An 81-year-old San Francisco resident has been told she needs to vacate the home she's owned for more than three decades over a $9,000 property tax bill.
"Repeatedly I was told 'No, no, no, nobody’s gonna throw you out over an eight thousand dollar note,'" Benter said.
"And I said, 'What do you mean?'" Benter recalled, "He said, 'Unless you have thirteen thousand dollars to pay off this debt you had, it's going to be sold in 29 minutes.'” Darren Orr, an attorney with the nonprofit Legal Assistance to the Elderly in San Francisco, is now representing Benter.
The notice states that"Eugene Gardner has purchased the property at a trustee's sale and title to the property has been duly perfected." The notice is signed by attorney Joanna Kozubal.Benter said seeing the notice sent her into a panic,"I thought 'This is it, Monday morning they’re gonna show up with a sheriff and a truck and get me out of here.'”
“Legally, we would anticipate that [Gardner] is going to file an eviction and unlawful detainer to try and evict Ms. Benter as quickly as possible, we will of course defend Ms. Benter in that lawsuit and we certainly hope to be successful in that," Orr said.
