NOTE Confidence: 0.8738245 00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:12.182 Since our first story NOTE Confidence: 0.8738245 00:00:12.182 --> 00:00:13.772 aired on this in December.

NOTE Confidence: 0.85013723 00:00:41.730 --> 00:00:43.080 At one point the ceiling NOTE Confidence: 0.85013723 00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:44.610 caved in so they cut it NOTE Confidence: 0.85013723 00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:46.698 open, 'cause I told him it needs to NOTE Confidence: 0.85013723 00:00:46.698 --> 00:00:48.520 be fixed, but they never came back NOTE Confidence: 0.85013723 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.408 to fix it.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:23.045 But previously she said they NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:23.045 --> 00:01:24.337 recently purchased the property NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:24.337 --> 00:01:25.976 and it's in need of upgrades. NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:27.490 So they stopped renewing leases. NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:27.490 --> 00:01:29.050 The evictions that followed are NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:29.050 --> 00:01:30.298 completely legal and increasingly NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:30.298 --> 00:01:31.270 common in Louisville. NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:31.270 --> 00:01:33.041 A lot of residents were able to NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:33.041 --> 00:01:34.629 get out before being evicted, NOTE Confidence: 0.88054997 00:01:34.630 --> 00:01:36.030 but the legal process for NOTE Confidence: 0.8546647 00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:36.834 others creates challenges, NOTE Confidence: 0.8546647 00:01:36.834 --> 00:01:38.710 says you know it goes on our NOTE Confidence: 0.8546647 00:01:38.768 --> 00:01:40.230 record.

She's moving back in NOTE Confidence: 0.84417844 00:01:56.130 --> 00:01:57.840 with her mom until she can NOTE Confidence: 0.84417844 00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:58.695 find something better. NOTE Confidence: 0.84417844 00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:00.095 And residents here remind renters NOTE Confidence: 0.84417844 00:02:00.095 --> 00:02:01.833 to talk with people living in NOTE Confidence: 0.84417844 00:02:01.833 --> 00:02:02.989 the buildings you're looking NOTE Confidence: 0.84417844 00:02:02.990 --> 00:02:04.985 at before you move in in Louisville.
