In the country’s most expensive rental market, everyone has a housing story. This one is a fiasco.
332 Fern Court was supposed to be home for three UC Santa Cruz students. Instead, it’s a drafty 1970s house with a dead furnace and a busted water pipe. Enter Anita Patel, a landlord who governs by her own Tenant Responsibilities 101 handbook and insists the non-functioning furnace isn’t a problem because “it’s not East Coast cold,” and that the tenants are to blame for the busted water pipe. But Anita has finally met her match in Rachel Levi. Rachel is a mother on a mission who refuses to let the damage, or any injustice, go unchallenged. As the conflict escalates, so do the consequences.
