Detroit residents at Leland House are facing an urgent deadline as they have been notified to vacate their apartments by Wednesday due to a looming utility shutoff. The distressing notice stems from $43,000 in unpaid utility bills owed to DTE Energy, raising concerns about the living conditions in the downtown building.
The situation escalated when the building’s owner filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this month. While financing has reportedly been secured to address the debts, residents are now grappling with uncertainty, as it remains unclear if the necessary funds will arrive in time to avert a disruption in utility services.
For many residents, the prospect of having to leave their homes abruptly adds to an already challenging living environment. Some residents expressed frustration and fear about the future, as they scramble to find alternative housing options on short notice. “We don’t know where to go or what to do,” said one tenant, who requested to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the situation.
The notice to vacate marks a critical moment for the residents of Leland House, who have relied on the building’s services for their everyday needs. Local advocates and community leaders are becoming increasingly vocal, calling for a plan to support those affected and urging the building’s management to find solutions that prioritize residents’ stability.
As Wednesday approaches, it remains to be seen whether the financial transactions will clear in time to prevent the utility shutoff and avert the mass displacement of tenants from Leland House.
