Post: Defamation of Character
Posted by FedUp on 8/22/06
I work as an apartment manager for a large property management company. This is a subsidized for elderly and disabled project in a small city. I have a tenant who has been writing very negative letters to my immediate supervisor asking him to fire me because I do not know my job. She sends copies of all her letters to the governer of my state, the agency that administers our subsidy, the Human Rights Commission, etc etc. She has assisted another tenant in filing a housing discrimination complaint against me. Her complaints have been investigated by the subsidy agent and found to be unfounded. Unfortunately, this has not stopped her and she continues to write these defamatory letters. This has prompted more scrutiny from the subsidy agent and has caused me more work in order to address these unfounded allegations. This has not led to my being fired or censured, but has affected my relationships with other tenants in the project and made my job more difficult than it needs to be. This tenant spreads rumors and incites the other tenants to respond to me negatively. I have a folder in her file that is over two inches thick with these letters. Do I have a case?
