Report: Dead Manager 'Signed' Newark Eviction Notices

Some tenants at Pavillion Apartments have recently received eviction notices that may have been signed and dated by a property manager who died months ago, News 12 reported.

The tenant association president said he received a notice when he balked at new lease agreements requiring tenants to pay extermination costs and buy liability insurance in order to remain at the rent-controlled homes.

An attorney for the company that manages the apartments told News 12 the deceased manager signed blank forms in advance and that the evictions were proper. But a housing law attorney contacted by News 12 disagreed, describing the incident as “outrageous.”
