Section 8 Tenants Face Eviction Over Rent Dispute | Tulsa News
Description
Tenants at Woodland Manor are facing eviction notices for thousands in back rent—but the Tulsa Housing Authority says they’re not responsible. The mess began when safety inspections revealed broken sprinklers and outdated fire extinguishers, prompting the Housing Authority to stop paying its share of rent (HAP payments). Normally, tenants aren’t liable for abated rent, yet some are being billed for amounts far exceeding their actual obligation—like $1,500 when their share is just $263. A former property manager is now helping tenants fight back, accusing management of mischarging them for withheld payments. The Housing Authority is still trying to sort out who owns the complex to resume HAP payments, while residents live with mounting anxiety amid ongoing issues like months of trash buildup. Management hasn’t commented directly, only asking reporters to email them.
