TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Chang Shu-ching (張淑晶), dubbed the “evil landlady” by
Taiwanese media for swindling tenants over the years, was sentenced to eight years and two months in prison Tuesday.
Appeals were still possible against the sentence, of which seven years could not be replaced by paying a fine, the Central News Agency reported. A man surnamed Huang (黃), 55, who was also charged in the same case was found not guilty.
Since the end of 2013, Chang had presented false documents for tenants to sign at apartments in four districts of New Taipei City and sued 18 of them even though she knew they were not to be blamed for anything, the New Taipei District Court said.
