Monroe tenants could be forced out for a second time after a burst pipe flooded their apartments .
The burst pipe happened on January 15 in both Buildings D and C at the River’s Edge Apartment complex.
The landlords, Indigo Real Estate, put the tenants up in a Best Western nearby, but that stay ends Friday at 10 a.m. Tenants told KIRO 7 they didn’t find out until Tuesday.
“We had 15-minute meetings yesterday,” explained Nicole.
She lives at River’s Edge and talked with KIRO 7 the day after the pipes ruptured.
“We were basically notified 48 hours before we are supposed to leave here with really no resources of where we’re supposed to go or what we’re supposed to do,” she said.
That was the frustration felt by over a dozen people in the Monroe Best Western conference room.
The hotel is full for the upcoming weekend and told residents they can’t stay Friday through Sunday, but they could come back Sunday when rooms open up again.
Tenants said the landlords already told them they wouldn’t pay after check-out Friday.
