"When u live in a HUD, building, u do not have freedom of speech, being a mentally disabled tenant living at the Chester Arthur Housing building i was evicted due to having a confrontation with the site manager, reporting me to the housing authority Attorney that I cursed at her, and hud lease says u should not, but it's wrong, because this site manager has a power trip, and runs the building and speaks to the tenants provoking their mental state of mind,u are denied a grievance hearing, goes straight to trial and is evicted leaving your possession behind, because the sheriff knock on the door, says, time to go, how can life be this way, being mentally disabled and homeless in this weather, with your state of mind in chaos, and is worst mental that without your support animals, you would end up in crisis. Mental health is no fun, but u are placed in a building that caters to your disability, and to find out the site manager, has no regards to your situation, and speaks to you as if you are a nonentity, all because you reported her to her manager, for talking down to you in front of another tenant, she has the power to have you gone, and she did. I am taking this to the highest level of the disability act until something is done about mis treatment of tenants under this Site Manager supervision."
