Low-income

By ROBIN ADAMS
Chronicle Assistant Editor _
On Nov. 30, Betty Mosley will be put out of her
apartment. Not because she is behind in the rent or
because she has damaged the property; Mosely
must leave her home because too many live there.
Mosley, who lives in Goler Metropolitan Apartments
on Old Greensboro Road, was sent a letter
last month telling her that her family of five - three
children, one grandchild and herself - was too big
for the four-bedroom apartment she rents.
"We just have to get out," said Mosley. "We
been living here going on three years and all of a
sudden they come up with this."
According to the letter Mosley received from her
property manager, A1 Morse, she needs an apartment
thgi has as many bedrooms as she has persons
living in the house. And, because Goler has no
apartipents with five bedrooms, she has to move.
