PREDATORY SCAM ARTIST!!
1. In April of 2014, I solicited the services of Manage Chicago, for the purpose of renting a property located at 2610 East 76th, Chicago, Illinois 60649. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2610-E-76th-St-Chicago-IL-60649/4025892_zpid/
2. Agent Lath Freymiller of Manage Chicago, answered my inquiry, but screened the call by asking, “how big is your voucher”, when I replied I have a 3 bedroom voucher, he stated he would not show me the unit, unless I had a 4 or 5 bedroom voucher, and explicitly told me, that Manage Chicago would not rent to a 3 bedroom voucher holder, although the unit listed for $1200 which is below my voucher amount.
3. I filed a complaint with owner Len McBrien, who directed me to another agent “Sandry” to attempt to see the unit and to complete the signing of the lease.
4. In April Sandry took me to see the unit, after confirming with the Chicago Housing Authority that he (Ken McBrien, owner) would rent me the unit, they took the unit off the market and refused to rent me said unit, stating they could not bring the unit to code to pass inspection.
5. Ken McBrien, stated they would not make the repairs (they have an in house management and repair service) and that the unit would not be available for rent.
6. After refusing my lease, I was offered another property under duress (my daughter had just had a baby on June 2, 2014, the ceiling of my former unit had collapsed with a new baby in house, and I needed a placement immediately.
