A Union City landlord was arrested after authorities say he unlawfully evicted a tenant earlier this month and removed all of her belongings while she was out of the country.
Ron Bello, president of the real estate management company that owns a multi-family home at 508 Bergenline Ave., was charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and unlawful eviction, Union City spokeswoman Erin Knoedler said.
“No one deserves to be evicted without proper notice, have a building owner or landlord enter their apartment without their knowledge and have all of their possessions removed,” said Mayor Brian P. Stack, who filed an order to show cause a demand of a judge for a party to justify their actions against Bello on behalf of tenant Milka Camposano.

Hudson County’s COVID-19 vaccination site is operating with Swiss watch-like precision, vaccinating more than 1,200 people a week. But statistics show that people of color have been largely left out of that success story.
While Hispanic residents make up nearly 43% of Hudson County’s population, they comprise only 18.5% of the people who have been vaccinated at the county’s USS Juneau Memorial Center in South Kearny. Black residents make up just under 15% of the county population, but represent less than 3% of those vaccinated there.
