ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The management company for the Orange County apartment complex that was evacuated last week for structural issues has told residents that they will be sharing information on lease terminations.
Residents at The Rialto apartments in Dr. Phillips received a letter from the management company on Wednesday, telling them that engineers investigating the building’s structural issues said they needed more time to finish their work.

“We recognize that this extended timeline and the uncertainty are both challenging and unsustainable for you,” the letter said.
The company said it would share information on lease terminations and how to help residents find a new home.
They were also working on a plan to help residents get their belongings out of their apartments.

One week ago, Orange County fire crews were called to The Rialto on Sand Lake Road because residents heard cracking and popping noises, and the people in at least one apartment could not get their door to open.
The apartment building, which opened in 2014, was evacuated, and the businesses on the first floor of the building were also closed. No word on what will happen to those businesses.
