A TENANT has been left astounded after getting an eviction notice demanding she leave her home in just three days despite dutifully paying her rent each month.
The bizarre note accused Tina Freison of failing to make rent for her Ohio home, but she has proof she’s never missed a payment.
Frieson, who lives at King’s Cove Apartments in Toledo, Ohio, about an hour south of Detroit, Michigan, was blindsided as she had paid rent in full this entire year.
In fact, the tenant has receipts documenting her payments in January, February, and March,
After getting the notice, Frieson was terrible confused, and said she “couldn’t sleep all night,” CBS local affiliate WTOL reported.
“I couldn’t wait till the office opened because I’m like, I’m concerned,” she said.
“What are you talking about? I just renewed my lease for 2025.”
She even had a valid lease agreement in hand.
But her notice mentioned that she just had three days to pack up and leave her apartment.
She suspects the issue stems from a mix-up when management changed hands, leading to her payments not being recorded properly, despite her checks being cashed, CBS local affiliate WTOL reported.
“My payments are correct, on time, I’m never late, and I couldn’t understand that,” she said.
Despite repeatedly demanding answers, she was met with silence, until a call from management gave her a sliver of hope.
“Honestly, it made me feel a little better,” she admitted.
“I know that there’s something wrong. Something’s going on out here. This has been ongoing and this is the first thing they do to people. I think they’re harsh.”
Frieson is frustrated and insists she’s done nothing wrong.
She is hoping for a resolution before she’s forced out onto the street.
“I’m stressed out with no answers,” she said.
How common is eviction in the US?
Millions of households receive an eviction notice each year.
The Eviction Lab at Princeton University estimated that per 100 renting households, about 7.8 evictions were filed each year.
The Eviction Lab tracks filings across 10 states and 36 cities.
In a typical year, landlords file about 3.6 million eviction cases.

“If you’re not paying your bills, I understand, you’ve got to go. But I have no reason to be served an eviction notice, none whatsoever.”
For now, Frieson is stuck in limbo, waiting to see if she’ll be allowed to stay in the home she’s always paid for.
According to Nemat Law Firm, wrongful eviction occurs when a landlord attempts to evict a tenant without following proper legal procedures, such as filing a dispossessory action and obtaining a writ of possession from the court.
Landlords who wrongfully evict tenants can face legal consequences, including damages for trespass.
The tenant may seek compensation for the value of the remaining lease term and any additional damages resulting from the wrongful eviction.
Wrongful evictions are common in the US.
Earlier this March, a couple in Los Angeles, Cody Recker and Jessica Perez, were allegedly forced out of their six-bedroom apartment under false pretenses.
The couple said their home was infested with mushrooms due to plumbing issues, and they repeatedly asked their landlord, Invitation Homes, to make repairs.
Instead, they were told they had to leave so the property could undergo major renovations, the Los Angeles Times reported.
By 2023, the company insisted the house was unsafe and required substantial repairs, which, at the time, was a legal reason for evictions in LA.
But the house was never fixed.
Weeks after the couple left, it was put up for sale.
