In May, Cavalier Crossing residents received a notice that the complex had been sold, and would undergo significant renovations. The plan, the notice said, was to turn the place into buildings with “luxury 2- & 3-bedroom units.”
Shortly after receiving the notice, the company began informing residents that it would not renew their leases.
Charlottesville Tomorrow spoke with multiple residents who will lose their homes. Some had to be out July 31. Others have until the winter, or next year.
It’s essentially a rolling mass displacement, said Elizabeth Stark, a tenant advocate with the Charlottesville chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
