She is a miserable person with serious control issues. She likes to meddel in tenants personal lives and when she doesn't get what she wants will threaten eviction.

About 4 months into my efforts I found out that I had very early stage cancer that was able to be treated with surgery. I also had a very tra matic event happened in my home that required biohazard cleanup. Because of these events I had to step back from organizing tenants.

    Font - beyondinfinitibeyond OP 10 hr. ago She was at the annual meeting and saw the whole thing live. She stormed out after the vote and I heard there was talk of quitting but she won't go through with it. It was beautiful to see the look on her face when I smiled and waved to her after the vote. I saw her today and she would not even look in my direction. 946 Reply Share
