Renters in Fayetteville are out thousands of dollars for a house they say isn’t for rent.
“We’re newlyweds. We have a baby; we want to move, and it’s just been a nightmare,” Bianca Davis Spence said. She and her husband thought a Fayetteville home would be the perfect rental for their family.
The man claiming to be the landlord, Edwin Jamaal Wilson walked her through the home.
“I took pictures of the house because I wanted to see where I wanted to put my furniture and all of that, and (I) gave him a deposit. We signed a lease right there,” Spence said.
The lease they signed states Spence and her family could move in on December 20, 2023.
