Remove the Problematic Rental Property from Our Residential Neighborhood

The Issue

I am a resident on Hardisty Road in Fort Wayne, IN, USA, and my neighborhood is being disrupted by a single rental property. This house stands out as an eyesore amidst our otherwise peaceful and well-maintained community. Over the years, this rental property has been home to various families who have caused numerous problems for us - the long-term residents.

We have experienced break-ins and vandalism that we believe are linked to these transient tenants. On more than one occasion, trash was burned on their premises resulting in paint cans exploding and debris blowing into my yard. It was a dangerous incident that could have easily resulted in damage to my house or harm to my children or pets.

The front of this rental property is often littered with trash and car parts which not only defaces our neighborhood but also poses potential hazards for children playing nearby. Currently, there's even a semi-truck with a full-size trailer parked outside!

This situation threatens not just our quality of life but also our property values. According to data from The Appraisal Institute (2014), properties located near poorly maintained homes can experience up to 10% decrease in value.

We cannot allow this single rental property to degrade our beloved community any further! We urge local authorities in Fort Wayne, IN, USA to take action against this problematic rental home for the safety and well-being of all residents.

Please sign this petition if you stand with us in preserving the integrity of our residential neighborhood!
