The manager of a San Antonio property was ordered by a corporate landlord to evict a tenant in Texas, using a variety of cruel tactics.
A number of strategies are laid out in an email to management of the Siegel Suites, including replacing the woman's air conditioning unit, having security knock on her door at least twice a night, and disabling her TV.
The email was sent by a senior vice president of operations with a Las Vegas-based company called The Siegel Group.
The executive wanted the person to be very uncomfortable in the room.
Siegel is one of four corporate landlords accused of engaging in abusive and deceptive practices against their tenants during the coronaviruses epidemic.
While a moratorium on evictions was in place, four corporate landlords submitted more than 15,000 evictions.
The House investigation found that Siegel used harassment tactics to push tenants out of their homes.
The Siegel Group has been contacted by the news organization.
If management knocked on her door and she wasn't there, they would call animal control to pick up her pet.
Child Protective Services should visit the woman's apartment if the children lived there.
In Texas, it is a crime to file false reports of child abuse or neglect.
The executive said in his email that he had no idea about the person. I want to make sure you tried everything you could to get rid of them.
According to the report, the wording of the executive suggests these harassment tactics may be tried-and-true for Siegel. The San Antonio woman might not have been the first tenant targeted for harassment.
