Question: My elderly aunt has rented the same apartment for more than 15 years. Recently she received a warning notice from the manager requiring her to remove her accumulated belongings from the unit because they “constitute a safety hazard.” When I called the resident manager about the warning notice, she said my aunt was a hoarder. I know that my aunt has difficulty discarding possessions, even old newspapers. I don’t think she can control this behavior, and I am worried that she may have some kind of mental illness. Is there anything that can be done to protect her housing?
