text: do nice people get evicted???? i was evicted when a neighbor stole checks from my husband and i.  she wracked up over $1700 in stolen money from mine and my husbands account. including stealing jewelery worth over $1000.  we couldn't afford our housing cost or any other cost while catching up to pay her debt back to the bank.  the other crappy thing is that she wasn't supposed to be on the apartment grounds yet the managers knew that she was and didn't do anything.  she wasn't supposed to be on the property for "priors" but the managers felt sorry for her. end result: my husband and i and our 3 children were put on the street and evicted.  she was never charged with anything other than what the police could catch her for which was a $300. check she cashed infront of a camera.  she got a years probation, and a $100. fine. now i can't get into hud housing and have recently divorced my husband and have nowhere to go with three children ages2 to 6. now now now ....no need to make a list of what she's got and doesn't and what she should not have or what she shouldn't be on. 1) her computer might have been a gift, or she got it dirt cheap, or her credit is good enough to finance a great pc for pennies a month. 2) she has to be under a certain income bracket for section 8 to accept her, otherwise she wouldn't have it.she's got three children and sometimes even a working married couple may not be able to afford it all. 3) it's not a sin to have children, and who is anyone to tell anyone to have their tubes tied, you never know, maybe one of her children might be the future president of the usa and change everything for the better.  4) i have a $12,000 wedding set and if i ever went on welfare, they cannot deny me or make me sell it, simply because of the value of the rings.  5)her internet connection? c'mon, i have super fast dsl and all i pay is $14 per month.internet isn't expensive.  now my opinion on the matter; how awful that this happened to you  firstly. i feel very sorry for you.if they were just the managers, why couldn't you speak to the owner before the eviction was final? also, you could have spoken up in court and let the judge know about the situation that got you there in the first place? i know it's too little and too late, but what you can do is let this neighbors apartment manager know what she did to you. and you can take this neighbor to court. show the judge her police records of theft and show the judge the debt she caused you to have with the bank etc. you can take her to small claims court and possibly recover what she stole and damages as well (like costs for looking for a new apartment+ security first and last month, utility deposits etc. you can also sue the management that evicted you as well, for allowing this neighbor with her priors on the premises, which caused all of this.  find the strength to look for a place to live. look towards apartment agencies which will look for a place for you even the section 8 office should have a list.  learn by your mistakes, never expect a debt, or even a bill to supercede your rent responsibilty.because your gas can get cut off, your electric, your internet..and you will still have a roof over your head. don't allow anything to come before your rent, at least you shouldn't do that.renting is a buisiness, and managers/landlords got property mortgage and bills to pay themselves. your bank should have forgiven all the loses when they were notified,all you had to do was tell them which debits you didn't authorize.  take what you will from my advice and good luck to you.
