Detroit woman on oxygen says apartment’s electrical failures have forced her to live by daylight
Cawana Kemp, a resident of Chalmers Apartments in Detroit, has faced persistent electrical issues since last year, which have disrupted her daily life, particularly as she relies on oxygen. Despite a legal agreement where Kemp resumed rent payments in exchange for repairs, the management only partially fixed the issues, leaving Kemp dependent on daylight for activities. Management claims to be addressing a backlog of repairs, but confusion persists around Kemp's tenancy terms, with Kemp unaware of a "Cash for Keys" agreement. The building is not city-approved as a rental, prompting city officials to consider legal support for tenants facing potential evictions.
