Online, the Miramar Apartments in Jacksonville are described as a “resort-style” paradise, but pictures and videos of the building tell a different story.

Furious tenants claim they’re battling a host of issues, including rampant mold, broken plumbing, and uncollected trash.

Many residents say the complex has become a dangerous place to live as squatters occupy empty units, and the building is in various states of disrepair.

“We don’t know who is allowed to be here and who is not,” one tenant told Fox local affiliate WJAX.

“Squatters are everywhere.”

The apartments, some of which cost $1,200 a month, are occupied by tenants struggling to find affordable housing elsewhere.

Despite paying up to $1,225 for a two-bedroom, renters say the living conditions are unbearable.

Currently the apartments are $779 a month.

“There’s mold everywhere, It’s like living in a swamp,” another tenant shared.

Residents complain of broken air conditioning and heating systems, with some forced to rely on a single unit in their living rooms to cool or heat their homes.

The complex, designed for low-income residents, has been plagued with problems for months.

Squatters and trash have become a growing issue, with overflowing dumpsters left unsorted for weeks.

“I can’t leave. I can’t afford to go anywhere else,” a tenant explained.

“The rent is just too high for us to move.”

In 2023, Jacksonville city inspectors found numerous violations at the complex, including cracked ceilings, sagging floors, and insect infestations.

The landlord has made no effort to fix these issues, according to tenants.

For some, the mold and plumbing problems have become too much to bear.

“It’s impossible to live like this, I feel trapped” one resident said.

Despite the deteriorating conditions, the apartments remain a lifeline for many, as the high cost of living in Jacksonville leaves few affordable alternatives.

“You can’t leave if you have nowhere else to go, we’re stuck,” another resident said.

Miramar Apartments didn’t immediately respond to the request for a comment by The U.S. Sun.
