Retaliation and the Legal Counterstrike
On June 17, 2025, the situation reached a breaking point. Within hours of filing a Fair Housing complaint, Sary Realty, the property owner, issued a Notice to Vacate/Terminate. The timing, according to filings, strongly suggests retaliatory eviction, prohibited under federal and state law .
Meanwhile, neighbors allegedly weaponized the HOA’s enforcement system. Records show that a resident, Joni Garrett, repeatedly called for towing of the veteran’s vehicle — at times within hours of a previous tow — leading to unjust enrichment of tow companies . The plaintiff claims this web of actors, including HOA board members, management, attorneys, and tow contractors, amounts to a civil conspiracy with racial and disability-based animus at its core.
In response, the Law Firm of Carolinas offered vague guidance, effectively denying accommodation requests without providing procedures or forms. This, plaintiffs argue, constitutes constructive denial of rights guaranteed under the Fair Housing Act.
