TOP representatives and tenants traveled to Austin to protest outside Achieve’s office and visit Kandasamy’s house, where they left fake eviction notices and invoices taped to his garage and in his yard.and packed into the lobby of City Hall demanding an appointment. Nirenberg has since met with tenants, a spokesperson said.
If the problems persist, the apartment receives a final fail notice and Opportunity Home gives residents vouchers to find new housing, the spokesperson said. The agency continues paying landlords unless the apartment has failed. After buying Seven Oaks, Achieve spent about two months putting together a plan to rehabilitate it. Strother said he realized there had been a “communications gap” between tenants and the property owner regarding maintenance problems.
