10March2025: I just typed this update. At this point, I am going to remove the Affidavit and place it in a separate blogpost due to the need to actually reconstruct it. It was greatly altered by cyber crime. The first ten pages show that my statements were moved all around. So they do not coincide with the transcript. I don't know if that is the same situation with the rest of it. I need to focus on the illegal landlord since the Appellate Court fails to act on my Motion For Review. I am therefore typing an affidavit to cover today's payment, emphasizing the court order is unlawful and obviously tactical since the court failed to cover the months of January and February - and the fact the plaintiff is using DEBT COLLECTING ATTORNEYS cannot be more obvious as to why. My rent has always been paid timely and accurately. Their frauding the ledger ruins my credit and more.
============================================================
Just keep it in mind it is defective and I am filing a MOTION FOR RECTIFICATION because I do not agree with it! The hearing and trial covered 2+ hours! Each page represents a minute; this is 69 pages - to humor their psychopathic selves! The RECORDING WAS ALTERED; the court transcriber just does her job and types what she hears.
This is a MODUS OPERANDI OF THE COURT. They must use the same type of equipment that is used by Hollywood and other movie makers. Keep that in mind. I will provide my motion, pasted, if this works so you can see the transcript I reference:
NHH-CV24-6024196-S : SUPERIOR COURT ANSONIA STATE STREET, LLC : JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF NEW HAVEN v. : AT NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT ANNE BRADLEY : JANUARY 13, 2025 TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE HONORABLE ALAYNA STONE, JUDGE A P P E A R A N C E S : Representing the Plaintiff: ATTORNEY JOSEPH ST. ROCK HOOPS & ASSOCIATES, LLC 19A Thames Street Groton, Connecticut, 06340 Representing the Defendant: ANNE BRADLEY SELF-REPRESNTED PARTY Recorded and Transcribed By: Sheila Demetro Court Recording Monitor 235 Church Street New Haven, Connecticut 06511 1 1 THE COURT: Good afternoon. 2 THE CLERK: This is the matter of Ansonia 3 State Street, LLC versus Anne Bradley. 4 THE MARSHAL: The parties may approach. 5 THE COURT: Good afternoon. 6 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Good afternoon. 7 MS. BRADLEY: Good afternoon. 8 THE COURT: Could I please get your names for 9 the record. 10 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Yes. I’m Joseph St. Rock, 11 attorney for the plaintiff. 12 To my left is Kyle Huckell the community 13 manager. 14 THE COURT: And your name, ma’am. 15 MS. BRADLEY: Anne Bradley. I’m the 16 defendant. 17 And I hope that you get who is accompanying 18 the attorney also for the record. 19 THE COURT: I did. Thank you. 20 Okay. You can all be seated. 21 Okay. So we are here on a couple of motions 22 as well as for trial today. It looks like Miss 23 Bradley filed a Motion to Pay Fair Use and Value 24 into the Court on December 26th as well as a 25 Motion to Change Venue. 26 So let’s take those motions up first. 27 So, Ms. Bradley, with respect to your Motion 2 1 to Pay Use and Occupancy into the Court, is there 2 anything – I’ve read your motion itself. Is there 3 anything that you would like to add? 4 MS. BRADLEY: I would just like to emphasize 5 that I have the checks already cut and they’re 6 paid for, they’re bank checks for these months, 7 for January, and for December; so and October and 8 November were already paid into the Court to the 9 receiver of rents. So – and there is a check that 10 I had relayed to the Court, which was also sent to 11 the manager who is a accompanying this attorney. 12 So he may or may not have cashed it. I don’t 13 know yet. I have not been able to get – bring a 14 copy with me to the bank. I only went to the bank 15 once and computer was down at the copy center, so 16 I wasn’t able to copy the check off from the case 17 information because it is – it is submitted to the 18 case. 19 So that’s all to share my diligence on this 20 matter. I did pay fair use and value into Court 21 on a case against me by Corey Spruill, and that 22 was from Day One. So it was throughout the whole 23 case that I paid rent into court. I found that 24 that was really the best way to protect my rights 25 because Corey was deviating from his own 26 responsibilities as well as evading from the law. 27 He would have denied my getting rent, giving him 3 1 rent, fair use and value. The case involved a 2 lease which indicated that it automatically 3 renewed. And a sixty-day notice was required if 4 the landlord wanted to end it for lapse of time. 5 So after a year it remained in place, but if you 6 wanted to end it, he would have to give the sixty7 day notice. He did not. So right then and there 8 the case had no merit. And I produced the lease, 9 so he should have, you know, proved his – his 10 case. So I really don’t think that was 11 adjudicated properly, yet I did cite a portion of 12 the opinion, which was quite voluminous, because 13 the subject matter jurisdiction is only supposed 14 to be restricted to what the notice to quit has on 15 it, and for him it was lapse of time. And he 16 never proved his case and I disproved it. 17 Nevertheless, the judged did admit that there was 18 a cure period that was required, and I did not 19 even have HUD then. So there was an – there was 20 – oh, excuse me. I’m talking about the 2019 case 21 now. So I apologize. I’m jumping on that 22 dynamic. 23 The judge – the judge’s opinion was quite 24 voluminous in the 2019 opinion which was uploaded 25 to this case because it was stated by the 26 plaintiff that he wanted a copy of it. So if he 27 wants a copy of it, it needs to be put in – on 4 1 record. That – that was the purpose of my 2 requesting it to be uploaded, but I did not agree 3 with how that case was adjudicated because it – it 4 was – it was not – the judge did not actually 5 restrict it to what the notice to quit had on it 6 and – and that was – that was – that was a 7 significant issue and also there were – it was a 8 situation where there was retaliation because I 9 had made complaints, and they were at first 10 inquires and requests for cooperation, and it 11 turned into complaints. And – and I got nowhere. 12 So I ended up – I even hired an attorney using 13 money that I received from a Department of Labor 14 case that was over twenty years old. And I 15 retained him to help me get a hearing with the 16 housing administrator, and he did not do that. 17 Instead he worked against me and he tried to get 18 me evicted. So I removed him, and I said he was 19 not going to be part of the case. 20 So that’s really what I especially want to 21 emphasize in regards to that. 22 The fact that this notice to quit has a 23 return date on it for November 12th and yet on the 24 case information it says November 4th, is a big 25 deal because that makes the notice to quit 26 invalid. They’re supposed to give a three-day 27 notice according to the law for, what is it, 5 1 427(a), something like that, it’s cited right on a 2 notice to quit form, yet they did not even cite a 3 law on their notice to quit. And excuse me, I 4 said the return date on the notice to quit, the 5 return date was on the summary process. And that 6 was indicated as November 12th, yet they didn’t 7 even upload the case right away, but I made my 8 appearance to sustain my rights, and I was 9 criticized by that with Attorney Pitt. He said, 10 oh, you’ve got all the time in the world. You 11 have until November 12th when he knew that the 12 return date on the case information was November 13 4th. So I had to bring it up and it still has not 14 been resolved. 15 Attorney Pitt said that that was uploaded as 16 November 4th by the plaintiff, not him, so they 17 have to fix it, yet they put so much spin on it. 18 And in the case information, there is a – there’s 19 a form that says request to conform. I mean, 20 they’re the ones that caused the problem and now 21 they’re telling the Court to change the law and 22 make the notice to quit return date their date 23 which is defective on their notice to quit or I 24 mean they’re summary – summons and – summons 25 process. So that’s, you know, that’s a very 26 significant thing also because the summons process 27 has the wrong return date, and I don’t think that 6 1 was any error. If it was, they would have 2 corrected it. And the law specifically states 3 that they – they are supposed to give a three-day 4 notice. That’s – that’s the – that’s prescribed 5 by the law. So – 6 THE COURT: Are you talking about the notice 7 to quit? They have to give three days to quit or 8 – 9 MS. BRADLEY: Excuse me? 10 THE COURT: When you said they have to give 11 you three-days’ notice, are you talking about the 12 notice to quit? 13 MS. BRADLEY: The – the return date of the 14 summons was supposed to be three days’ notice 15 according to law that’s cited right on the form. 16 THE COURT: Okay. 17 MS. BRADLEY: So for clarification purposes, 18 I also want to emphasize the big elephant in the 19 room which I stated in my answer and special 20 defenses was, the rent was paid, and I provided 21 the Court the checks. The checks were validated 22 as cashed by the manager of Bank of America. 23 THE COURT: So we will – we will get to that, 24 but I do want to sort of just focus for right now 25 on, do you have anything else to add about your 26 motion for – to pay into the court? 27 MS. BRADLEY: The whole purpose of this is 7 1 it’s – I want to sustain my rights and make sure 2 that the money is being monitored; and if the 3 Court denies me that, then I will create a new 4 bank account and put the money in it myself to 5 validate that I’m paying rent. And I want to know 6 what the plaintiff did with the check that I gave 7 them for December because I don’t know if it’s 8 been cashed or not. 9 THE COURT: Okay. All right. 