Former apartment manager accused of stealing rent money

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A former apartment manager is accused of stealing more than $118,000 from tenants' rent money.

Rosalinda Herrera was working as the manager of Mapletree Gardens Apartments in 2009, according to court documents, when the management group over the property discovered a theft. They confronted Herrera and fired her, and she reportedly admitted taking the money and agreed to repay about $9,000.

Court documents state that Herrera reportedly would offer unauthorized discounts for rent payments that were made in cash or paid in advance. She was said to have changed money orders into her own name, and allegedly made adjustments in the accounting books to cover up the thefts.

When cleaning out Herrera's office, the manager for the property management group reportedly discovered cash and money orders that corresponded to rent payments deposited into Herrera's personal account totalling more than $118,000, court documents state.

Herrera, 34, is charged with aggregate theft, a felony charge. Bail in the case has been set at $104,000.

  1. There are many Houston apartments which may are frauds but not all are like this. Some are really good and provides all the facilities in your budget.
