Dozens of families renting at the FPI Management run Canyon Crossing complex on Plump Jack Lane are being told they will have to move out soon, when their initial 13 to 14 months leases expire, before the end of the year for many, as the “builder of the property,” according to a notice they just received, decided to sell the homes they are currently living in.
Informational zoom calls are being held for tenants of the community which has more than 50 homes. One call is for Wednesday September 3rd at 5 p.m. and the other Saturday September 6th at 10 a.m.
The notice indicates that “if you are interested in the possibility of purchasing the home you’re currently renting, the Builder is offering several attractive options to support you,” including rate loan programs and down payment assistance.
Three to four bedroom rental homes there reportedly started at around $2795 per month.
Those already on month to month leases, who had moved in early in this new development, have even less time to move out, according to some of the renters now angry at the situation. One wrote they have less than a month to move.
Ads on the web are already offering the homes for sale with prospective buyers told to contact the builder D.R. Horton.
Renters have been suspecting they would be kicked out, after a prospective renter was told about the change over the phone, but only got the confirmation with the notice sent out this week.
“It’s really tough because most families here just moved in within the past year since the community only recently opened. Now they’re facing being displaced or struggling to find another home. That means more packing, more searching, and added costs that aren’t easy for anyone,” a concerned local wrote us about the situation.
One of the tenants being moved out is a family of eight. “This is especially difficult for large families who already face major challenges finding housing that can accommodate them,” the local wrote to us.