10 Attorney St. Rock. 11 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Just regarding the motion to 12 pay rent into court. I believe that is going to 13 be moot. It seems we’re heading to a trial today 14 and it - at trial we would either get a decision 15 in the defendant’s favor and the case goes away, 16 it’s dismissed or in the plaintiff’s favor and we 17 have an order for a stay of execution with or 18 without use and occupancy. So it seems that the 19 rent is going to be addressed one way or the 20 other. And I just think this motion ends up being 21 moot if we go forward today. 22 THE COURT: Okay. 23 MS. BRADLEY: I would like to say that it – 24 how can it be moot when I have been paying rent 25 into court? So that – that is – would be my big 26 issue, and the Court has been accepting it. So - 27 and I do – I will be motioning to open that other 8 1 case. So I wanted to appeal, although I can’t. 2 And the Court will not allow me to submit hard 3 copies or faxes to them. So I – I just can’t do 4 it. I can’t – I can’t bring all this – all these 5 papers to a counter and just stand there and then 6 end up in pain all night from muscle spasms and 7 tendonitis because I go – I’ve been going through 8 that already these past three months. So that’s 9 been a big issue. 10 I did not know when I submitted a request for 11 exemption that I had to tell them that I was 12 disabled even or – or explain anything about being 13 disabled because they already know that. So I did 14 not know that they expected me to say, you know, 15 indicate what a physical impairment it is for me. 16 And I – so that’s the reason why I amended it. 17 And they, you know, I don’t think at all that it 18 is fair for them to do that especially when I had 19 so many problems using their electronic services 20 for another case in the past. It was very 21 difficult and at times the system was not even 22 working so I had to go back and do it, upload. 23 So – so that’s what I want to emphasize. 24 THE COURT: Okay. So I’ve read the motion – 25 Motion to Pay into the Court. I also reviewed 26 Judge Spader’s previous order on the previous 27 motion that had been filed. And based on my 9 1 review of the case law, I have to agree with Judge 2 Spader that entering an order for payment into 3 Court right now is moot because we are here for 4 trial today. So the whole purpose of payments 5 into court is while an action is pending before 6 you get to trial, you can make payments into court 7 so that you’re not sort of further behind, but 8 because we’re here for trial today, we don’t need 9 to make an order for payment in court. There’s 10 going to be a trial and then after that there’s 11 going to be a decision. So I’m going to deny the 12 motion to pay into court that was filed on 13 December 26th. 14 MS. BRADLEY: I did request it right af – 15 before the next month’s rent was due. I requested 16 it. I paid for October. I paid for November. And 17 then before December 10th I requested to pay rent 18 into court on this case. 19 THE COURT: Well, and that was in the other 20 case. 21 MS. BRADLEY: So it was not moot at that 22 point. 23 THE COURT: That was in the house code, but 24 the housing code case has now been dismissed and 25 so there’s not an opportunity for you to pay into 26 court on that one. And in this case, because 27 we’re here today for trial, there’s nothing for 10 1 you to pay into court today for trial. So – 2 MS. BRADLEY: I did – I did indicate for this 3 case also when I - a motion for this case since 4 they rejected my payment for the housing case, 5 which I had every intention of appealing and even 6 if I can’t appeal, I have the right to motion to 7 open. So – 8 THE COURT: And those rights still exist. 9 MS. BRADLEY: - I just wanted to emphasize 10 that. 11 THE COURT: Okay. All right. So let’s move on 12 to the Defendant’s Motion to Change Venue. I’ve 13 also reviewed that motion. Is there anything that 14 you would like to add that’s not in your 15 paperwork? 16 MS. BRADLEY: For this motion to change 17 venue, change venue? 18 THE COURT: Correct. 19 MS. BRADLEY: Well, that was quite a project 20 that I had to put together. It’s over a hundred 21 pages. So all I can ask for is for the Court’s 22 time and attention on it because I don’t – I don’t 23 think I’m getting my rights here. I – I mean, the 24 case had no merit to begin with. The Court 25 already knew that my rent was paid. I showed them 26 – I submitted the copies of the checks, and I – I 27 was quite open about the dynamics when I submitted 11 1 the housing complaint. They could have just not 2 docketed it, and so instead they took my rent; and 3 when the rent is taken, it’s taken on – with the 4 Court’s determination that the rent is current. 5 So there’s just not – I don’t see any – any logic 6 in what’s going on. I just – I find it quite 7 strange actually. 8 And there was like a - a young man that was 9 about thirty years old in the housing case that 10 said he was Peter Hoops. And he also wanted me 11 to meet him with a housing specialist. 12 And the housing specialist said that you had 13 marked off my hearing that day. And I said, 14 excuse me. And I said I wanted to go down the 15 housing court to validate that and she wouldn’t 16 let me. And I said, if I had to go to the bath – 17 if I told you I had to go to the bathroom, I could 18 have done that, but I didn’t, you know, I wanted 19 to be above-board. I wasn’t – so – so I just 20 found that, the whole dynamic started off with 21 lies and it just got worse. And I would just 22 emphasized, the case had no merit. I paid the 23 rent. The notice to quit said non-payment of rent 24 for August and September. I paid my rent just like 25 I did for years before that. The same amount. So 26 there is – there is just no wavering on – on the 27 issues of this case. So that’s the reason why I 12 1 felt like that was the only way to change – to get 2 my rights, because I do not think the notice to 3 quit was valid. They didn’t sign the law. They 4 didn’t even attach the – well, on the – on the 5 summons, they didn’t even attach the notice to 6 quit to the summons. So, you know, their motion 7 to dismiss was haphazard and non-complaint with 8 the formats of – of, you know, legal processes. So 9 how can you respond to it if you don’t even know 10 what number of the paragraph is or what page it 11 is? And they lack any application of law. So 12 that’s, you know, those are my, you know, those 13 are my emphasis of why I felt that a change of 14 venue seemed to be the only way that I could get 15 my rights. 16 THE COURT: Attorney St. Rock. 17 ATTY. ST. ROCK: So it seems to me that Miss 18 Bradley just doesn’t understand at what point in 19 proceedings an issue like the defendant paying 20 rent comes up, and that is, that’s adjudicated at 21 trial. 22 I – I paid my rent is not a defense to the 23 notice to quit itself as far as the Court finding 24 on a motion that the notice to quit is invalid, 25 it’s – there’s certain ways that a notice to quit 26 can be deemed invalid, but in this case it – that 27 issue would come up today at trial. 13 1 The reasoning in her motion seems to be 2 identical to the motion for recusal that she made 3 which was previously denied. Two judges have made 4 rulings in this case that went against or not in 5 her favor and she’s asked both of them to be 6 recused, including your Honor. It seems like a 7 pattern at this point. And if venue does change, 8 I feel it likely that it will continue, this 9 pattern of – of filing motions and asking for 10 judges to recuse when motions are not ruled in her 11 favor. 12 At its core, this is a non-payment case. It 13 seems to be relatively straightforward. There are 14 a couple wrinkles, but we’ve been talking about 15 half of this time today about whether she paid the 16 rent or not and that’s something that the Housing 17 Court can absolutely deal with and is best suited 18 to deal with. And, in fact, Miss Bradley has 19 expressed a desire to get to the merits of the 20 case. We’re prepared to do that today at trial. 21 And it seems that neither side is going to 22 win this case on the pleadings. It has to get to 23 the merits. And it just seems the best for – 24 certainly for the plaintiff and for the Court’s 25 time and everyone else’s time just to resolve the 26 case today when it was scheduled for trial. So 27 that’s - we’re asking the Court to do that today, 14 1 your Honor. 2 MS. BRADLEY: I would like to ask the 3 plaintiff what he means by pattern of behavior 4 because these clichés are often used and they have 5 no substance. So I want to know what he means by 6 pattern of behavior. I’m consistent with my 7 rights, so I want to know what he means by that. 8 THE COURT: So I’m – we’re not really here to 9 ask each other questions at this point, but if 10 there’s any other points that you would like to 11 make in response to what he has said, I’m happy to 12 hear that. 13 MS. BRADLEY: Well, I just did. I, you know, 14 I want to know what he means by pattern of 15 behavior. 16 THE COURT: Well, I’m not going to allow you 17 to ask the attorney questions at this point. 18 Is there anything else that you would like to 19 say? 20 MS. BRADLEY: I’m kind of stumped because if 21 I say anything about what he said, you’ll say that 22 it’s not relevant, so I’m at a roadblock right 23 now. 24 THE COURT: I mean, you can – you can 25 certainly respond to what he said. If you believe 26 that what he said is wrong, then you can tell me 27 why you think it’s wrong. 15 1 MS. BRADLEY: I first want some clarification 2 as to what he means by pattern of behavior. 3 THE COURT: I think you can respond to what he 4 said without that clarification. 