A Charlotte-area investment firm says it is offering renters an affordable chance to become owners. Housing advocates say it shifts upkeep costs of "decrepit" single-wide homes to residents.
So many advocates in the city of Brevard but none for the tenants on Tuckaway Lane? No one to advise them of their tenant rights? No one previously interested in the legal remedies the tenants had to address past and current landlord failures under NC statutes?
Violations mentioned in this article that the landlord is responsible for…
“Maintain in good and safe working order and promptly repair all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and other facilities and appliances supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord provided that notification of needed repairs is made to the landlord in writing by the tenant, except in emergency situations.” And that’s just for starters.
Did tenants supply in writing to landlord (past and present) the need for repairs? An advocate could have guided them.
Sounds like any action is too late now as leases in force are month to month, the option to buy is probably unattainable for the tenants, and they will have to vacate or be evicted.
$1,000,000 paid for this 5+ acre property that will perhaps be developed but not for the current tenant’s residency.
This isn’t the county….btw…this is the city of Brevard….who will now have quite a few more homeless folks who won’t be able to find affordable housing. Another example of the city’s failure to be supportive of ALL residents in the city limits.
Just wait til the folks who own their homes learn about the city’s 2030 plan for their neighborhoods.
Oh boy! Maybe then we’ll hear about advocacy. Can’t challenge this city hall….can’t work with them either unless you follow in lock step with their plans this city council and their bureaucrat associates won’t give you a nod.
Great comments below, but the like button doesnt work. I agree, city council certainly isnt leading brevard into being a long term liveable community. Nothing for young people. They're forced to move away. And old people waiting for the inevitable, profiting corporations with their SS money.
FG Communities should be court ordered to bring the units up to code, repair all leaks, and infrastructure wiring and plumbing issues before they force the tenants to move or purchase.
