled within the last few months.
