Owner of a Mesquite apartment complex being sued by the city has filed for bankruptcy.
City’s litigation against Hillcrest Apartments can’t move forward until the landlord’s bankruptcy case is resolved, Dallas County court says.
On Tuesday, court records showed the city’s case against the landlord was inactive; a court coordinator confirmed on Thursday that the bankruptcy case stays all other proceedings until it is resolved. “Given the difficulties of obtaining a fair property improvement and repair agreement and further issues surrounding financing to facilitate property improvements, the LLC felt it had no choice but to protect and preserve its asset by filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection to provide a path forward that includes continuing to address the concerns of the residents,” a statement from the owner’s lawyer, Joyce W. Lindauer, said.
“The filing of the bankruptcy does not impact the City’s commitment to ensuring repairs and maintenance continue at Hillcrest Apartments,” Keheley said in a statement. “We will continue to hold the owner accountable for ongoing neglect of this property.”the city’s suit in June, fear this means more delays in repairs and little resolution.
