Residents Of Dallas' Elan City Lights Apartments Damaged By Crane Will Have To Be Permanently Relocated

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Tenants of Elan City Lights were notified by management Monday night they will "not be able to reoccupy" their apartments because the building is unstable and they will have to be permanently relocated.

The Elan City Lights manager told them the building has become "totally unusable for residential purposes and you will not be able to reoccupy your apartment."

Management said it will help each tenant find a new place to live and everyone will get their deposits back.

Here is the letter received by tenants:
