How many people can one company evict. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer that everyone should pay rent. I am The Apartment Lady Lashondra Graves, founder of Apartment and Housing Rentals Foundation. I founded this company 4 years ago and started a Second Chance Renting Program. Over the past four years, I started to notice a bad pattern. There is one company who don't seem to be in the rental business, but it's just the opposite. Their practices makes them look like they are in the Eviction business.
Pangea manages a lot of property in areas that are considered low income. These areas have the high risk renters, people that are living check to check. This company has a history of evicting their tenants and then requiring them to pay outrageous fees that requires them to go to court twice a month, once to pay the rent and the second time to pay the fees for up 18 months (that's the longest someone stayed on this rigorous payment plan). In 2018 alone they have already evicted over 700 people. How may of these people who were scared to lose their place were put on this payment plan. I have personally seen some of these payment plan documents and I literally can't see what the money is for. I see the back payments, the court costs and the attorney costs.
You might be thinking, well if they don't pay their rent they have to go. I agree, no one should live someone where without paying rent, but this company's practices have been as such, the renter is late after the fifth day. By Day 6, their rent is not accepted, by the time the court date comes up they owe back payments, late fees, court fees, attorney fees and is then given the option to get into a rigorous payment plan. Some renters backed out of the plan after being threatened of losing their jobs, some back out because it is to cumbersome to have to go to court to pay your rent and then come back 2 weeks later to pay fines you don't understand for over 6 months.
Once the case is entered into court, it is almost impossible for these renters to get another place to live, that's when they come to The Apartment Lady Second Chance Rental Program. I have been at the Daley Center and seen Pangea call over 20 people in one day. It looked they were herding them to evictions. The people are always so scared.
Enough is enough. If you want to see change, you have to move forward. WE NEED YOUR SIGNATURE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP FROM OFFICIALS AND WAS UNABLE TO GET HELP. I HAD A NEWS CHANNEL DO A STORY ON ONE OF MY CLIENTS WHO WAS EVICTED RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS FOR A $600 PAYMENT THAT SHE CLEARLY HAD, SHE IS A MAIL CARRIER.
WE WANT THESE CASES SEALED. PANGEA YOU HAVE MADE TO MANY PEOPLE HOMELESS. YES EVERY LANDLORD SHOULD GET THEIR MONEY, BUT PANGEA'S METHODS ARE QUESTIONABLE AND WE WANT ANSWERS NOW!
IF YOU HAVE BEEN EVICTED BY PANGEA SIGN THIS PETITION. LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER.

I am reviewing the feedback you provided and the stories about these illegal fee structures are infuriating. Send this link to three people who have rented from this company. Email your local housing representative today and demand they investigate these court practices.

The momentum behind this fight against Pangea is undeniable. Now we need to turn this energy into real pressure. Call your local representative today and tell them that these predatory eviction practices must end.

I was victim of identity theft and I know the person who did it unfortunately, Pangea wasn’t any help of getting my name removed or fixed or to tell any information about the lease or the person. They didn’t want to help get this out of my name at all.
Pangea is straight trash. They keep adding fees on top of fees so you can never actually catch up no matter how hard you work. It feels like they want us to fail.
I was four months pregnant with my daughter when I was evicted from my apartment. I had tried to make an agreement with the property manager and was two days late getting the rest of my rent payment when I received my eviction filing notice. And then entered a pay to stay agreement at my first court date. By my second court date I was struggling to come up with the $323 for the court fees and was shown zero empathy by the lawyer and the judge. The most difficult part was finding a place to get money orders to submit payment. I didn’t have a car either so I walked around most of downtown to find a place that I could buy a money order with a Chime card and get back to the courthouse before they closed. I eventually had to move out of state with my mother. I currently live with her and now we’re trying to find a bigger apartment because my daughter needs her own room. But because of the eviction on my rental history our applications are getting denied even though me and my mother separately make enough money to cover the rent.
I have had my experience with a monopoly property business.
Horrible company they are slum lords
I was wrongfully evicted by Pangea and I should not have been.
They are not right at all.

We have to start some where. To many landlords doing this and getting away with it, what do you have to lose, you losing anyway.
