Lexington man, 73, says eviction notice gives him about 45 days to leave Aylesford apartment

A 73-year-old Lexington man said he received an eviction notice Wednesday and was told he has just over 40 days, about 45 days, to vacate his apartment in the Aylesford neighborhood.

In an interview tied to the notice, the man said, “I’m not dead yet,” underscoring his concern that he is being forced out on a tight timeline. He described the notice as the latest development in a pattern of events that he and neighbors say has intensified pressure from developers in the area.

Neighbors who spoke with reporters said they have seen repeated efforts that affect long-term residents in Aylesford, describing a neighborhood that is changing while some occupants face uncertainty about where they will go next. Several residents characterized the situation as part of a continuing process rather than an isolated dispute.

The report described the eviction notice as a new step in a matter that has already drawn attention locally. While the man’s immediate dispute is focused on his unit and the date he must leave, the broader concern raised by residents is the cumulative impact on families and older adults living near development sites.

For the man, the practical effect of the notice is the loss of housing by a specified deadline. He said he is trying to understand what his options are as the timeline shortens. The notice also raises questions about what process was followed and how remaining steps in the matter will be handled as the vacate date approaches.

Kentucky eviction processes generally proceed through legally required steps, and occupants typically have rights and deadlines tied to those procedures. In this case, the timeline described in the report indicates that residents may need to act quickly to request information, pursue any available review processes, or coordinate alternative housing arrangements.

The next developments depend on how the case moves forward in the local court system or landlord-tenant process, including any filings that may follow the Wednesday notice and whether additional hearings or deadlines are set for the resident and the property owner or representatives.
