Entire apartment complex evacuated due to flood damage in Melbourne

At least 87 families were told to move out in Melbourne after historic flooding left their apartments unlivable.

Tenants at Windover Palms received hand-delivered notices on Thursday, telling them to leave. The letter says repairs can’t happen with people living inside and will take at least six months to finish.

Now, the city of Melbourne is working to set up shelters for displaced families.

Meanwhile, property owners say November’s rent and security deposits will be refunded to tenants.
