NCHRC Interview & Response

Leading up to my interview with Investigator Ronya Bynum, I submitted all of the requested documentation, organized and labeled by exhibit. I also provided a letter from my therapist and a clinical health evaluation to show how the living situation was impacting my mental health. Before the interview, I was required to sign a statement…

Contacting Director of NCHRC

After raising serious concerns about how my case was being handled, the Mr. Ekblad assured me they "take these complaints seriously" and promised better communication. However, internal emails tell a different story. Investigator Ronya Bynum responded to my concerns by laughing behind the scenes, saying, "Lol, she doesn’t realize I completed my quota for the…

Evidence of Defamation

I emailed opposing counsel confirming that I priority-mailed my pre-arbitration submission since electronic exchange wasn’t allowed. I also notified him about new evidence I received from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission showing that Anna had provided false statements in a reference, which supported my claims of retaliation and defamation. I made it clear I…

Contacting Manager of NCHRC

I was notified that Ronya Bynum would be handling the case on September 27, 2024, right at the 30-day mark. I immediately emailed her with questions and updated my address, but after multiple follow-ups on October 1st, 7th, and 12th with no response, I grew frustrated and contacted the program manager.

Motion for Leave

This was the only motion I filed that was truly a mistake on my part. I filed a Motion for Leave under Rule 15(a) because I thought I had to, based on what opposing counsel and the magistrate said during the small claims hearing. There were no major changes — just an update that I…

Final Communication

After the move-out, Anna’s tone completely shifted — she suddenly became polite, even wishing me well. But her actions didn’t match her words. I wrote what I did to her because she needed to understand the real impact her behavior had on my life, and why I don’t believe the "clean break" narrative she tried…

Vacating the Premises

The next day, I received the "lightest" settlement offer they had sent, but it was still misleading and violated the law. The City of Raleigh’s Code Enforcement letter clearly stated, "It is against the law to rent or offer to rent a dwelling on which a notice has been issued until the unit has been…

Violations: Improper oral motion; hearsay and prior negotiations; potential personal bias.
