ATLANTA – State Representative Yasmin Neal (D-Jonesboro) recently announced that she was able to assist, alongside state investigators, in securing rent refunds and reducing rent for the next six months for senior citizens residing at Renaissance Garden Walk senior living apartments in Clayton County.
“The citizens of my district at the Renaissance senior living facility in Clayton County came to a delegation meeting and voiced their concerns,” said Rep. Neal. “Since then, I have spoken to the owner of the company, the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and others. The DCA sent an investigative team to the Renaissance, which I accompanied. We visited with each of the residents as DCA began their investigation. Upon completing the investigation and finding a violation of their protocol, seniors will receive a refund and reduction in their rent. It has been an honor to have been able to answer the call to service in this moment – this is what service is about. Elected officials cannot stand by while our citizens are harmed. We must act, and we must do something. I am so grateful for the partnership with DCA – well done. I want to personally thank Commissioner Chris Nunn and his team for activating and responding so quickly to help the senior citizens!”
Representative Yasmin Neal represents the citizens of District 79, which includes a portion of Clayton County. She was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2020 and currently serves on the Economic Development & Tourism, Judiciary Non-Civil, Public Safety and Homeland Security and Ways & Means committees.