5 MS. BRADLEY: How can I respond to it if I 6 don’t have any clarification? I mean, that’s what 7 a hearing is supposed to be for is – is to, you 8 know, have – have the information in an 9 understandable way. So I think I was right in 10 just asking for clarification, what he meant by 11 that. 12 THE COURT: Well, I’m not going to allow you 13 ask him questions. 14 So if there’s – if you have nothing else, 15 then I’m ready to rule on your motion. 16 MS. BRADLEY: I can only say that I have 17 been consistent with my rights, and I have to 18 document everything. I’m – it’s been very 19 difficult as a non-attorney, but I don’t want to 20 be sabotaged by an attorney. 21 So, I mean, the notice to quit was invalid. 22 It didn’t have – and the summary process was not 23 legitimate because the return date was not three 24 days. I mean, I paid my rent. So I mean I just – 25 I just don’t see where this case has had any merit 26 at all. 27 THE COURT: Okay. All right. So like as I 16 1 mentioned, I did review the defendant’s motion to 2 change venue. I also reviewed the previous 3 motions that were filed and that were ruled on 4 last week. And I – I agree that the – many of the 5 complaints that are outlined in this motion are 6 similar to the motion to recuse that was filed by 7 the defendant. 8 I also read in here that you want to get to 9 the merits of this. You want to be able to 10 demonstrate that you have been paying your rent 11 and that – 12 MS. BRADLEY: May I – your Honor, may I ask 13 what the – 14 THE COURT: Let me finish. 15 MS. BRADLEY: - the motion to rescue is. 16 THE COURT: Let me finish. 17 To have us disqualified. To have the judges 18 disqualified. You filed motions to have Judge 19 Spader and myself disqualified. 20 MS. BRADLEY: Oh, okay. 21 THE COURT: And as I have said in previous 22 hearings, the time to bring all of those things 23 up, the fact that, you know, all of your 24 complaints about the notice to quit, about you 25 paying your rent, the time to raise that is at 26 trial, and so we are here for trial today; and so 27 now you will have your opportunity to raise those 17 1 issues, to bring forth evidence that you have been 2 paying your rent on time and that this – this 3 action should be dismissed, that there should be 4 judgment in your favor. And so because we are 5 here today on the motion to change venue, we’re 6 here for trial, excuse me. And I have not pre7 judged this case. I’ve only ruled – made rulings 8 on sort of procedural issues thus far. I don’t 9 have the evidence before me so I can’t say one way 10 or the other who is right. That is what the trial 11 is for. 12 So I am going to deny your motion to change 13 venue and we will proceed with trial. 14 MS. BRADLEY: May I ask why you don’t have 15 the evidence because I’ve submitted copies of 16 those checks several times into the court. 17 THE COURT: So in order – the way the trial 18 works is that you will be put under oath, you will 19 submit all the evidence, and at that point that’s 20 when I can take a look at that and then make 21 determinations. I understand that you’ve sort of 22 submitted things attached to your motions, but the 23 motions that I have been considering are 24 procedural ones, not on the merits. And so today 25 is your opportunity to present those – those 26 pieces of evidence for me to consider for trial. 27 MS. BRADLEY: So you expect me to make copies 18 1 of what’s already been submitted into the court? 2 THE COURT: Yes. You should have all of your 3 evidence ready for trial today. 4 MS. BRADLEY: I – I’m just perplexed. I mean, 5 the – 6 THE COURT: If you want, I can take judicial - 7 MS. BRADLEY: I already submitted it. 8 THE COURT: If you want, I can take judicial 9 notice of the documents that you’ve already 10 submitted so that you don’t have to submit them. 11 As along as Attorney St. Rock doesn’t have any 12 objection to it, I can take notice of that so that 13 you don’t have to resubmit it, but that’s 14 generally how it works. 15 MS. BRADLEY: Well, after this hearing, I 16 would ask for a recess so that I can make copies. 17 THE COURT: Okay. How long do you think that 18 you’ll need? 19 MS. BRADLEY: Just probably fifteen minutes. 20 I just – I mean, really the whole point is, is 21 that I paid my rent. 22 THE COURT: Okay. All right. So it’s ten 23 minutes to three. Let’s take a – let’s take a 24 fifteen-minute recess to three oh five. 25 MS. BRADLEY: Okay. 26 THE COURT: Okay. 27 (RECESS TAKEN.) 19 1 THE COURT: Good afternoon. 2 THE MARSHALL: The parties may approach. 3 THE COURT: Okay. All right. So we are back 4 on the record here to proceed for trial. 5 Before we get started, I’m just going to ask 6 the clerk to swear in the witnesses. 7 THE CLERK: Yes, your Honor. 8 Please raise your right hand. 9 Do you solemnly swear or solemnly and 10 sincerely affirm as the case may be that the 11 evidence you shall give concerning this case shall 12 be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the 13 truth so help you God or upon penalty of perjury? 14 MS. BRADLEY: Yes. 15 MR. HUCKLE: I do. 16 THE CLERK: Please State your name and 17 business address for the record. 18 MR. HUCKLE: Kyle Huckell. Business address 19 is 360 State Street, New Haven, Connecticut. 20 THE MONTIOR: Could you spell your name. 21 MR. HUCKLE: K.Y.L.E. The last name is 22 Huckle, H.U.C.K.L.E. 23 THE COURT: Can you spell that one more time. 24 I missed it. 25 MR. HUCKLE: Yes. I’m sorry. It’s 26 H.U.C.K.L.E. 27 THE CLERK: Your name and address, please. 20 1 MS. BRADLEY: My name is Anne Bradley. I’m 2 the defendant. 3 THE CLERK: And your address please. 4 MS. BRADLEY: Address. You want my residency 5 or my postal? My residency is 360 State Street, 6 Apartment 719, but I don’t get mail there. And 7 that’s on my appearance. 8 THE CLERK: Thank you. 9 THE COURT: All right. You can all be 10 seated. 11 Okay. Attorney St. Rock, you can proceed. 12 ATTY. ST. ROCK: All right. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 21 1 K Y L E H U C K L E, of 360 State Street, New 2 Haven, Connecticut, having been duly sworn, was examined and 3 testified as follows: 4 DIRECT EXAMIANTION OF HUCKLE BY ATTY.

ROCK: 14 Q Mr. Huckle, was – was the defendant, Miss Bradley, 15 already a tenant at the property at the time Ansonia State 16 Street acquired the building? 17 A Yes. 18 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Okay. And I’m handing Mr. 19 Huckle another document for identification with a 20 copy to Miss Bradley. 21 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 22 Q Could you identify this document? 23 A Yes. This is the lease agreement. 24 Q What is the date on that lease agreement? 25 A January 11th, 2013. 26 Q It appears that this was signed by Bozzuto Management 27 on behalf of, and lists the plaintiff MEPT Chapel Street, 23 1 LLC. What was Bozzuto’s relationship to the property? 2 A Bozzuto was the management company at that time. 3 MS. BRADLEY: Excuse me. I can’t hear him. 4 THE WITNESS: Bozzuto was the management 5 company at that time. 6 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 7 Q And was MEPT Chapel Street, LLC the owner at that 8 time? 9 A Yes. 10 Q Did South Oxford Management ever sign a new lease 11 with Miss Bradley since purchasing the building? 12 A No. 13 Q To the best of your knowledge, this is the most 14 recent lease signed by Miss Bradley for her apartment? 15 A Yes. Correct. 16 ATTY. ST. ROCK: All right. Your Honor, I ask 17 that this be entered as an exhibit as well. 18 THE COURT: Any objection? 19 MS. BRADLEY: Pardon? 20 THE COURT: Any objection? 21 MS. BRADLEY: I would like to make a 22 statement in regards to HUD and Section 8. 23 THE COURT: So you will have an opportunity to 24 do that, it’s just not right now. So while he’s 25 testifying – like he will have an opportunity to 26 testify, but you will be able to – to testify 27 yourself if you would like to, but it sounds like 24 1 you don’t have an objection, so I’ll allow this to 2 be admitted as a full exhibit. 3 ATTY. ST. ROCK: I didn’t bring a copy for 4 the Court. I would need that back. 5 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 6 Q Mr. Huckle, under this lease what is the total 7 monthly rent owed for this apartment? 8 A Nine hundred and thirty-two dollars per month. 9 Q Has that rent changed in the past ten plus years or 10 is the rent still nine hundred thirty-two dollars a month 11 today? 12 A It’s still nine hundred and thirty-two dollars today. 13 Q Okay. Does Miss Bradley pay the whole – the whole 14 nine hundred thirty-two or only a portion? 15 A She only pays a portion. 16 Q Who pays the remaining portion? 17 A Elm City Communities. 18 Q Okay. Is this through the federal Section 8 program? 19 A Correct. 20 Q Okay. Who determines the amount of Miss Bradley’s 21 portion of the rent? 22 A Elm City Communities. 23 Q Okay. 24 ATTY. ST. ROCK: I’m handing a third document 25 to Mr. Huckle for identification with a copy to 26 Miss Bradley. 27 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 25 1 Q Could you identify this document? 2 A Yes, this is a notification of the housing payment 3 portion. 4 Q What’s the date on it? 5 A It is April 29th, 2024. 6 Q Was this for her last redetermination? 7 A Yes. Correct. 8 Q Okay. Does – so this letter tells the landlord and 9 the tenant what portion Elm City Community is to be paying 10 and what portion Miss Bradley is to be paying, correct? 11 A Correct. 12 Q Does the letter indicate that Elm City Community sent 13 Miss Bradley a copy of this letter? 14 A Yes, it does say that she’s cc’d at the bottom. 15 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Okay. I ask that this be 16 entered as an exhibit. 17 THE COURT: Any objection, ma’am? 18 MS. BRADLEY: I – 19 THE COURT: Understanding that you will have 20 an opportunity to testify. 21 MS. BRADLEY: - will have – I will have some 22 issues about this letter, so I – I do not consider 23 it a valid letter. 24 THE COURT: Okay. 25 MS. BRADLEY: But I – if they want to enter 26 it, they’re only framing themselves. 