Hi, Linda,
I agree that the apartment manager should have been consulted. Then she
could have used her disgression as to what to do. Usually when a person on
section 8 housing moves, they're supposed to follow the rules. They have to
let housing know and to give a 30-day notice. What I don't understand is how
there could be stuff struned all over the floor instead of in boxes. People
who are moving don't usually strune stuff all over the place. My neighbors
Brian and Tina said it looked more like a robbery than it did someone who's
moving out. Awhile back, Pat did say she was tired of being alone and that
she doesn't have family out here. I think our maintenance man Ray said he
would tell Elena the apartment manager what's going on.

Hi Rosie,
It does take some time to disconnect a phone number, but I think if I were
in your shoes, I'd at least let the apartment manager know what you've
observed so that the manager can use his or her discression as to whether or
how far to get involved. The manager certainly should have been consulted.

Hi, everyone,
Saturday I called my next-door neighbor to wish her happy birthday. Her
niece answered the phone so I thought she had come from Chicago to visit
Pat. No such thing. Pat was in Chicago and her niece is staying in her
apartment. Now it gets even weirder. Some people came yesterday and put
Pat's things all over the floor. It looked more like a robbery instead of
someone moving out. Pat's niece called her for me so I could talk to her. I
asked Pat if she was in Chicago to visit relatives or if she was moving to
Illinois permanently. She said the move was permanent. She didn't bother to
let anybody here know--not even the manager or section 8 housing. What I'm
wondering is this. Why would Pat's phone still be connected? Why would her
things be scattered all over the floor of her apartment? We're all wondering
what the right thing would be to do. She had originally planned to move out
in November of last year but she changed her mind---that is until now. I
know she wants to be close to her family and that's
understandable--especially since she's elderly. It's just the idea that she
didn't let anybody know she was leaving.
Rosie
