Horizon Group Management, a company that manages over 1500 apartments in Chicago has sued former tenant Amanda Bonnen for defamation after reading a Twitter post in which she blasts the living conditions of her building.
The landlord is looking for $50,000 USD in the suit, and is claiming the Tweet "maliciously and wrongfully" defames them.
The news quickly made its rounds across the Internet, especially after Horizon owner Jeffrey Michael said blatantly, "We're a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization."
Horizon has apologized for Michael's statement but they could have a real public relations crisis, especially if Bonnen's claims were at all real.