27 THE COURT: Okay. So hearing no objection, 26 1 I’ll have it admitted as a full exhibit. 2 ATTY. ST. ROCK: And I’m just handing Mr. 3 Huckle a copy of what I just - 4 THE COURT: All right. 5 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 6 Q All right. Mr. Huckle, what does this letter tell 7 you about Miss Bradley’s portion of the rent? 8 A It states that her potion of the rent is two hundred 9 and sixty-four dollars per month. 10 Q Okay. And the housing assistance payment? 11 A That is six hundred and sixty-eight dollars per 12 month. 13 Q So that’s the amount that’s paid by Elm City 14 Communities, correct? 15 A Correct. 16 Q Okay. Is there an effective date for these amounts? 17 A Yes. It states the effective date as January 1st, 18 2022. 19 Q Okay. Does Miss Bradley periodically recertify her 20 income and family composition with Elm City Communities? 21 A Yes. Correct. 22 Q Does – 23 MS. BRADLEY: Can you please repeat that. I 24 didn’t – didn’t understand what you said. 25 I just – 26 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Me or – 27 MS. BRADLEY: Yes. Your question. 27 1 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 2 Q The question was, does Miss Bradley periodically 3 recertify her income and family composition with Elm City 4 Communities? 5 A Yes, correct. 6 Q Does Elm City Communities issue a letter similar to 7 this each time there is such a redetermination? 8 A Yes, that’s also correct. 9 Q Has Miss Bradley been paying her two hundred and 10 sixty-four dollars each month? 11 A No. 12 ATTY. ST. ROCK: I’m handing Mr. Huckle a 13 final document for identification with a copy to 14 Miss Bradley. 15 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 16 Q Could you identify what this document is? 17 A Yes. This is the ledger for Anne Bradley. 18 Q Does this ledger show all charges and payments 19 including Miss Bradley’s payments and the Section 8 20 payments? 21 A Yes. Correct. 22 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Your Honor, I would ask that 23 this be entered as well. 24 THE COURT: Any objections, Miss Bradley? 25 MS. BRADLEY: No because the Court order for 26 them to remove the fraudulent charges on – was 27 posted on February 16th in this ledger, so they 28 1 also framed themselves. 2 THE COURT: Okay. So hearing no objection, it 3 could be admitted as a full exhibit. 4 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 5 Q Mr. Huckle, at the time South Oxford Management took 6 over this property, November 2022 as you testified, it looks 7 like there was a large balance showing; do you agree with 8 that? 9 A Yes. Correct. 10 Q Okay. Flipping I believe to the second page of that 11 ledger, it appears that that balance was then removed in 12 February of 2023, correct? 13 A Correct. 14 Q Could you explain why that – that balance was 15 removed? 16 A So this was the balance that was remaining from the 17 past – or prime – 18 MS. BRADLEY: I can’t understand what he’s 19 saying. 20 THE WITNESS: This was the balance that was 21 remaining from the past – the time during the past 22 management’s time at 360. Excuse me. So it was 23 any of the balance that carried over when we had 24 taken over the property as the management company. 25 ATTY. ST. ROCK: And – 26 MS. BRADLEY: Can you please explain why it 27 says due to Court? 29 1 THE COURT: Ma’am. Ma’am, you’re going to 2 have to wait until his attorney is done asking 3 questions. You can ask him questions when he’s 4 done. 5 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 6 Q So South Oxford Management decided not to keep the 7 balance from Bozzuto Management, correct? 8 A Correct. 9 Q Okay. As far as you were concerned, did Miss Bradley 10 start with a clean slate in February 2023? 11 A Yes. Correct. 12 Q Okay. From that point forward, did Miss Bradley make 13 a monthly payment each month? 14 A She did. 15 Q What was the amount of those payments? 16 A A hundred and ninety-eight dollars per month. 17 Q So – 18 THE COURT: You just have to speak up. You 19 don’t have to talk into that. 20 THE WITNESS: Okay. 21 THE COURT: They don’t actually amplify – 22 THE WITNESS: Got you. 23 THE COURT: - which is why you have to – and 24 the acoustics in here are terrible, so. 25 THE WITNESS: All right. 26 BY ATTY. ST. ROCK: 27 Q So you testified earlier her portion was two hundred 30 1 sixty-four. She’s been paying a hundred and ninety-eight. 2 Sixty-six dollars each month is – she’s – is she shorting 3 South Oxford that amount each month? 4 A Yes. Correct. 5 Q Okay. And has this been going on since February 6 2023? 7 A Yes. 8 Q Does Miss Bradley rent storage space on site? 9 A She does. 10 Q How much is she charged for that each month? 11 A Fifty dollars per month. 12 Q Has she been paying those storage fees for the past 13 two years? 14 A No, she has not. 15 Q What is the outstanding balance as of today? 16 A Three thousand eight hundred and thirty-three dollars 17 and ninety cents. 18 Q Now, the – the Court’s record – court record reflects 19 that my firm served the notice to quit in this case on 20 September 13th, 2024. Looking at the ledger, it appears 21 that Miss Bradley made a payment of a hundred and ninety22 eight on September 10th, so three days before the notice to 23 quit; is that correct? 24 A Correct. 25 Q Did you apply – I’m sorry. 26 Did you apply that payment to September rent or the 27 oldest balance? 31 1 A It was applied towards the oldest balance. 2 Q Have you received any payments from Miss Bradley 3 since the notice to quit was served? 4 A We did. We received one on December 10th. 5 Q Was this payment accepted as use and occupancy only? 6 A Correct. 7 Q And for – for the non-payment, the continuing non8 payment, are you seeking possession of the property? 9 A Yes, we are. 10 ATTY. ST. ROCK: No further questions, your 11 Honor. 12 THE COURT: Miss Bradley, do you have any 13 questions for the witness? 14 CROSS EXAMINATION BY MS. BRADLEY: 15 Q In regards to the posting of February 16th, 2023 16 where it states that it’s due to court, are you aware that 17 it was a court order that – that was issued since you’ve 18 been working at 360 State Street since what, 2013? 19 A Yes, I’m aware of it. 20 Q That it was a court order? 21 A Correct. 22 Q Okay. Because what you had stated was, we removed it 23 to be nice, and it was not that. It was a court order which 24 makes a big difference. 25 MS. BRADLEY: And I asked for a copy of that 26 court order so we, you know, they could be 27 transparent. This I my account, and I wanted to 32 1 know what – what took place. And they refused to 2 give that to me so I don’t know what took place. 3 I’ve been trying to find a common ground with 4 them and that’s, you know, that’s what I found 5 have been struggling with. 6 BY MS. BRADLEY: 7 Q In regards to Exhibit 3, this is the letter from Elm 8 City Communities dated April 29th, 2024. So you explain to 9 me why you consider this letter valid when it said the 10 changes became effective January 1st of 2022? 11 A So I – I should state that this is not my letter. 12 It’s not a letter from Ansonia State Street or 360 State 13 Street. So this is the date that the letter was sent to us 14 from Elm City Communities. So that’s not necessarily the 15 date that this was originally issued. There perhaps might 16 have been one, most likely, that went out before that. And 17 then also I think it’s – it’s fair to address the fact that 18 from time to time Elm City Communities might possibly be 19 delayed in the sending of other things. So I just can’t 20 speak to the, you know, to the – their reasoning behind the 21 date. 22 Q Can you please explain to me why you only show the 23 lease agreement and not the HAP agreement? 24 A No, I cannot. 25 Q And how much the rent is on the lease, because when I 26 got a copy of it from you, it said that the rent was a 27 hundred and seventy-one dollars. Is it not important for 33 1 your office to maintain accurate records? 2 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Objection. If Miss Bradley 3 wants to admit certain evidence, she certainly can 4 do so. 5 THE COURT: So what exactly are you asking? 6 MS. BRADLEY: Why they don’t have – why 7 didn’t they issue the actual letter that they 8 supposedly got on January 1st of 2022 or before. 9 That’s what I would like to know because they’re 10 supposed to keep their own records and they’re 11 supposed to do an addendum to the lease and I’m 12 supposed to sign it. So that’s the issue. 13 When someone wants to pay rent into court, in 14 the law it specifically says that the fair use and 15 value is what has been paid that – the last agreed 16 upon rent was. That’s what gets paid into the 17 court. 18 THE COURT: Okay. So there’s not any, you 19 know, I just want to emphasize the inaccuracy of 20 their records. 21 THE COURT: Okay. So the question is, why 22 didn’t the plaintiff produce the January 2022 23 letter of what your portion – 24 MS. BRADLEY: That they supposedly got. 25 THE COURT: Okay. So that’s the question. 26 MS. BRADLEY: I never got one. 27 THE COURT: Okay. So that’s the question. 34 1 THE WITNESS: Your Honor, I would have to say 2 I can’t necessarily speak to the – to that 3 specific letter in January 1st, 2022. You know, 4 we weren’t the management company at the time. 5 THE COURT: Okay. Do you have any more 6 questions? 7 MS. BRADLEY: The reason I’m saying this is 8 because of having checks and balances. 9 Were they abated and just got a decrease in 10 their – their subsidy because I never got – I did 11 not get this letter until I went to their office 12 in 2023. 13 THE COURT: Whose office? Whose office? 14 MS. BRADLEY: Elm City Communities. 15 THE COURT: Okay. 16 MS. BRADLEY: And they printed a letter that 17 was dated 2023 saying that it was effective 2022, 18 which just makes it so illegitimate in my opinion. 