After weeks away in Savannah, Vienna Ellzey and her husband came home to Cumming on July 19 with a laundry list of things to do, including checking up on a rental property they own on Brooks Farm Drive. Pulling up to the small two-bedroom house, both were surprised to discover two large RVs parked along the driveway of what should have been an empty, unoccupied home the Ellzey’s were preparing to sell. “And we just went up and knocked on the door,” Ellzey said. “They told us that they had rented it with the option to buy, and we knew that wasn’t true because we own the property.”
