Apartment Manager Arrested for Money Order Disorder

By , About.com Guide   November 13, 2009

Follow me on:

If you're a tenant who pays the rent in full and on time, the last thing you want to hear is that your hard-earned money isn't quite making it into your landlord's bank account.

That's what happened to tenants at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana apartment complex, where an apartment manager now stands accused of stealing over $12,000. According to a report from The Advocate, the manager allegedly took tenants' rent by making their money orders out to herself. She also allegedly fabricated receipts for uncompleted work.

The manager, who claims she needed the extra money to cope with hard times, faces 22 counts of forgery and two counts of theft.