19 So I just wanted to emphasize that. 20 Now, and is this like my part of the case? 21 Do I have to enter – 22 THE COURT: No. Not yet. So he’s still – 23 you’re asking – 24 MS. BRADLEY: He’s still – 25 THE COURT: If you have any questions – 26 MS. BRADLEY: He’s still doing stuff. Okay. 27 THE COURT: Yes. So if you have any more 35 1 questions for Mr. Huckle, you can ask those 2 questions, and then Attorney St. Rock might have 3 some follow-up questions for him. And then if they 4 rest, then it would be your opportunity. 5 Do you have any more questions for him? 6 MS. BRADLEY: In regards to this letter or – 7 THE COURT: Anything. 8 MS. BRADLEY: - or in regards lease? 9 THE COURT: Anything. 10 MS. BRADLEY: But I mean I will when I make 11 my case. You know, I, you know, I just don’t 12 understand why if they submit a lease, they don’t 13 submit the HAP. And they submit a warranty deed, 14 but they don’t submit the mortgage information, 15 so. 16 THE COURT: I mean, if you have any questions 17 about the exhibits, now is the time to ask them. 18 MS. BRADLEY: I think that’s been, you know, 19 that covered. 20 THE COURT: Okay. So I just had a question 21 about the letter. So the – the letter is dated 22 for 2024 because that’s when your office requested 23 a copy of this recertification, of the last 24 recertification? 25 THE WITNESS: I can’t tell you with a hundred 26 percent certainty, but most likely that is the 27 case. 36 1 THE COURT: Okay. All right. 2 THE WITNESS: Yeah. 3 BY MS. BRADLEY: 4 Q And you never created an addendum to the lease for 5 the change in any lease amount? 6 A Not to my knowledge, no. 7 THE COURT: Any further questions for Mr. 8 Huckle? 9 MS. BRADLEY: I – 10 BY MS. BRADLEY: 11 Q How do you know what the laws are for Section 8? Do 12 you just rely on Elm City Communities to tell you? 13 A No. Regarding the laws, I wouldn’t go to Elm City 14 Market – or I’m sorry. Excuse me. That was our retail 15 tenant. Elm City Communities with legal questions, no. 16 MS. BRADLEY: Because when Chris Robinson was 17 your assistant, I sent him the laws regarding when 18 a new owner – a new landlord takes ownership of 19 the property, they have to be the ones approved, 20 not the Section 8 tenants. So I’m just perplexed 21 how you believe that a tenant has to have a new 22 lease at – on the same property when that’s 23 against the HUD laws. It’s just not – and I – I 24 produced like a huge document. And now my scanner 25 is broken. That’s done by illegal intrusions. 26 So nevertheless, you – you had that because 27 Chris gave that to you to emphasize that that’s 37 1 the process that they go through for HUD Section 2 8. The landlord has to be approved, not the 3 tenant. The tenant is already approved. And the 4 lease has to be – have an addendum to it 5 reflecting the new landlord and anything else that 6 they may want to submit through the HUD 7 administrator. So anything that’s on the lease, 8 as you must understand, has no effect unless it is 9 in compliance with the HUD addendum, the HAP 10 addendum. So that is really the controlling 11 contract for the situation. If there’s no HAP 12 addendum, there’s no lease. 13 THE COURT: So what’s your question? 14 MS. BRADLEY: I’m just asking him if he 15 understands this – this process. 16 THE COURT: Okay. 17 THE WITNESS: It wouldn’t – that would be 18 something that’s, for lack of a better word, is 19 above my paygrade. You know, I am the manager of 20 the property, however, going into the, you know, 21 ins and out of the legality of a program that was 22 in place when the property was bought, wouldn’t be 23 something that’s within my roll. 24 BY MS. BRADLEY: 25 Q So when I sent that email to Chris Robinson and he 26 forwarded it to you, what would you have done to it, forward 27 it to the new owner? 38 1 A To be honest, I’m not sure what happened. 2 THE COURT: Any more questions for Mr. 3 Huckle? 4 MS. BRADLEY: I’m sorry. I didn’t understand 5 what you said. 6 THE COURT: I said do you have any more 7 questions for Mr. Huckle? 8 MS. BRADLEY: I – I didn’t get any answers in 9 regards to why they didn’t produce a HAP contract 10 or, which is the controlling contract for the 11 evidence, or a mortgage that’s part of the deed. I 12 didn’t get any answers to that. I just wanted to 13 emphasize that. If they want to say something now, 14 fine. 15 THE COURT: Any redirect? 16 ATTY. ST. ROCK: No redirect, your Honor. 17 THE COURT: Okay. Excuse me. 18 Have you rested? Are you resting? 19 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Yes. 20 THE COURT: Okay. 21 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Yes, your Honor. 22 THE COURT: All right. Miss Bradley, so now 23 it is your opportunity to give me any exhibits 24 that you have, any copies of anything that you’d 25 like for me to see, as well as testify as to why 26 you should not be evicted for non-payment of rent. 27 MS. BRADLEY: The notice to quit specified 39 1 non-payment of rent for August and September of 2 2024. 3 And I’ve provided the Court the checks to 4 validate that I did pay my rent for August and 5 September of 2024. And so I would like to 6 resubmit this. It’s been submitted several times 7 in the case information; and as I understand it, 8 you want a copy to submit as evidence today, so I 9 made another copy of it. 10 THE COURT: Okay. 11 MS. BRADLEY: Who do I give this to? 12 THE COURT: Any objection to the – we’ll make 13 sure that you get copies before you leave. 14 MS. BRADLEY: He marks it, right? 15 THE CLERK: Yes. 16 MS. BRADLEY: So yeah. 17 ATTY. ST. ROCK: No objection, your Honor. 18 THE COURT: So this will be Defendant’s 19 Exhibit A. 20 MS. BRADLEY: And I apologize. I didn’t make 21 an extra copy. I just got quite nervous about 22 even finding it. 23 THE COURT: That’s okay. We can make sure 24 that everyone has copies. 25 MS. BRADLEY: I would like to submit a copy 26 of the notice to quit. I must have it here in my 27 papers. 40 1 THE COURT: Actually, since that is a 2 document that was filed in this case, I can take 3 judicial notice of it and you don’t have to 4 provide a copy of it for me. 5 MS. BRADLEY: Okay. All right. Great. 6 So do I question the plaintiff at this point? 7 THE COURT: No. You’ve had your opportunity 8 to question him, so you can just talk to me about 9 why you believe you should not be evicted. 10 MS. BRADLEY: I – I’m kind of perplexed about 11 this process, but because you’re kind of like not 12 allowing me to establish the case. 13 Like in regards to the mortgage, they have a 14 two point two billion dollar building. They 15 purchased it supposedly for a hundred and sixty 16 million dollars, and the mortgage is for eighty17 nine billion dollars. So if they’re going to 18 submit the deed, why did they not submit the 19 mortgage? 20 THE COURT: I believe you asked that question 21 and got an answer and so. 22 MS. BRADLEY: I already asked and they would 23 not respond to it. 24 Also, in regards to the letter dated April 25 29th, 2024 stating that the changes to the – to 26 the rent is effective on January 1st, 2022 makes 27 that order invalid because it’s not consistent 41 1 with the dates. And they should have had that in 2 their record anyways and they should have produced 3 an addendum to the lease for a rent change and 4 have a discussion about it. And I’ve gone through 5 this with the – the housing on other occasions and 6 they – they just mismanage the whole situation. 7 They will not have hearings, so I submit detailed 8 information to them because they will not comply 9 with a hearing. And that’s why I find this quite 10 perplexing that they submit this exhibit today 11 when its not even consistent with the notice to 12 quit which says I did not pay my rent for August 13 and September. That is the subject matter 14 jurisdiction for this case. 15 THE COURT: When you say that they won’t 16 comply with a hearing, what do you mean by that? 17 What kind of hearing? 18 MS. BRADLEY: The letter? 19 THE COURT: You – you just said that they – 20 they won’t comply with a hearing. Do you mean the 21 plaintiffs or Elm City? 22 MS. BRADLEY: Neither one, actually. I mean, 23 if they had issued an addendum to the lease at the 24 time that they supposedly got a letter from the 25 Housing, we would have been on the same page. And 26 it seems like they enjoy this – this convoluted 27 situation where they can mix things up and say, 42 1 oh, well, this happened four years ago. You know, 2 it doesn’t make any sense. And if they just 3 stayed above board and have, you know, I would 4 have been able to probably get a hearing if they 5 were doing – 6 THE COURT: From who? 7 MS. BRADLEY: - what they were supposed to do 8 as far as an addendum to the lease goes. 9 THE COURT: Who would you have gotten a 10 hearing from? 11 MS. BRADLEY: Pardon me? 12 THE COURT: Who would you have the hearing 13 with? With Elm City Communities? 14 MS. BRADLEY: I did not have a hearing. I 15 requested hearings, but they don’t have hearings. 16 THE COURT: And what are the hearings for? 17 What are you requesting the hearings for? 18 MS. BRADLEY: For a number of things. I mean, 19 my housing complaint had a lot of information in 20 there and it showed the communications that I had 21 submitted, in part the communications because I 22 did my best to come up with these documents. 23 THE COURT: Okay. 24 MS. BRADLEY: My apartment is illegally 25 entered all the time. And as I had mentioned, the 26 most traumatic situation was when the maintenance 27 manager broke in my apartment and I was taking a 43 1 bath. So I was screaming. And he still kept, you 2 know, entering anyways. And, I mean, that was 3 very traumatic. 4 THE COURT: Is there anything else that you 5 would like to tell me? 6 MS. BRADLEY: The case is based on non7 payment of rent for August and September. I paid 8 my rent. So this case has no merit. 