Broward County Housing sent her a form letter reminding her that my lease expires August 31, 2010. This letter included my telephone number to call for the arrangement of the walk-thru and turning over the keys. This letter also gave her the address to send my security deposit or any correspondence.
A realtor who rents homes for section8 landlords showed the house and said that it was move-in ready, that she has not had to do anything to it, as I left it undamaged and clean (cleaner than she turned it over to me).
After waiting 30 days plus mailing and additional time should it still be in transit I had my attorney call her, to which he said she told him that she didn't know what address to send it to and that she now will send it, and it would be the entire amount.
When I received the envelope with her check for $2, 000 and called my attorney about the balance, he said he called her and that she would be sending the rest next week, and that I should cash this one.
As I had given her $4, 200. I took it to her bank Sun Trust and they would not cash it but would not tell me why, but refer to maker. I again had to have my attorney call her to which he said she claimed she did not know that there wasn't enough in the account. She straighten out the problem and I was able to cash the $2, 000.
The next week came and went, still nothing in the mail. He had to call her again, he said that this time she said she wanted to see a copy of the contract that shows I had given her that much. So he told me he had to fax her over a copy of our lease agreement, and then that she said again that she would be sending it next week.
I waited again and the next week came and went again. On Veterans Day I again called my attorney, to which he said that now she claimed to have sent it to him instead of me. He said that his mail doesn't come in until 5PM. To which I asked him not to call her anymore and to file it Friday morning because I do not believe her.
I was not able to get a hold of him so I started calling other attorneys. When I finally reached him he said that he CALLED her and she was bringing it down in person.
This would have been considered civil theft where I would have been entitled to triple damages, and she did not even pay my attorney fees. She has caused me untold expenses, as I am a senior who is disabled and homeless with my stuff in storage. The free rates have expired. I have had movers cost to move everything to another facility for half rates, which are expiring this month. I will again go through the expense of moving everything to avoid full rate, until I find a place to move to as my housing voucher is for$1, 050. It is difficult to find a place that has a walk-in shower w/d and no carpeting in that amount with the season here.
Any one doing business with her or her company should take precautions as she has several properties and is a realtor, the account she made the check from is a separate real estate account, in both her name JOYCE GLASSMAN and GLASSMAN, H BRADFORD. Her realty company is out of Boca Raton, Florida, and she lives in Delray Beach, Florida
