PiscesShould a 6-Year-Old Be Evicted?
A 6-year-old is about to be evicted from her home for being 49 years too young.
Six-year-old Kimberly Broffman has a big problem for such a little girl. The retirement community she lives in with her grandparents, Judie and Jimmy Stottler, has strict rules that all residents must be over 55. Now she has been asked to leave by the Lakes Homeowners Association. Kimberly, who has lived there since she was 6 months old, wouldn't be living with her grandparents in the first place if her mother wasn't in rehab and lost custody of the little girl four years ago. Although her grandparents are desperately trying to sell the condo and move, no one is buying. If the threesome do end up getting evicted, the little girl will be put into foster care until her grandparents can find suitable housing.

I’m surprised that it took so long to decide she had to move. How did they get her approved to live there in the first place? I’m shocked that she was legally placed with her grandparents knowing the type of community in which they lived.
While I feel badly that she has to move, I can understand the feelings of the board…they must have known this was coming…
Perhaps the board could be part of the decision-making process to sell, i.e., make sure the grandparents aren’t turning down good, reasonable offers on the condo, and let everyone live there until then? I think that would be a good compromise for all involved, and I’m sure there’s some lawyers who would love to write up that paperwork. Otherwise - have a heart, folks. Sheesh.
Rules are rules but….
The board should buy the grandparents out, resell the apartment. Sitting by and watching a child sent to foster care is Wrong.
I actually had my Aunt who is an attorney read this and she said that depending on the state they live in. The housing association may not be able to enforce this if they let her live there for more than 90 days. Aside from that though, they are trying to sell there condo. More than a-lot of people would do for their grandchild. The housing association needs to either buy it from them or let them live there until they sell.
Ok… She has been living in there home now for 6 years… They have no law to evicte… Even in our worse of worse… Texas has a law your a resedent for more then 7 years you are a texan. And the law is to keep children win there homes with there familys and off the streets. Go the gov is taking back and eating there words now! Sounds just like them. I feel for this family! And they own there own condo.. so they have owners laws… and In EVERY states, it states you CAN NOT evicte children out of homes!
So I just know not to retire and move to where they live!
This is no surprise. It’s in the deed restrictions for these types of communities. It stinks, but that’s the way it works. They’re trying to sell and that’s important, but surely there is some way to avoid foster care while trying to sell.