9 Had they withdrawn and then added more to it 10 in a new notice to quit, then we probably wouldn’t 11 be here today either, but nevertheless, they did 12 not even do that. So this case is based – the 13 subject matter jurisdiction can only be based on 14 the rent payments for August and September. The 15 ledgers are fraudulent. They are not consistent. 16 And as I had mentioned, that maintenance 17 manager smashed in my door the same month that 18 they got the court order. And I knew that they 19 had got the court order in January. So they just 20 posted it in February. And it’s just a situation 21 that has not been - there’s no accountability. So 22 and I sought the Court for accountability with a 23 housing complaint, which I was told many times 24 over the years that I could not do. So, and I have 25 to rely on the internet that I have and it’s very 26 manipulative. So – so that issue is also – has a 27 big bearing on what I can come up with as far as 44 1 my defense goes. 2 And as I had mentioned, you know, the 3 attorney that I retained, just totally sabotaged 4 me so I was not going to – he said he was going to 5 help me get a hearing with the Elm City 6 Communities and take part in it. And he did not 7 do that. 8 So I am not sure what other step you’re going 9 to have on this trial because I’m not, you know, 10 am I going to be able to question the plaintiff 11 and – and in regards to things? I don’t know. 12 I mean, the subject matter jurisdiction is on 13 one issue, non-payment of rent for September and 14 August and September. And obviously, they’re 15 frauding the billing and they had a court order to 16 remove almost fourteen thousand dollars. So 17 that’s the reason why I am emphasizing that. 18 I had already submitted laws in regards to 19 what the landlord is supposed to do if they want 20 to evict a HUD Section 8 tenant and that includes 21 the pre-termination notice. And that was – that 22 never took place. 23 And in their motion to dismiss, was it - no. 24 They’re objection to my motion to dismiss, they 25 actually stated that the reason why I was given a 26 thirty-day notice was for the CARES Act. And the 27 CARES Act has been discontinued since 2021 or 45 1 2022. So I – I’m completely remiss how they even 2 have that form as part of the process, but the 3 motion - the objection actually defended why they 4 gave me a thirty-day notice was for the CARES Act. 5 It had nothing to do with HUD Section 8. Yet I 6 notice that in your order for denial of my 7 dismissal you stated that they gave me the 8 appropriate time in compliance with HUD Section 8. 9 So I just, you know, I just kind of think that 10 it’s comparing apples with oranges because the 11 reason that they gave was for the CARES Act. It 12 had nothing to do with HUD Section 8. And they 13 were not in compliance with HUD Section 8 any way, 14 shape, or form. So and they’re – their summons 15 supposedly had Exhibit A and it didn’t. It just 16 added the advertisement for an attorney. It did 17 not have the notice to quit with it, which is a 18 requirement by the law. So that is another issue 19 that I wanted to bring up. 20 But the date of the return is supposed to be 21 three days and it – it was supposed to be in sync 22 with what was established on the case law. So 23 there is a huge problem there, which I am remiss 24 as to why the Court did not dismiss this case 25 because of that. I mean, the return date is 26 supposed to be set by the chief clerk. That’s in 27 Statute 51 something in the duties of the clerks. 46 1 So that’s – it just – it just boggles my mind why, 2 you know, this is not resolved, you know, because 3 the chief clerk could have said, your summons is 4 not in compliance, and he didn’t do that so the 5 summons is defective. 6 And the main thing is is that, you know, 7 their fraudulent claim that I didn’t pay my rent 8 when I did. And the last agreed upon rent was 9 actually a hundred and seventy-one dollars on 10 their records. So that’s a big issue also. 11 This is not – 12 THE COURT: So how much do you – what is your 13 position on how much you were supposed to pay per 14 month? 15 MS. BRADLEY: I’m not sure what you’re asking 16 me. 17 THE COURT: How much do you believe you were 18 supposed to pay per month? What is your portion? 19 MS. BRADLEY: I – I’m – I’ve been paying a 20 hundred and ninety-eight, and I should only be 21 paying ninety-three twenty because my income is 22 that low. And that’s according to Title 42 I 23 think it’s 1271(f), but it’s stated right in the 24 HAP contract that that - that law. So – 25 THE COURT: So where did you get that ninety26 eight twenty figure from? 27 MS. BRADLEY: Ninety-three twenty is ten 47 1 percent of the fair use and value of the rent when 2 your income is that low. 3 THE COURT: Okay. 4 MS. BRADLEY: And my income is very low. 5 THE COURT: And have you filed a 6 recertification or an adjustment? Have you filed 7 any paperwork with Elm City Communities to get an 8 adjustment? 9 MS. BRADLEY: I’ll give you an example of the 10 haphazardness with that office. 11 In 2020, September 2020, and I do have the 12 documents with me but I just have a huge amount of 13 documents. But in 2020, they requested that I 14 complete a packet. Now, the packet is really a 15 lot of redundant information because I’m still the 16 same person. I was born in the same way. I was 17 born in the same place, et cetera, et cetera. So 18 - and I have brought that up to them. You know, 19 they make it over sixty pages long. And I 20 completed it. And I scanned it in to keep for my 21 records. And they turned around and said, we 22 don’t need it now. You’re – you’re not due for a 23 recertification, which is really a renewal. They 24 call it recertification. It’s a renewal. And 25 it’s – that’s a big play on words in my opinion 26 because I, you know, it’s a renewal. I’m already 27 a Section 8 tenant that’s been approved. And what 48 1 they want is updated information, if my income has 2 changed, anything else has changed, if I had 3 emergency situations where I had a lot of bills. 4 So in - I don’t think that they, you know, I had a 5 lot of bills in 2020. So when they told me to 6 complete that, I, you know, I was thorough with 7 the costs. And I think that they just didn’t want 8 to process it. They just – so that’s the reason 9 why they just said, oh, well, you’re not due for 10 it. 11 THE COURT: So when is the last time that you 12 did a recertification? 13 MS. BRADLEY: The recertification, which is a 14 renewal, was they said, well, this is the 15 situation. They told me I could go to their 16 office to pick up the letter which it was – they 17 said was – and Tara, Tara Jones is the one that I 18 spoke to. She said there was a letter dated 19 November 7th which Hoops sent to them saying that 20 they were evicting me. And I said, you do realize 21 that that is way outside the law because a pre22 termination notice should have been submitted 23 sixty to eighty days before that. 24 THE COURT: But my question is, when is the 25 last time that you did a recertification? 26 MS. BRADLEY: So I went there to pick up the 27 letter because she said she was going to leave the 49 1 letter for me. And then she - instead I got – and 2 I didn’t get that letter. She just gave me a 3 letter that was backdated to October saying that 4 my – my Section 8 was going to be discontinued 5 because I did not complete the renewal packet that 6 I never got. And they mailed it to my residency 7 when they know that I only get mail at my post8 office box. That’s been like that since 2019. 9 And – 10 THE COURT: So do you not have a mailbox at 11 360 State Street? 12 MS. BRADLEY: Excuse me? 13 THE COURT: Do you not have a mailbox at 360 14 State Street? 15 MS. BRADLEY: I have not for that length of 16 time because my mail gets tampered with. I even 17 saw an employee go to my mailbox and unlock it. 18 She was told to do that so I did not take it 19 personally like she was out to get me. She was 20 doing what she was told to do. And they fired her, 21 and I don’t think that was right for that issue 22 because she was just doing what she was told to 23 do, but I told her, that’s my mail, you can’t take 24 my mail. 25 THE COURT: So – so that was in November of 26 2024 I presume and you’ve resolved that. 27 Prior to – in between 2020 and now, when was 50 1 the last time that you had done a recertification? 2 Was it in 2022? 3 MS. BRADLEY: It’s currently being processed 4 now. 5 THE COURT: But before that. 6 MS. BRADLEY: Because when I got the pack, 7 you know, when I went to pick up the letter, I was 8 totally shocked and I – Tara Jones wasn’t in the 9 office. And another employee did help me. She – 10 she actually was leaving, and she went back to 11 into the office to find out what the circumstances 12 were and she just said, you complete that packet 13 and you – you’ll be fine. 14 THE COURT: Okay. 15 MS. BRADLEY: I said, okay. So I went – I 16 went over there and delivered the packet after I 17 completed it. And I spent the whole weekend doing 18 it. So – and on that Monday I went over there and 19 they said they had a – they had a sign up saying 20 they had a flood and the office was closed. So in 21 order to sustain my rights, I went around the 22 corner to Federal Express and they mailed it to 23 them. So they got it by the 24th, yet Tara Jones 24 sent me an email on the 26th saying she didn’t 25 have it. And I said, I beg to differ. And I have 26 the FedEx confirmation to prove it. I even have 27 it in my purse now. So she got it. And I said, 51 1 who signed for it. And I did not get any other 2 response or call from them again, so I don’t know 3 what the situation is. And I have called them and 4 I asked, I’d like to know what the situation is 5 with this renewal packet. 6 Did 360 State Street get the HUD subsidy this 7 month, Kyle; do you know? 8 THE COURT: Not an opportunity to ask him 9 questions just yet. 10 Do you have anything else that you would like 11 to tell me? 12 MS. BRADLEY: This has to do with their juris 13 number. 