On April 5, a fire broke out on the floor above Henry’s apartment and set off the sprinklers in her home, according to local ABC affiliate WATE.

Henry had lived in the apartment for three years at the time of the fire.

She loved her home and has always paid her rent on time, per the same source.

She gave the media outlet a tour of the home pointing out the areas that were damaged due to the fire.

“The water came through the sprinkler, it came on and water had wet the wall and the ceiling had water pockets behind and also coming through here,” Henry explained.

She had to stay in hotels for about five weeks while the damage was being repaired.

After returning to her apartment, she approached her manager about the rent she incurred during the time the apartment was unhabitable.

“I asked her about May’s payment when I went to the office on May 11 when we moved back in. She told me not to worry about May’s payments, to just bring her the receipts and she’ll send it to corporate and she will get it resolved,” said Henry.

She then submitted all of her hotel receipts as requested and assumed that May’s rent was being waived, she said.

Then in June, she received an email that she owed back rent in the amount of $1,750 for May.

According to Henry, the landlord said: “We would like for you to continue to live here, or pay, or move out.”

They also said: “We are going to proceed in filing an eviction for nonpayment of rent if you don’t bring your delinquent balance,” per Henry.

After contacting the landlord several times about the matter, Henry said they replied: “We are coming to an agreement on May’s rent, not because we have done anything wrong.

“We are doing this for you out of goodwill. With a settlement agreement, we will take May’s rent off your account.”

However, there was a stipulation.

“The landlord will provide a rental credit of $1,550, allow you to transfer to a new unit, provided she immediately removes any unfavorable comments, reviews, and online postings and that she’d keep terms of the agreement confidential,” the settlement agreement said.

Henry refused to sign it.

“I didn’t sign it because in paragraph five it stated they will fine me $5,000 if they find anything unfavorable, which I have already opened up a case with the city of Knoxville and the Better Business Bureau,” she said.

She then received another notice from the landlord saying she owed $200 in fees and would be evicted if she didn’t pay them by July 24.

“It’s never going to end until I move out. That’s what she wants me to do, just go away,” Henry told the outlet.
