A tenant and his landlord faced off at the Georgetown Magis-trate’s Court yesterday after the tenant was accused of using abusive language and engaging in inappropriate behaviour.
Fenton McAdams appeared yesterday before Magistrate Fabayo Azore to respond to the charge that on September 9, he verbally abused his landlord, Sharah Azad.
During the proceedings, Azad alleged that McAdams had been verbally abusive towards her on multiple occasions, particularly when intoxicated. She claimed that he not only cursed her regularly but also exposed himself inappropriately. Azad expressed frustration over the situation and told the court that she wanted McAdams to vacate her property immediately and cease any form of communication with her. According to her, the situation had become unbearable due to the tenant’s behaviour.
McAdams admitted to using abusive language, stating that he had been intoxicated at the time of the incidents. However, he firmly denied Azad’s allegation that he had exposed himself to her. McAdams explained that while he may have been drunk on several occasions, he never displayed any inappropriate conduct of that nature. In the course of his partial admission, McAdams strove to clarify that his actions were limited to verbal exchanges.
Magistrate Azore, after hearing both sides, placed McAdams and Azad on a bond to keep the peace. The magistrate made it clear that any violation of this bond could result in serious consequences, including a potential three-month prison sentence for McAdam. Additionally, McAdam was ordered to vacate Azad’s property.
