Hip Hop Mogul Throwing His Weight Around * Residents Call Their State Senator!

By
Property Manager with Gibson Management Group, Ltd.

Kudos to the tenants of Philly's 603 North American Street for resisting their management's attempts to oust them from their homes.

First we have Faye Dunaway "behaving badly" and now we have Shawn Carter (MEGA Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z) instructing his lawyers to file lawsuits against the residents of a condo building he bought in 2009. 

Residents who have paid rent are being threatened with eviction, harrassed and targeted with frivilious lawsuits in an attempt to get them to vacate their apartments so the condo units can be sold.

When they could not get answers from the lawyers filing the suits, residents when to their state senator who contacted Carter directly requesting answers as to his actions. 

Again, from the BAD PRESS IS BETTER THAN NO PRESS AT ALL Celebrity Playbook, it would seem that PAYING the residents to LEAVE so they could RElocate elsewhere might be a BETTER "image-wise" than having TV cameras in the lobby of your building, your name all over the 5 o'clock news AND the STIGMA associated with the address of your building. 

Hello!  Jayster, Zillow says the residents you are forcing out are paying $200 more per month than their RENTAL  Zestimate.
