Kissimmee, Florida (AP) — A motel resident along a tourist attraction not far from Walt Disney World, used as the setting for the 2017 movie The Florida Project, is said to need to move out. I did. Sudden notice as the complex was sold to another owner.
Residents of Magic Castle Inn&The suite was reportedly purchased last Monday by a hotel and new owners have been evacuated, local media reported. Since Magic Castle was a motel, new owners do not have to follow the same move-out procedures that landlords remove tenants from rental apartments.
"Now I have to find a house and a job," Heather Squires, who worked at the motel and paid for the room, told Orlando Sentinel. "It's hard to throw it away to someone within 24 hours."
The lavender-painted hotel looks through the eyes of a young girl and recovers from poverty at the weekly motel, which was her last home. A resort for people who couldn't afford to live anywhere else, which was the setting for a movie that told the story of power.
Before the closure, about 15 people lived in the hotel, said David Sarfati, who owned the hotel with his wife before the sale.
Residents said they were not given a warning about the pending closure of the motel, even if the owner had endorsed them in the past.
"There are no warnings or severance pay," said Thomas Delgado, who lived and worked at the motel. "But this is your final salary and vacation salary. Goodbye."'
Surfati said he was also surprised at the speed at which the new owners moved. He expects it to take months to prepare for the transition, and said he was unaware that the new owner wanted a resident until a trash can appeared at the motel on Monday.
“When the trash can appeared, I knew something was wrong,” Sarfati says.
According to the Corcoran Premier Realty list, the property was contracted for $ 5.5 million, but the certificate had not yet cleared the Osceola County property record.
