On Wednesday, tenants in the apartment building on Hanwell Drive were receiving a letter from their landlord.
It tells them that authorities have deemed the building uninhabitable after the fire and as such they will be terminating their lease and refunding their damage deposit and half of September’s rent.
That basically means the residents are without a place to stay or call their own.
Residents are urged to contact an insurance agent if they have insurance or need to access the building.
