In August of 2021 I acquired a 2bd 2ba from PAMA Management Company. My mother just passed on January 20, 21' and I had to move back to LA, CA from LV, NV. I had to live homeless at the Motel6 with my family. I asked some "friends" for help with finding me and my son and dog a place to stay. One of the "friends" took me to PAMA Management in SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, the name of the realty company was a sub-renter of PAMA Management, but I cannot remember the name. The lady I saw was Ms. Bowman. She was polite and told me I needed $2600.00 to move in. The first apartment went "fast" a bungalow 2bd 1 ba small yard perfect for $1200 per month. I accepted the lost and she said another apartment was coming up and I did acquire that one on Lincoln across from High School. On October 1, 2021, the day of moving-in, the apartment was unkept. I still accepted the apt because I can clean it up myself and plus, I was living homeless between "friends" and the Motel 6. A lady met me at the property, the manager and gave keys to the apt. I was not allowed to move in until 5pm. According to "friends". I began unloading my items from the car and she and the neighbors in the building watched me. When I brought out my dog a medium sized pit/beagle mix, the manager had a meltdown. and yelled "hey lady you can't have that dog here". I told her the management company knows I have a dog. He is a PSTD dog, and I have a have documents and a permanent CA dog license, tags, etc. She did not care, and said the neighbors were going to complain because they cannot do the same. She kept calling me Gabriela, so I let her know my name is Gabrielle and that pissed her off. Her daughter explained in English since I got smart with her, I cannot have the apt. and it is not ready. The daughter said the mother was trying to communicate with me but once she started yelling and the whole building came outside it was done. I left, completely broken, called my son told him we still had to live outside and did not reach his school until 7pm in LA PALMA, CA. That was not a good night for either one of us. We cried for weeks and grew stronger. My credit score went from 586 to 463. yeah, really stuck outside now. I had to go and pick up his disabled old father from LAS VEGAS who refused to leave us and my son father, and I went to PAMA MANAGEMENT office in Montclair, CA I think. Stayed there from 9am until 2pm making a formal complaint and waiting for a refund. That is when we found out it was all a game, just to take to "non-refundable" security deposit of $1300. There were plenty of bungalow apartments left. The "friend" didn't want us "next " to her and the apartment on Lincoln I may have gotten if the manager did not see the dog, but why should I hide my dog that did not make sense to me. My 2 now no longer "friends" and Ms. Bowman wanted to teach me a lesson of "thinking I was somebody special and I am light skinned", what in the hook-a-ju. I didn't even know Ms. Bowman. I am pretty sure she was not in on the lesson being taught, but maybe the game. During our 7 hour wait at PAMA MANAGEMENT Office we took the dog in the office who sat there the entire time not bothering anyone. not a soul. We had to call the police to get our money back. and PAMA MANAGEMENT Office was not going to give us anything if we did not call the police. I had the nerve to go back to them 1 year later. They toyed with me again, because now I want to rent a house. My credit is acceptable I have the money, but they didn't give me a place this time. They kept me coming back and forth until I gave up. We stayed homeless from that point until my brother died and left me a little something in June 2023. We finally stopped being homeless on September 17, 2023. I do blame PAMA Management for it as well. I know "friends" are not all what they say, but companies, entities, should have some respect and not allow people like that to ruin them, unless they are the same. Rent kept climbing and homelessness almost seemed unbreakable. My brother saved us. I could not believe it. It broke my spirit, something AWFUL. I still can't shake it. The second time around it made me feel even dumber. I would love to be a part of the lawsuit. That was soooooo evil of them read more
