( Note XXXX sends out notices on the XXXX XXXX & XXXX for tenants who are late ) ( XXXX XXXX XXXX does not notify the tenant when the payment is made only that he would be awarded. ) ( Insight XXXX XXXX assumed the XXXX notice was a misprint as he did not receive a notice for the month of XXXX nor did he receive any further notices after XX/XX/XXXX ) Evidence XXXX. XXXX XXXX received a notice in XXXX that XXXX would not extend his lease in XXXX. 
Evidence XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( Property Manager ) stating that XXXX rent was not paid and that she would start the eviction process.

XXXX XXXX has now been displaced from his home for 10 months waiting for his day in court to clear his record so that he may be able to rent again without an eviction on his record. He is seeking a counter claim for each month in the amount of XXXX and asking to have his legal fees covered for having to seek legal counsel in light of the eviction that he has had to suffer through. The XXXX XXXX XXXX is given to tenants to avoid displacement and it would have effectively helped XXXX XXXX had the representatives at XXXX not taken XXXX XXXX funding for their own use.
