Sheryl Brown said she’s been told she needs to move out by the end of this month after Peak Property Group took ownership of the townhomes in January.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — It’s a problem that we’re hearing about more and more throughout the city of Columbus: new ownership takes over a rental property and forces the current tenants to vacate.
One of those tenants is Sheryl Brown, who has lived with her family on Griggsview Court for the past 18 years.Brown said she’s been told she needs to move out by the end of this month after Peak Property Group took ownership of the townhomes along Griggsview Court in January. But Brown said the tenants weren’t given that option and were told they’d have to reapply. Brown said she paid $1,245 a month in rent, and the new owners are raising prices to at least $1,850 a month."One of the tenants, their daughter started here in kindergarten and is graduating this year and they made them move out a month before graduation. And they asked, hey, could we just have a one-month extension so our daughter can finish the school year? And they refused,” Brown said.
As hard as it is to pick up and leave a place you call home, Brown said it's that much harder to leave a community as tightknit as this one.
