Retirees Face Eviction from Enniscrone Homes

0:00On April 1st, six retiree households in the West Lago village of Ennis Crone face eviction from their independent living homes by June 5th. These spots are part of a 27-houset state around a nursing home, now owned by Athlon-based NASA BK holdings, which plans to sell the properties. Ownership changed earlier this year, with the nursing home going to ethos care and most houses to NASA. Notices went out last November amid a national wave of evictions before big rental law reforms hit in March, giving tenants more security, but seeing. 20,033 terminations last year, up 21 percent. Residents in their 50s to 80s describe a living nightmare, up-ended lives with nowhere to go. Rural rental options are scarce, and many need daily medical visits that took years to set up. Moving could reset that clock. Local counselor Joe Queenon says their stress to the limit, rents paid up, homes pristine. Politicians are pushing back hard. New Senator Nessa Cosgrove wants the housing minister to fund Slagel County Council to

Queenon notes possible overholding, where tenants stay past the date paying rent, as courts rarely force them out quick. Talks with the landlord continue in the coming weeks, holding out hope these folks can stay put in the homes they plan for their golden years.
