600-pound man evicted allegedly because of his weight: MyFoxNY.com
A 600-pound Conn. man says his landlord is evicting him and his mom because of his weight problem.
25-year-old Joey Dibendetto lives with his mother Debbie Verab in a walk-up apartment in New Haven.
He is constantly on oxygen and can hardly move. But, when he does move, its causing damage to the apartment.
And thats why he claims his family is being forced out of the Ridgeview Condominiums apartment.
A piece of plywood covers a hole Dibendetto says he put in the floor with his foot.
His mother says its been unfixed for a few months.
The floor and tub are sinking in the bathroom and the family says the toilet doesnt flush anymore.
The son of the landlord confirmed to the local Fox News station that the eviction has nothing to do with any rent problems. He admitted that the family has paid it on time every month. Instead, he cited violations that he would not detail.
Dibendetto says the family has not been given enough time to find a new place to live.
