AUSTIN, Texas — In a demonstration Tuesday inside the North Lamar Mobile Home Park, tenants and advocates for fair housing, showed some of the conditions the community has been living under.

  • No trash pickup for over a week
  • Issues with the placement of the dumpsters
  • No gas service for over a week

They say there’s been no trash pickup for over a week due to issues with the placement of the dumpsters.  Another issue they’re dealing with is there’s been no gas service for over a week forcing many people to cook outdoors using propane tanks.  

Many say they have not gotten any word on when that service may be operational again.

The bottom line for tenants: they want to be heard. One woman who’s lived there for 12 years says the community’s management makes her feel invisible.

We have reached out to the management company. Multiple calls have not yet been returned.
