Cy-Fair resident sued over Montrose property sale

Florida residents are suing after, they say, their property in Montrose was sold without proper notice.

John Giraldo and Monica Liloy filed a lawsuit on Feb. 2 in the Harris County District Court against Anthony Norman of Cy-Fair and Fabriger Investments, requesting injunctive relief.

The plaintiffs say that on May 1, 2008, Giraldo leased property, located at 4901 Milam St., to a third party, who asserted that Giraldo failed to return his security deposit. According to the brief, the alleged unreturned security deposit led to a writ of execution for the sale of the property. The District Court of Harris County, however, granted a temporary restraining order in time to stop the sale.

Norman bought the property at a constable sale despite the order from the court prohibiting the sale, say the plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order, reimbursement of rental payments, reimbursement for property damage, attorney’s fees and court costs. They are being represented in the case by Houston attorney Jennifer Turner.
