Fire leaves tenant with nowhere to go

Fire damaged apartment is not safe for tenant

If you've ever been to the scene of a fire, you know the damage caused by the fire itself, as well as smoke, soot and water damage.

Typically, very little is left for the family to take with them. And what may be restorable must be properly cleaned before sending to a new family home.

This apartment fire was no different than many we see. Except the occupant was an elderly lady, with no family close by and no available units for her to relocate to.

The property manager contacted another (unrelated) complex to see if they could assist.

And they did. They offered an apartment free of charge for three months. The current property manager offered to take care of the restoration of her property. And the onsite handyman helped her gather a few essentials and drove her to her new home.

We are so proud to be a part of a community that cares, and is here to help their neighbors.
