Flooding forced tenants out. They want more help from their landlord, and Kansas City Allison Kite and Cortlynn Stark, The Kansas City Star
Mar. 8 Jarrod McDaniel was in bed late at night last month when the fire alarm sounded at his downtown apartment building. When he got downstairs, he said, the lobby was flooded.
A pipe had burst, cutting off power to the Professional Building Lofts at 11th Street and Grand Boulevard and forcing tenants out. Their landlord put them up at a nearby hotel.
But now, McDaniel, a special education teacher, and his neighbors are scrambling to get their belongings out of the building. Many of their leases have been terminated. And the building won t be habitable until May.
