Misleading tenants, making false assumption, and racist connotation toward African-American Tenants, and filing frivolous dispossess after making a verbal agreement.
Why is this important?
I need to address a situation concerning my son, and his mom regarding a summons to dispossess. Ms. Williams attempted to move out at the end of last year after her employer cut her hours as a teacher with Central Georgia Technical College. I had paid for a rented truck from U-Haul for her on my credit card, and this I have receipt of. The leasing office persuaded her that she did not have to move out. They said, “the office would work with her until she got her tax return in January of this year.”
Before this fact, Ms. Williams has never been belated on her rent. She categorically decided to stay under the supposition she had fortification from the leasing office, which were unbeknownst to the owner. They placed a pre-eviction notice on her apartment; she subsequently called the employees at the leasing office, and they told her not to worry that is a standard process.
This is the gist of this situation, which is an overzealous practice seeking finality instead of seeking the truth. An all too familiar process by this leasing company, and these owners has stigmatized her for future rental contracts. I wholeheartedly acknowledge the fact she has missed her January rent; however, this is predicated on a decision by the leasing office.
We have two options here, either I pay her rent, and this goes away with her unscathed, and she then move out this week, or your company rescind this dispossession, and I still pay the one month rent minus the money I had to spend to rent the U-Haul with this going away quietly. I would prefer the latter! I told her to move once her apartment got infested with bedbugs, and she had to throw all of her furniture away.
O.C.G.A. Section 44-7-52 states, “When tender of payment by tenant serves as complete defense. In an action for nonpayment of rent, the tenant shall be allowed to tender to the landlord, within seven days of the day the tenant was served with the summons pursuant to Code Section 44-7-51, all rents allegedly owed plus the cost of the dispossessory warrant. Such a tender shall be a complete defense to the action; provided, however, that a landlord is required to accept such a tender from any individual tenant after the issuance of a dispossessory summons only once in any 12 month period.”
Paying any court cost isn’t an option towards this egregious mistake by your unprofessional staff. This is beyond the standards of the quid pro quo. Furthermore, I was on a three-way phone call with Ms. Williams. Your staffs made a racist connotation toward her that she did not understand since she was reared in Florida. I will be 51 years old this year, and I have seen this play, and it is straight out of the playbook of the racist south I saw numerous of times before in Macon, Georgia.
That is the crucial motivations why I am informing the local chapter of NAACP, and notifying the H.U.D. of this horrendous racist, and discriminatory acts. Sadly, and wretchedly, this cowardly act happened in the same week we celebrated the greatest civil rights icon in this century, Dr. Martin Luther King. I thought we had moved on from these policies of hate and fear mongering.
The ghost of Jim Crow is alive and well now we have to deal with his grandson, and granddaughter, James and Jane Crow; Esq, under the guise of Richard Crosby, et al! Presently, I am organizing a boycott on all social medias, moveon.org, NAACP, all African-American churches locally, and I am alerting the press in Central Georgia. Your company drew first blood, and this is our rejoinder to your racist actions.
I don’t expect your company to get in touch with me because I am an African-American, and you all have high disregards for my kind of people. If you all chose to step up to the plate like a business, I can be reach at 478-262-4858. This is not going away; your company have chance to right this wrong before this ticking bomb of public relation blows up in your face.
