So, you thought you could, take advantage of the renters who are, from the lower end of the socioeconomic status, and yet, your AWFUL ways, caught up with you, didn’t they??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The landlady, Chang in recent years, started having court cases filed against her by the disagreement of the lease of her properties by her tenants, the Hsinbei District Court found her guilty of eighteen counts of libel and slander, and sentenced her to a combined seven years’ worth of jail time; on the other three charges of fraud to attain money, a count of forcible behaviors, a total sentence of a year two months, but she could pay a fine and escape jail time. The case can still be appealed.
The courts believed, that Chang knew that the tenants she’d rented out to were from lower end of the economic statuses, she’d used their need to rent a place, and how they’d, lacked the legal knowledge and the unwillingness of these individuals to take her to court, and used the wordings on the contract, to get the tenants to sign, and then, she’d sued them easily, for the sole purpose of economic gains, it’d, wasted a lot of the country’s assets, and caused the tenants to be under investigations for no reasons at all, and, there were, seventy-eight who were, sued by her on falsely accused charges, and that she deserves a severe degree of punishment by the law.
Chang didn’t show up to court, and as the press called her up, it went to her voicemail; but in the trials, she’d denied all allegations, stressed how she was doing good to help people out.
Based off of the verdict from the courts, the eighteen counts of libel that Chang was found guilty of, most were how she’d demanded the renters to put their next-of-kin’s contact phone number and name, and once there are disagreements, she’d falsified how the people who supposedly vouched for the renters being present, and sued them for fraud, and this was found to be false accusations, and she’d, committed this crime each time for seven, to eight months.
And, Chang was suspected of hiding the listed items that aren’t beneficial to her tenants at time of signing of contract, she’d signed out the A residence, but instead, rented out the B residence, and took advantage of the time when the tenants were away, and rented their homes out to get a total of $35,000N.T. in illegally attained profits, which constituted as fraud; and there were tenants who’d found, that in the contract of the lease, there was an order that the landlord will take the rents if they don’t pick up the calls, and, with no just cause, stopped renting, with a fee of $100,000N.T.s, and other unreasonable requests, and as the tenants refused to sign for these, she’d, blocked the person, to not let the tenants leave, which constituted as forced behaviors. And, Chang was sentenced to a year two months, and she can pay her way out of serving the time for this.
In the trials, Chang claimed, that she had, clarified the terms of the leases, and said that a lot of her tenants aren’t rich, and yet, she was willing, to take their payments in installments, that she was, doing the good deeds, but the Collectivist Court found that the first and third pages of the lease contract was yellow, but the second page with the unfair leasing rules was white, and newer, they’d, believed that she was, planning, to trick her tenants.
And so, this landlady used the fact, that the renters are all, from the lower end of the socioeconomic status, and that they are less than likely, to fight her back, to take advantage of them all, and, she was, very cunning, in writing out her contracts the way she had, and she’d only wanted to, extort money from the needy, as those who’d, rented from her, are having a hard enough time economically already…
