Foreclosed 600 Unit Houston Apartment Complex Leaves Tenants Outraged, In Limbo

In Houston, Texas, FOX 26 reports:

  • A foreclosure on the property of a north Houston apartment complex is leaving its residents in limbo. Residents say they had heard rumors of problems plaguing La Casita Apartments, rumors that appeared to be confirmed when they saw employees at the management office packing up their files and moving out. [...] Officials said the property's lienholder is working to place an interim management team, and Mayor Bill White's office will try to expedite the process so the residents of the 600-unit complex can remain in their homes.
