I'm Evicting an 87-Year-Old Grandmother. Why? BED BUGS

This week I'm evicting an 87-year-old grandmother and her relatives are pissed. But wait, there's more. First of all, they're mad at us for evicting her. We're not. We're non-renewing her lease. And this is why right here. These are what you call bed bugs. Do we let our tenants get gross bed bugs? No. This came up in a routine health and safety inspection. This is how bad that unit was. Even worse, we got a notice of her past year's inspection from housing authority. And guess what happened then? There were bedbugs then, and she did not report them. Here's a magic thing that happens with bedbugs. This is a 55+ community. Uh, they get through the walls, they get in your plumbing, they get in the wiring, they get to all the other units. And so if we allowed this person to stay, who is a serial offender of allowing bedbugs to absolutely eat her alive, the rest of our tenants will have the same problem. So we made the decision to not renew her. I am not in a position to help this woman. She is getting eaten by bugs, she cannot take care of herself, and her family does not care enough to help her out and get her a place where she actually needs assisted living. Even better, her family member decided to let me know that he's a very well-off politician who owns $11 million of rentals and chose to let her get eaten by bugs instead of let her live in one of his properties. What a dick. So before you get mad at me for evicting an 87-year-old lady, I am doing her a favor. We're going to help in any way we can and get her housing, and we're non-renewing her lease. We're not evicting her. I wish her the absolute best, but she's not safe here. I'm doing her a favor.
