HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — (Eds. note: The attached video is from July 27, 2023.)
A Garland County judge extended an order that halts an apartment complex from removing air conditioning units from tenants' homes.
In July, residents at the Greenbriar apartment complex in Hot Springs expressed their frustrations about paying for an air conditioning unit, something that's enforced by management and the owner of the complex.
Tenants said the apartment complex would take them away if they couldn't afford to pay for the air conditioning unit.
A temporary order stopping them from doing that was issued last week and was initially set to expire on Aug. 7.
Arkansas community organizations, which has been working with Arkansas Renters United to help the tenants at Greenbriar, told us the judge decided to keep the order in place until further notice.
