I don't know about others, but I'm surprised this hasn't happened numerous times before. It seems that in Fort Madison certain landlords get by with a lot more than others. I rented from my former landlords for nearly 4 years. There was not a single inspection on my initial apartment or my house that entire time---and there were definitely violations.

Yet Doug Krogmeier was bordering on harrassment with my mother's landlord after he bought her property in his "need" to do an inspection, even though that landlord's properties are some of the better rental homes (not apartments) in town because he does a good job with upkeep and hiring licensed people to do the necessary work.

I hope Happyland's suit shines a bright light on the shady practices of quite a few FM landlords get away with, not to mention how much pull the generations of 'the good ole boys club' have when it comes to city officials from the top down.
