People across the Kansas City area have reacted strongly to a picture circulating on social media of a letter demanding some residents pay rent.
A woman posted the letter her husband noticed while he delivered a meal at a Pleasant Valley apartment complex.
KMBC's investigative reporter Matt Flener reached out to the landlord mentioned in the letter. The woman's son responded.
"She posted the notice on April 1 when some tenants were confused thinking they didn't have to pay rent because they couldn't be evicted. The Clay County order is dated April 3," Chris Jordan said in a response.
Jordan said his 79-year-old mother has been inundated with nasty and threatening phone calls and text messages.
"While the notice she posted may seem to lack compassion, there is no stimulus relief for individual landlords and she still has to pay the insurance, water, public lights, trash pickup, etc for her tenants. Please consider all sides," he wrote.
