LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â In anticipation of the looming deadline on the eviction moratorium, several Lexington organizations hosted a landlord forum on Tuesday.
The event was hosted and organized by the Catholic Action Center, Greater Lexington Apartment Association, Downtown Landlord Association, and Central KY Housing and Homeless Initiative.
Landlord Ron Johnson was one of the more than 50 people in attendance. He says the past year has been tough. Frustrating and I feel that nobody s listening, said Johnson.
He says out of the 70 units he has in Lexington, 58 aren t paying, which has so far set him back around $500,000.
