Another 'thank you for your service'...but

Veteran's apartment emptied during his recuperation

A 95-year-old World War II veteran was kicked out of his Boston apartment while recovering from pneumonia.

Ilya Levin has been recovering at a rehab facility. WCVB-TV reported that his family was checking his place Monday when they noticed all his belongings were thrown away.

The only memento Levin has left is his war uniform.

The management company said the items were thrown out by mistake. The family said Levin had paid two months of rent in advance.

That’s terrible...

ETA: He was paid up in ADVANCE. Someone at Corcoran will be writing a check to make this go away, quickly.

It was the Patricia White Apartments managed by:
Real Estate Management Company | Corcoran Management Company - Creating Communities

That is NOT how legal evictions are done in MA, even if he hadn't paid the rent. The legal process takes a minimum of 3 months and usually 6-9 months with various legal notices being left.

There are folks here on NES who have advocated actions such as this landlord took however. That landlord is going to learn a very expensive lesson in court if the family of this war hero does the right thing for him.

This is infuriating. Thrown out my ass.

Hopefully the lawsuit is successful enough to make that landlord never do anything like that again.

See my post above. It was a very large management company.

eerrrppp.... Bet this guys apartment never looked like the one when you open there web page. Probably some low life that worked for the place and knew what he old guy had....

On the bright side, he looks damn good for 95!

That's just incomprehensible! They even took the chandelier (less one glass bauble) ? Took his bolted safe? Wow..............just wow.

Hopefully the lawsuit is successful enough to make that landlord never do anything like that again.

Unfortunately no lawsuit will bring back his safe, pictures and memories. I am furious.

Stuff can be replaced, the check should make his golden years very comfortable.

Still trying to figure out how the company thought they could do this.
