Two tenants filed a class-action lawsuit against Lake Arbor apartments with at least 100 other people who lived there joining in.
An attorney for the apartment complex sent Channel 9 this statement about the Lawsuit:
And now, the apartment complex is responding to their lawsuit.
Families were so upset at one point, they took a bag of fake rats to the city council to make a point about what they said they were dealing with and now they want a refund.
"My clients dispute the allegations in the complaint and will vigorously contest the lawsuit."
