Pandemic or not Rochester landlord wants the rent

Landlord takes aggressive approach toward tenets

To sign it into law./// it's a message being echoed throughout our communities during this difficult time.

We've shared it ourselves... "we're all in this together."

So, we were more than a little surprised to learn of a rochester real estate company's aggressive messaging during the pandemic.

George mallet joins us on first avenue northeast in rochester with our story.

Xxx katie, i'm here because this is the headquarters of opportunity realty llc in rochester.

They are a property management firm, and they are making it abundantly clear to their tenants that pandemic or not... the rent is due.

Brenda thomas lipkie sent this bold white on black missive on april firs??

Before any of her many tenants were late with the rent.

The note reads in par?

Tenants must still pay their rent on or before the first.

Tenants that usually drop rents off will need to contact me and or pay through portal to prevent 8% late fee.

Tenants that haven't paid or contacted me.

I will be stopping at unit on april 2nd.

An opportunity realty tenant who was too intimidated by the message to go on camera texted me in part... "i'm not behind on my rent and their messages are just awful.

They give me anxiety i don't need at this time.

Brenda thomas lipkie followed up that first message with a second this week that reads in par?

Opportunity realty llc and owners have be notified (the grammatical errors are hers) that people are now receiving their stimulus checks to help pay towards their rent, utilities and food as a reminder monthly rent is due on or before the first of the month.

City councilman michael wojcik has some advice for brenda thomas lipkie.

There is no law against being a difficult person, or obnoxious or just plain rotten.

That's part of how our capitalist society works, but i think you'll find that how you handle these things situations in the interim when people are truly going through great challenges will speak volumes to how needless to say, i placed numerous phone calls to brenda beginning shortly after the april 1st message went out... those calls continued until this afternoon.

I have not heard back.

Live in rochester george mallet?

Kimt news 3./// thank you.

We visited opportunity realty's public facebook page.

One review posted there read?"

I recommend brenda, but she is strict about the payments being on time.

No late payments under any circumstances.

" the tenant who george spoke with says brenda has taken that commitment to getting the rent up a notch during
