According to a Robbins village spokesperson, the landlord of several apartment complexes owes $137,000 in water bills.
According to a Robbins village spokesperson, the landlord of several apartment complexes owes $137,000 in water bills – all while collecting rent from his tenants with individual water bills calculated into their payments.
"These monies are collected by the current landlord who has been negligent in his obligation to pay the water bill for each individual unit of housing," the village spokesman wrote."However, he continues to collect the rent payments monthly from his tenants." The village said the landlord's"blatant irresponsibility" predates the current mayor's administration – and Mayor Darren E. Bryant has been sensitive to the needs of tenants and has not shut off the water during the winter months in the past.
"The administration has also made numerous documented and undocumented forms of communications with the landlord in effort to clear the debt, but to no avail," the village spokesman wrote."The landlord has failed on numerous occasions to honor payment plans set forth by the Village of Robbins to rectify this matter.""Do what needs to be done, because regardless of what you have going on at this level, there are families living in this building," he said.
We reached out to the landlord of the apartment complexes for comment. A spokesperson said the Village of Robbins is overcharging on the water bill by $30,000.
