Cameisha Whetstone has two children ages 2 and 4 and has lived at Montgomery’s Brentwood Estates apartment complex for three years. On Jan. 24, she walked through the apartments with a Montgomery Advertiser reporter and showed some of the issues that residents are facing, including flooding and a lack of heat.
Whetstone’s apartment lease was terminated the next day.
Brentwood Estates Property Manager Robbin Crawford said she terminated the lease because Whetstone tried to fight her assistant. But Whetstone said the administration asked why she was working with a journalist then terminated the lease in retaliation.
Tenants brace against cold, flooding
A day earlier, Whetstone greeted neighbors as she walked through the complex and talked about problems the residents face. She pointed to a burst pipe spurting gallons of water through Brentwood and into multiple people’s apartments. The water had been gushing from the pipe for days and caused residents to have low water pressure, she said.
