Our apartment complex has been managed by a company called McKinley and Associates and this place has went downhill fast. It used to be a nice, family type place and now it is dirty,nothing gets repaired, trash is left everywhere and they only seem to rent to the Mexican population, no other group of people seem to get rented to now and I was wondering if anyone knew about this company and if the same thing has happened to other apartments that they have managed. Ps- I must say I don't hate Mexicans or anything like that, I am just saying it would be nice if other groups of people lived here too, I would like it to be mixed.

You might be able to research the co. online to get the address of the main office.
Send a letter to the complex manager( make a copy and keep the original for your files) describing the conditions and take photos.
If you do not get results send another letter certified mail Return receipt requested. IF you still don't get results send a letter of complaint to the co. and file a complaint with your local housing authority,the B.B.B. or chamber of commerce.
You can also send copies of the complaints with copies of your photos to your state attorney general and the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development in Washington D.C.
By law,the owner of the property or their agent (landlord/manager)must maintain the property in a safe and inhabitable condition.
Under some conditions you may be able to withhold rent payment until conditions improve (put the money in an escrow account so you have it to pay back rent). Consult with an attorney before taking any actions.
