Peterborough has upheld its order that all 25 tenants of the Walden Eco Village must evacuate by Wednesday.
The ruling came despite appeals from tenants, community members, and an ultimately failed attempt at a temporary fix by the landlord, Akhil Garland, who represents the owning entity the Garland Family Realty Trust.
The Walden Eco Village was founded about 12 years ago, residents say, and is comprised of a series of cottages and casitas, or 140 square foot tiny houses, around a village green. Some residents live in cottages equipped with bathrooms and kitchens, and others in smaller rentals use a community building for kitchen, bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities. Tenants pay between $445 and $1,400 a month depending on a rental’s size and amenities.