14 THE COURT: Whose juris number? 15 MS. BRADLEY: The Hoops and Associates juris 16 number. They had – they used 424021 as their 17 juris number, which is an out-of-state juris 18 number. It’s a code F. It’s a juris type F. So 19 how can that, you know, the appearance should have 20 been considered illegitimate because of that. 21 They’re not out of state. 22 THE COURT: Anything else? 23 MS. BRADLEY: I’d like to submit that as 24 evidence. 25 ATTY. ST. ROCK: No objection. It seems to 26 be the print-out from the judicial website. 27 THE COURT: Okay. It will be admitted as 52 1 Exhibit B. 2 THE CLERK: Yes, your Honor. 3 THE COURT: Anything else? 4 MS. BRADLEY: Going back to 2019 when they 5 tried to evict me, they did not state any amount 6 except – 7 THE COURT: So I note that you had provided a 8 copy, you uploaded a copy of the original eviction 9 action, but because that was a different 10 plaintiff, that’s not really relevant to this 11 action because this is a completely different 12 plaintiff. 13 MS. BRADLEY: It’s not quite completely 14 different because Kyle was in the office then. 15 THE COURT: But the owner is not the same. So 16 because the owner is not the same, and it’s the 17 owners of the property that bring the eviction 18 actions, the prior eviction with the different 19 owner is not relevant to this current eviction. 20 MS. BRADLEY: Okay. Has the owner even 21 received HUD approval because I don’t have 22 anything to validate that? I just wanted to know 23 if they were approved. They’re supposed to go 24 through a process and be approved. 25 And I just, you know, I mean, this is kind of 26 a really odd circumstance because we got emails 27 saying that Oxford, South Oxford was actually the 53 1 new owner, and then they retracted those emails. 2 So I’m – at that time Chris Robinson was in – 3 working in the office and I interacted with him 4 about the dynamics. And I just said, you know, I’m 5 just looking for some transparency here and to be 6 above board, so that’s, you know, that’s why I 7 asked for some assurance that they were HUD 8 approved, because the Section 8 tenants don’t have 9 to be HUD approved, they’re already HUD approved. 10 And that’s according to the same law that’s stated 11 in the HAP contract, 42-Section 1274151(f), 12 something like that, but it’s cited right in the 13 contract. 14 THE COURT: Anything else you would like to 15 add. 16 MS. BRADLEY: Is the Court looking for me to 17 issue the laws for this case because – 18 THE COURT: No. I will review all, look at 19 all, you know, I’ve looked at all of your 20 pleadings, and I will make sure that I have 21 researched all of the law to make sure that the 22 decision that I give is rooted in law. 23 MS. BRADLEY: Okay. 24 THE COURT: Anything else? 25 MS. BRADLEY: I’m – I’m not seeking enemies 26 here. You know, I’ve just been greatly harmed and 27 I don’t know why. Why they’re doing that. Why 54 1 they get so much pleasure out of it. 2 So, you know, for them to remotely turn off 3 my washing machine for two years and it’s still 4 off. I still have to wash my clothes out by hand. 5 And it’s a very small apartment. So, you know, 6 I’m very limited with how – what I can do because 7 of that. And I just try to make the most of it. 8 So, you know, somebody vandalized my bed and 9 I had to sleep on the floor for two years because 10 nobody would give – nobody would do anything in my 11 apartment. 12 I recently had to change the battery to my – 13 my smoke alarm which is about ten feet up. So 14 that was quite a nervous time for me because I 15 have a lot of problems with my legs. I was almost 16 killed by a twenty-ton truck that slammed into me. 17 So but I had to do it because not only was it a 18 safety factor, but it was chipping, and it would 19 not stop chirping even when I took the battery 20 out. So I had to replace that. 21 I was just fortunate that I had a ladder that 22 I could use for that because my bed has been 23 lifted. I lifted my bed about, I don’t know, four 24 or five years ago. And I never was able to sleep 25 on it. I should say four or five years ago. So 26 it would have been about two and a half years ago 27 because they vandalized it right after that so 55 1 that the bed was no longer sitting on the 2 bedframe. And, you know, I’m know, you know 3 heavyweight or anything. I thought they changed 4 the box spring from queen size to king size. So I 5 was actually going to order a new box spring when 6 I could afford it. And that didn’t go through 7 because the concierge said that they didn’t want 8 me to order anything like that because they didn’t 9 want to be responsible so – when it got delivered. 10 So, you know, as it turned out, I was able to 11 put things underneath my other furniture, 12 especially my bookshelves. Furniture dollies so 13 that they could move. I could move them out of 14 the way. And I had to pull my own box spring and 15 mattress off, and it took me all night to do that, 16 and it wasn’t without pain, believe me, but I 17 found out that what they had done was they added 18 more spray insulation underneath my – my box 19 spring and that made it unlevel. So I was able to 20 get on that mattress fine. I just couldn’t use it 21 on – until I got my – my ladder, you know, to – on 22 a regular basis, but that was all within like a 23 week or two weeks’ time. I got the ladder and 24 then – and that’s when my box spring was 25 vandalized. 26 THE COURT: Okay. 27 MS. BRADLEY: So they never changed my - the 56 1 lock to my door when I moved in and they never had 2 any initial inspection. So that was – I have 3 documented that and I emphasize that because that 4 really has brought on a very difficult dynamic 5 where I don’t know who is coming in my apartment 6 because supposedly they never rented that 7 apartment out to anyone yet contractors were given 8 the keys. I got that information from the 9 maintenance people that had worked there. So, you 10 know, a simple resolve would have been just to 11 change my locks like they should have done to 12 begin with. 13 THE COURT: Okay. That’s going a little bit 14 far afield. 15 Attorney St. Rock, do you have any questions 16 for Miss Bradley? 17 ATTY. ST. ROCK: Just a couple. 18 CROSS EXAMIANTION ATTY. ST. ROCK: 19 Q Miss Bradley, you said that you believed your – your 20 legal portion of the rent was ninety-three dollars twenty 21 cents. You’ve seen the elm City Community letter that stated 22 it was two hundred sixty-four. Why have you been paying a 23 hundred and ninety-eight? 24 A I’m not going to take the law into my own hands. I 25 have relayed to them that ninety-three twenty is what I 26 should pay. And somebody actually reported to social 27 services that I paid ninety-three twenty. So they actually 57 1 reduced my food stamps because of that. And I have submitted 2 that with other pleadings. So, you know, I’m just not going 3 to take the law into my own hands. I, you know, I – I – so 4 that’s the reason why. 5 And you said I have just received this letter and why 6 wasn’t I paying what they ordered back in 2022 and the 7 letter is dated 2024. So that, you know, the question has 8 little logic to it because you did not even provide anything 9 from your own files. So – so that’s, you know, I have done 10 everything I can to interact. And I – I prepared a cease 11 and desist letter because when I was paying utilities they - 12 they actually said that the only utilities that I paid was 13 for thermal energy. So even though Community Action Agency 14 had my utility bill information from United Illuminating, 15 they refused to process me because of the letter that Kyle 16 had written, which he apparently was ordered to write. So I 17 said, why, you know, why aren’t you saying that I’m paying 18 United Illuminating. Why are you not saying that. You know, 19 so that did upset me. And I did not get energy assistance. 20 Nevertheless, I have, you know, done as much as I can 21 to interact with the housing agency. And they won’t have 22 hearings. I – so I just write everything. I type everything. 23 I – I specify things. So, you know, there’s just not any, 24 you know, it just – it just develops, it balloons, and 25 that’s – and that’s how this occurred. 26 They – they charge – on my - on the ledger they 27 charge me over finance charges, et cetera, which are – they 58 1 were just doing, this ledger shows that they’re just doing 2 the same thing all over again which is going to create 3 another court order. 4 So I just, you know, that’s a pattern of behavior 5 that should be given attention to. And I just want to 6 emphasize that. 7 Q Okay. And it sounds like you’ve had – is it accurate 8 to say that you’ve had a long-running disagreement with Elm 9 City Communities about what your portion of the rent should 10 be? 11 A I’d rather say it as a situation where they will not 12 have a hearing and they will not – there’s no – there’s no 13 resolve. It’s not like I haven’t tried. I’ve submitted a 14 lot of information. And that cease and desist letter was 15 quite big and I cited a lot of laws, you know, because when 16 they switched over to their own utilities, making their own 17 utilities, that’s on site. And even the letter that Giulio 18 Liguori submitted to everybody admitted that it was on-sight 19 and so is the storage unit. 20 And on-site charges are not part of the rent. They 21 can submit those on-site charges to the administrator and 22 then the administrator may raise the rent so that they could 23 get subsidized for it. And I have stated that. I mean, 24 that’s the reason why I submitted the cease and desist 25 letter, but they don’t even have it in their file. 26 And my flash drives were all stolen when I went to 27 New York City a few years ago, so I, you know, I do the best 59 1 I can. And I have worked very hard on this. 2 I am a peaceful person. I don’t like to, you know, 3 I’m not out to get anybody. I just don’t feel that there is 4 a proper administration of this HUD Section 8 contract. And 5 I just want to resolve. They’re saying that they’re using a 6 tier program which is outside of the law. And I said, if 7 your tier program was inconsistent with what the law – the 8 regulations of HUD say, I can understand that, but I, you 9 know, so, you know, that’s – it’s just really difficult to 10 get anybody to take part in meeting about it. So that’s the 11 issue. 