Monica DeLancy Timeline

I have been residing in Lake Crossing Apartments for 4 years since 2015 with my 2 children

My rent is $1107 a month I have been paying the rent plus an extra $200 a month for late fees

In July 2019 I received a note on my door that I would be charged a fee for trash that was in front of my apartment I disputed the charge and stated that it was not my trash Then I was notified by the apartment complex that they would not renew my lease in August because I pay my rent late

I filed bankruptcy in August which I was granted a stay I was notified by my bankruptcy attorney in October that I would be notified by the Cobb magistrate court on a refiling date and I did not receive it , I called Cobb County magistrate court 2 weeks ago and I inquired about another court date and at that time was informed there was nothing filed on me since July 2019 On Today December 12, 2019 I was evicted and after I contacted my bankruptcy attorney I was informed that I did not show up in court on November 8th which I was not informed about , the eviction team put my furniture out my children’s Christmas tree outside. If I was notified about the November 8th court date in Cobb County Magistrate court I would have had a chance to work out a payment plan, discuss lease options and at the time if the payment plan was rejected then I would I have went home and packed up my bags and prepared for the move. On today I could not pack

the eviction team hauled my things outside.The eviction team did not get all my stuff out and I will not be allowed to go back inside the apartment and get my papers and my children’s pictures. I have moderate income on an educator’s salary, raising 2 children one is a special needs child the other is a sophomore in college. I know the eviction process well and I am bewildered to fact that I was not notified about a hearing date scheduled for November 8th. I never miss a court date. I’m still going to fight no matter what

Yes they put me out the voice for Renters. This is about me. Monica DeLancy the Renters voice

My children will be forever traumatized by this event

House bill 346 states no retaliation for Renters who speak up

Well I did and I did not get my say in court Monica DeLancy When Renters speak up they are evicted
