Gwinnett County Families in Tent for Another Night

A pair of Gwinnett County families are spending their second night in tents as opposed to their storm-damaged home.

City officials deemed the Sugar Hill property unsafe this week following storms two months ago and ordered them to leave.

The families sharing the damaged home, a mother, daughter, mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law,
blame the landlord for not fixing the damage.

In April, storms sent trees crashing, punching holes in the roof. The landlord has reportedly still failed on her promise to make repairs.

The families are living in tents as they don't have the funds to move and they fear their belongings will be stolen if they go to a shelter.
