Abilene, Texas — Dozens of residents at The Grand Buffalo Run apartments said they were blindsided after about 40 vehicles were towed with little warning on Nov. 2, leaving some tenants scrambling to get to work and paying hundreds of dollars to get their cars back.
The apartment complex is located on N. Judge Ely Blvd. Residents said they did not receive a notification until about 9:50 a.m. that morning through the apartment’s resident portal, giving them little time to move their vehicles before towing began. Some residents also alleged management later claimed advance notice had been provided.
Brandy, a resident, said the timing and method of notification wasn’t enough.
“There was no notice. Like the only notification that was sent out was an hour before I check my email every day, not every hour. And so I missed that,” Brandy said. “There was so many vehicles right here and many people were home like as my vehicle is getting towed, multiple residents were coming out to go to work and they couldn’t go to work.”…
