Tammy Doe vs Colony American Homes
Channel: OOH Atlanta
Date: 2014-05-21

Tammy Doe is an Atlanta homeowner who was illegally foreclosed upon by Chase Bank. Since then Colony American Homes has purchased her home out from under her, and is demanding that she pay above market rent, or be evicted. Colony American Homes, like other institutional investors, has bought thousands of foreclosed homes in the Atlanta area, often still occupied by families struggling to stay afloat. Tammy went to the Colony American Homes office in Atlanta, to deliver petition signatures from nearly 3,000 supporters. She was met with a less than pleasant greeting from Colony American Homes employees, who ended the meeting threatening to buy more homes in Tammy's neighborhood.
