Jana (in photo she shared with us) says she will have to sleep outside tonight and upcoming nights after the Lakemill Lodge where she used to stay was abruptly closed down last week due to safety hazards and she ran out of money.
She used to stay in room 421 and says she hasn’t “received any communications or information about what to do or where to go.”
She says she isn’t get paid until Tuesday night. She has been applying for new jobs but in her current condition she says it’s very difficult.
“How am I gonna get there you know and how am I gonna be able to dress appropriate for the position? If I can’t even access my stuff inside my unit at the Lake now, things are getting really frustrating right now,” she wrote to Our Town Reno.
Jana can be reached on 916-269-9304 but says her phone is only running on wifi. Her email is mscwjlb2018@gmail.com
After being put up for a few days at the Travelodge owned by the same people who own the Lakemill with her remaining rent, she then stayed a few nights at a local America’s Best. Most people staying at Lakemill were paying about $200 a week, much less than what most other motels cost.
She sent us a video of inside her Lakemill room from just a few weeks ago, cramped with possessions and full of scratchers for several of her beloved cats. The business license of the Lakemill has since been suspended, with no indication of when it might reopen.
“I went back to Lakemill to get an update when I was told that if I do not forfeit my tenancy and sign this paper that I would not be receiving my deposit or gain access to my unit,” she writes of trying to get her possessions back. Several former tenants are considering joining a lawsuit.
“I am at a serious loss for what to do. If anybody has ideas, please contact me back with resources or information available I would be truly, truly grateful,” she concluded.
