MIAMI — A Miami-Dade County program providing free legal services has exposed eviction notices that were given to roughly 100 residents living at the Palm Lakes Mobile Home Park weren’t legit.
The original eviction notices to vacate were set for July 22 but they were only filed on August 5.
Residents Arnoldo Morales and Delmi Ramirez said living at Palm Lakes is their only option because homes elsewhere in Miami-Dade County are unaffordable.
“What I get monthly from my social security is not enough to pay that kind of rent,” Morales said.
He told CBS News Miami he is disabled and his wife is bedridden. Ramirez is a stay-at-home mom who cares for a sick child.
“They come to me crying and ask me “Mommy where are we going to go? What are we going to do?'” Ramirez said.
These are just two testimonies but the property owners ordered dozens of residents to leave by the end of July, but they’re still here.
