Evicted over Peeps?

Tweet

I dont think so... The trial of a Boulder County woman who claims she was evicted from her Gunbarrel apartment last spring over her Easter decorations has been delayed. Carol “Chay” Burdick, 60, was set for a jury trial to begin Tuesday morning. On Monday afternoon, the case was pushed back to June 22. Burdick gained national attention last year after she claimed that her landlord kicked her out because she wouldn't take down her Easter decorations, which included bunny-shaped, sugar-coated marshmallow Peeps candies attached to the top of her door. She is being sued by Aimco, a Denver-based real estate investment trust that owns the Meadow Creek Apartments at 5105 Williams Fork Trail in Gunbarrel. The company claims Burdick was evicted because she refused to pay rent — not because of the Peeps — and it's seeking $2,300 in unpaid rent as well as attorneys' fees that could top tens of thousands of dollars. Burdick counter-sued, claiming Aimco breached its contract with her and acted with negligence. Because of limits at the county court level, the most a jury could award Burdick is $15,000. Burdick's attorney, John Pineau, could not be reached for comment late Monday.
