Complex terminates leases from flood damage

Time is running out for nearly 100 families to pack up and leave their homes. It's coming after last week's historic floods. Tenants were only given two days to get out before they terminated their leases. Esther Bauer live now at the Wendover Complex in Melbourne. Esther, many people still have no idea where they're going to sleep tonight. Is that right? Yeah, and folks still moving out and all of us know moving out is extremely stressful as is. But imagine being given 24 to 48 hours to make that happen. That's the reality for nearly 100 families at this complex. They're gonna be sleeping in the yard, sleeping in a truck or sheltering on the streets? We don't have a place to stay. 90 households told to get out of this complex off Eber Boulevard by Friday because their leases are being terminated. Made me sick to my stomach knowing that I saved up so much money to move in, you know, my place I call home and I have to go within 48 hours. This new mom already lost all of her baby supplies in the flood and help is hard to come by. FEMA was asking me, like, what's the name of this storm? What are you talking about? It's like, to them, they don't know that nothing happened. FEMA. It hasn't been authorized yet, and this senior doesn't understand why. We should get help. It might not be a hurricane, but it is a disaster. The apartment complex says it's terminating leases because of flooding damage. This is an emergency relocation, not an eviction. Comprehensive remediation of the affected units is underway and is expected to take approximately six months to complete. People here say two days wasn't enough time for them to figure out where they'll go next. And we did just learn the City of Melbourne and the Red Cross were able to get a shelter open for these people. So anyone impacted can head over to the Joseph Buggs Community Center if they're still looking for a place to live. Reporting live in Melbourne, Esther Bauer, Fox 35 News.
