-- A Post analysis found managers of Sean Hannity’s rental properties in working-class neighborhoods aggressively enforced rent collection.
Aaron C. Davis and Shawn Boburg report: “[Managers at Hannity’s four largest apartment complexes in Georgia] have sought court-ordered evictions at twice the statewide rate — in a state known for high numbers of evictions and landlord-friendly laws — and frequently have done so less than two weeks after a missed payment. … Among the tenants Hannity’s property managers sought to evict, records show, were a former corrections officer and her wife, who fell behind while awaiting a disability determination; a double amputee who had lived in an apartment with her daughter for five years but did not pay on time after being hospitalized; and a single mother of three whose $980 rent check was rejected because she could not come up with a $1,050 cleaning fee for a bedbug infestation. … Told of The Post’s findings, three experts said the pattern suggests that the threat of eviction is being used not just to remove tenants but also to generate revenue.” Hannity’s attorney said the Fox News host was not involved in the evictions. But last month, when Hannity was defending his real estate holdings, he said: “It is ironic that I am being attacked for investing my personal money in communities that badly need such investment and in which, I am sure, those attacking me have not invested their money.”
