The manager of Lewisburg Square has told different tenants different things: some were told they have to leave Tuesday, the 25th, some the 31st, and others were told November 7th. But all of them were told they have to leave -- but no eviction order has been served, no inspection has been made of the properties -- it seems like simply another attempt by landlords to scare off low-rent paying tenants and use 'storm insurance' money to rebuild and put in high-priced condos instead. But Gretna received little to no storm damage!! And Lewisburg Square is in the same shape it was before the storm: dismal and neglected -- NOT because of the storm, but because of the negligent landlord.
