Those are also pictures from today of the CBS 6 article.
I was evicted by Braintree Village in 2014, after less than a year of tenancy. The property management sent its male, police liaison to my apartment after I had asked the property management if there were hidden and illegal cameras in my apartment, which the property management said there weren't. The police liaison brought another male police officer and two male paramedics, although I was neither agitated nor threatening, and they forced me to go to a hospital emergency room for a psychiatric evaluation, from which I was committed to a mental hospital based on what the property management had told the police liaison about me.
While I was in the mental hospital, the property management had the law firm which represents it write an eviction letter, which was delivered to me in the mental hospital. The letter said that I had asked if there were cameras in the apartment and that I was told that there weren't. My having asked if there were cameras in the apartment, and my attempt to get written assurance that maintenance people would never be in my apartment without my knowledge or presence, were cited as reasons to evict me.
I paid my rent on time; I was even paying it months in advance when I was committed and got the eviction letter. My apartment was clean all the time. I started trouble with nobody. There was no reason to evict me.
In court, both lawyers from the law firm that represented the property management told lie after lie. At the first court hearing, the lawyer said that I had made no attempt to try to have the meeting with the property management that the eviction letter said I had the legal right to have, when I had left several voicemails requesting that meeting. At the second court hearing, the lawyer said that I was publishing "disturbing things" online, including talking about killing people, which was a total lie. She successfully petitioned the court to prevent me from being able to go to the property management office at all; I told the judge that my rent was paid so far in advance that I didn't have a reason to go to that office, but what I should have done was fight against the characterization of a dangerous, mentally ill liar that the lawyers for the property management were casting for me in court.
At the final court hearing, another lawyer for the law firm that represents Braintree Village told the judge that I needed to be evicted right away because, and I quote, "the other tenants are afraid of her." Nobody in my building was afraid of me, including the male tenant who frequently stalked past my front door, coughing loudly, and from whose apartment a sobbing child could frequently be heard.
I was evicted from Braintree Village almost exactly two years ago. I have been homeless since then.
The conglomerate knows the answer to this question:
Were there hidden and illegal videocameras in my apartment at Braintree Village?
