LIMA, OH (WLIO) -Â One Lima City Council member is working toward improving the relationship between Lima housing tenants and their landlords.
Sixth Ward Councilman Derry Glenn held a community meeting Tuesday evening for tenants and landlords at the Wingate Hotel in Lima to initiate a conversation on how to address complaints received about housing situations in Lima's Sixth Ward. On Tuesday, Glenn discussed respective tenant and landlord responsibilities within the State of Ohio and received input from the public on problems being observed, and received suggestions to help establish a future goal.
"My goal is to build a relationship, a bridge with the landlords, and that's what I am here to do. I am not here to point fingers at each one of us; no, I am going to hear them out so I can make some decisions. So, I can work on helping that landlord out who needs some help with their homes and stuff, you know, and that having problems with tenants that can come and talk to them and work with them if anything that I need to work with them on," says Derry Glenn, Sixth Ward Councilor, Lima City Council.
Glenn also says there will be another meeting on the issue in December.