12 ATTY. ST. ROCK: No further questions for 13 Miss Bradley, your Honor. 14 THE COURT: Closing statement. 15 ATTY. ST. ROCK: First I would just like to – 16 because Miss Bradley entered that, I believe it’s 17 Defendant’s Exhibit 2. I would just like to 18 address that. I’m not familiar with the codes on 19 the judicial website code F. To be honest, I 20 don’t know what that means. Attorney Hoops and I 21 are both licensed to practice law in the State of 22 Connecticut and we have never been notified of an 23 issue with the firm being able to practice in this 24 State. So if there was an issue, this would be 25 the first that I was hearing of it. I just wanted 26 to put that forward. 27 And then – 60 1 MS. BRADLEY: Is that in regards to your 2 juris number? 3 ATTY. ST. ROCK: It is, yes. I have no 4 knowledge of any issues with the 424021 juris 5 number practicing in this state as an in-state 6 attorney. That’s my representation to the Court. 7 MS. BRADLEY: But you do have an active juris 8 number, an A juris number. 9 THE COURT: Ma’am, so he’s doing his closing 10 argument – 11 MS. BRADLEY: Okay. 12 THE COURT: - so you can speak to that after 13 he’s done. 14 ATTY. ST. ROCK: I just – I wanted to speak 15 to the 2019 case. And I know it’s not – it’s the 16 prior plaintiff, but there are a lot of 17 similarities to this case. 18 The issues that come up are the same of the 19 alleged tenant shorting the rents. In that prior 20 case, the Court found that the plaintiff had 21 proved their case but ruled in the defendant’s 22 favor on equitable grounds finding that the 23 balance of equities favored the defendant in that 24 situation. We argue that the balance of equities 25 today is very different from it was five and a 26 half years ago. For one thing, back then it was 27 only a few months of shorting the rent. Today it’s 61 1 been almost two years. 2 The second thing I would point out is, the 3 Court previously found that Miss Bradley had just 4 made a mistake and that she was acting to correct 5 that mistake and that it was not willful or 6 grossly negligent. Here we are five and a half 7 years later and the same issue is coming up, the 8 same things are happening. This is – it’s a 9 pattern at this point that Miss Bradley disagrees 10 with Elm City Communities when they tell her what 11 her rent is and she pays something different and 12 it's less – it’s always less than what – what 13 should be paid. So this is willful disregard. 14 This is not a mere mistake this time like it was 15 the last time. 16 And so in closing I would just say the 17 plaintiff has met its burden of proof; and again, 18 the balance of equities are different than they 19 were five and a half years ago. 20 Thank you. 21 THE COURT: Miss Bradley. 22 MS. BRADLEY: The plaintiff was issued a 23 court order to remove almost fourteen thousand 24 dollars from their accounting because of 25 fraudulent billing. So that puts things in a 26 different dynamic. 27 And I’m just looking for solutions. I’m not 62 1 the one that prosecutes. I’m not the one that says 2 this person is to blame, that person is to blame. 3 I’ve been getting ledger print-outs every 4 time I make my rent payments. Yet when August 5 came around, they refused to give me a print-out; 6 and then when September came around, they refused 7 to give me a print-out. So why is that? 8 And – and then September 18th was when I saw 9 a crumpled- up paper in my doorframe. I didn’t 10 leave until September 20th and found out that it 11 was the notice to quit. 12 So there’s something really convoluted here. 13 And I was very sick. They knew that because I had 14 just happened to be expecting a Home Depot 15 delivery, so I explained to the concierge that I 16 would not be able to pick it up for a while 17 because I said all of a sudden I just got really 18 sick. And so she knew that on the 12th and she 19 noted it within their, you know, their internal 20 system. 21 So there’s just – why do they think that, you 22 know, playing these tactics solves anything. Why 23 don’t they just be transparent and deal with 24 whatever I had - issues that I questioned. 25 I saw Kyle about the so-called new lease, and 26 the lease was actually a request to be approved. 27 And I was in jeopardy of actually losing an 63 1 opportunity to stay there if I filed that when I 2 was already approved. And I – so I asked, I 3 provided the – I cited laws in regards to that. I 4 gave the - Chris his assistant, he was property 5 manager then and they changed his title to 6 community services manager, which is kind of 7 convoluted if you ask me. Anyways, I was very 8 communicative with them in regards to my concerns. 9 So I went down to the office and talked directly 10 to Kyle about signing anything and asking him why 11 they don’t just make an addendum to the lease with 12 a new notification that there’s a new owner. And 13 as it turned out, he just said, you don’t have to 14 – you don’t have to do anything. So that was - 15 that was it. It wasn’t like I just ignored it and 16 figured it would go away. I spent a lot of time 17 trying to find out why it was even justified. Why 18 it was even needed. And so - so that’s, you know, 19 and that’s been the way things have been with my 20 tenancy. I’m very communicative with issues that I 21 – I have concerns about. And I mean, they’d just 22 rather get rid of me rather than just address 23 them. So I – it just – it just bewilders me. 24 I’ve had so many problems with, you know, 25 illegal entries. And that could have been 26 resolved with a new – with a change of locks. 27 So and my apartment wasn’t even inspected. 64 1 And that was a big deal because I was told that I 2 could move in within a couple of days after 3 signing the lease information. And as it turned 4 out, she’s – which was in December. It was the 5 pre-contact information or something like that, 6 but it was all a part of my file. And it’s still 7 part of my file. So I gave my landlord a thirty8 day notice, and that bombed out. I mean, I – I 9 still told her that I was going to be gone by 10 January 15th. I had one weekend to move 11 everything. And the truck that I rented didn’t 12 even have ramp on it. And I couldn’t - they were 13 – they said they were closed over the weekend so I 14 was – I was really just a in a really bad 15 situation. I was – it was a truck rental that was 16 located in the downtown area, so I thought it 17 would be easier to rent a truck that way, and it 18 turned out to be a really horrible thing because 19 it’s really hard on my legs as it is, but without 20 having a dolly and a ramp, I mean, and they didn’t 21 give me either. And those are just expected 22 things that they put in the truck when you’re 23 moving. So, you know, I – I just had a lot of 24 difficulties that I’ve tried to overcome by just 25 communicating. And that’s just been my situation. 26 And I had mentioned that I lost my whole 27 sixteen hundred dollar deposit. I mean, I was 65 1 penniless for a while because of that. And it 2 takes a long time for me to save money because I 3 have such a low income. And so I – I really 4 struggled when I moved in there with those issues. 5 And then finding out that my apartment was never 6 inspected and yet Giordano Liquer said that that 7 was what’s causing my delay, that it had not been 8 inspected. So and then she said it was when it 9 really wasn’t. It was just - the director just 10 signed off on a one-page document saying that the 11 apartment was okay. If she wanted to do that, why 12 didn’t she just do that to begin with. You know, 13 so these things I have dealt with since I’ve been 14 there. And I’ve – I’m the one that communicates 15 the issues. And so, I mean, when Kyle said, don’t 16 worry you don’t have to sign anything, that should 17 have been the end of it because it was his 18 decision and my lease still stood. So, and now 19 they’re trying to make it look like I don’t have a 20 lease and that I took possession of the apartment 21 in November, but they’re still getting the HUD 22 subsidy. So I mean, that is one print-out that 23 Tara Jones did leave for me, but she told me that 24 she was discontinuing my subsidy as of January. I 25 understand that that did not take place, but I’m 26 not getting any feedback from them in regards to 27 exactly what that means. So and if they just, you 66 1 know, responded with, well, you know, I got your 2 message, you were just working on it, something 3 like that, fine, you know, but I’m not getting 4 that. So, and like I mentioned in 2020, they had 5 me fill out a whole packet and that took a lot of 6 time and I had a lot of expenses at that time that 7 I submitted. And I said, if you want a hearing, 8 I’m more than happy to discuss this. So, and 9 instead they just didn’t process me. So I mean all 10 that work that I did on it made no difference to 11 them. Yet according to HUD if you have any 12 changes in your income or expenses, you’re 13 supposed to report that for your own benefit as 14 well as theirs. Especially if your income is – 15 has increased. 16 So I just – I’m trying to work with a system 17 that is essentially unhealthy. So I will just – 18 I’ll just leave it at that. It’s not like I’m 19 trying to – I can’t afford to move. So it's not 20 like it’s a situation where I can just get up and 21 go. And I’m disabled. So that’s, you know, 22 that’s also something that needs to be taken into 23 consideration. 24 THE COURT: All right.
