Re: “Kent couple loses apartment eviction battle; must move” (Kent Reporter, Aug. 15). When I read this article I wanted to call the tenants and give them free advice.
Not to fight it. You do not have a chance. Just move.
I do understand how they feel. I was an apartment manager in Kent for almost 13 years, and what a nightmare it was doing the owner’s dirty work. I was blamed for things, too, as I am sure the manager at Bryson Square is being blamed.
The law is the law and unless it is changed there is nothing a tenant can do. It is unfair to blame the manager at the complex.
Now these tenants will have to pay all court costs, and it will be on their credit report. It hurts them, not the owner of the complex. The same thing just happened last month to a friend of mine in another Kent apartment complex. They gave them a notice to move after living there for seven years. It is not right, and I told her you can’t fight it, move and save the money.
By law you do not have to give a reason, just a 20-day notice after they collect your monthly rent. That is why I bought my own place.
My heart goes out to the tenants and the manager. I see both sides.
