In short, the landlord of an apartment complex is threating to throw out tennants if they don't pay for their rent. Mmmmmm.....wasn't there a HURRICANE that just hit Mobile???? People are dying, yet, these morons want their rent money. Unbelivable!!!

(Theodore, Ala.) September 3, 2005 - Less than one week after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, residents at the Spanish Oak Inn apartments in Theodore are being given an ultimatum to pay up or get out, some tenants say. "They don’t care if you’re homeless or have no power," said Marcus Rigsby, who lives at the complex with his young daughter.
Many tenants tell NBC 15 they are out of work due to the Hurricane. "We have no gas to go anywhere and most of our job sites haven’t re-opened yet," said April Jumper. When we tried to speak with management on site in hopes of communicating the severity of the situation, a woman named Faye started yelling at us. "Get out. Get out!"
We were later escorted off the property by a man claiming to be the security guard. Here is his response as NBC 15 reporter Brian Johnson questions him. Brian: "Do you have a heart sir? Security guard: "I’ve got a great heart. I’ve been helping all week. Brian: "So why in the world would you guys kick these people out? Security guard: "I have no earthly idea why.
A representative from Key Properties, LLC, which owns Spanish Oak Inn apartments, says they are working with residents on a case-by-case basis. "We are resolving the situation," said Karl Borutty, a company representative who placed a call to the NBC 15 Newsroom.
If you are unable to pay your rent, please call FEMA immediately at 1-800-621-FEMA.

I was saddened AND shocked to read this, but I'm not worried, there's a special place in hell for people like that, and it may be decidedly more watery than hot for these folks.
