The Juneau City and Borough Assembly addressed a significant legal issue during their recent meeting, focusing on the rental agreements for residents of Telephone Hill. City Attorney updates revealed that at least one resident did not receive proper notice regarding the termination of their rental agreement, raising concerns about the actions of the property management company, JPR Management.
During the executive session, it was confirmed that while emails were sent on May 28 and August 17, and notices were posted, there was no legal proof of service documented. This oversight has prompted the city to take immediate action. New notices to vacate will be issued to tenants, who are now required to move out by November 1. The city also indicated that they would seek compensation for any damages incurred.
This situation highlights the importance of proper communication and documentation in rental agreements, ensuring that residents are fully informed of their rights and obligations. The Assembly's swift response aims to rectify the oversight and uphold the integrity of the rental process in the community.
