Tenants In Apartment Building In Foreclosure Face An Early Boot As Unpaid Bill Results In Water Shutoff

In Avondale, Ohio, WLWT-TV Channel 5 reports:

• One group of Avondale residents said the foreclosure crisis is hitting close to home -- and they don't even own their home. Several people living at the Glenwood Commons complex said Friday that they have been without running water for four days because of a $10,000 bill that's gone unpaid.

***

• [One tenant] is using his stove to stay warm. Others are buying water to drink and flush the toilet. The situation has gotten so bad that the health department declared the apartments unsanitary and said that if the water is not paid within a few days, an official order to vacate will be issued. That would leave the building's residents out on the street.

***

• The complex has about 70 units, but not all are occupied. Residents said the complex has been in foreclosure since October.
