A woman is staying in a homeless shelter after being kicked out of her home.

She claims her apartment manager is to blame for not keeping the building at 22nd and Jones in proper shape.

"One minute the water won't work and the next minute it will,” Christina LeCompte said.

Water is just one problem in a slew of issues she says she's experiencing at her apartment unit.

"Why can't I get all the water off in the house? I never get all the water off,” LeCompte said .

She claims the last three months have been a living nightmare.

"I can see that there is some water coming under it....from under it,” LeCompte said. "I took the base board off, it was full of mold, put the blanket under that and left for maybe 45 minutes, came back, and the blanket was soaked."

She unplugs her appliances fearing the electrical circuits will shock her.

"Like needles. Like somebody just poked you with needles. Any old place...and then my bones get to hurting. My bones hurt right now,” LeCompte said .

An inspection report lists code violations from deteriorating kitchen and bathroom sink cabinets to unlicensed outlet installation.

"I've heard, 'Well, that's Dave Paladino,'” LeCompte said.

She's not the only one who has heard of the landlord's reputation.

"The horror stories that we've heard from him...I mean, I couldn't even count,” Simon Hinton, co-founder of Omaha Tenant United said.

Hinton helps Omaha residents living in troubled conditions.

He's had numerous run-ins with Paladino and his 22nd St. and Jones St. property.

"A couple moved in there and they were literally having rats and insects crawling out of their drains, there was like a weird odor coming out of their drains and stuff and it was making the wife sick,” Hinton said.

Hinton said Paladino wouldn't let them out of their lease.

"They know they can take advantage of individuals, easily. They expect them to not understand the laws or know what their rights are and they'll exploit that," he said.

LeCompte told 6 News she's been evicted from the apartment for not being able to pay her rent.

She's waiting for Omaha Housing Authority to help with the remainder of the payment.

6 News was not able to reach Dave Paladino for comment.
