Roughly a dozen families living at a mobile home park in South Austin who received 60-day notices to leave will be able to stay for the time being after a Travis County judge issued a temporary restraining order Monday. | AKMcGlinchy
Residents of the Congress Mobile Home Park off South Congress Avenue were told this summer their leases would not be renewed and given 60 days to leave.
Texas RioGrande Legal Aid and the Austin Community Law Center sued the property owner on behalf of tenants still living at the park. She said she was able to find another place to park farther east, but she is now paying about $400 more a month in rent and fees. The commute to her job at Lowe’s has grown by about 20 minutes.
“Some of them are elderly; some of them are with children. Experiencing the hardship as it is, [they] have no means to move a mobile home. They don’t have a place to put it,” Muñoz said. “They would be in the streets.”
