Guillermo Lemus and Ammon Taylor are among more than 50 tenants at Brigham’s Mill who were told their housing contracts were going to be cancelled, as the owner is planning to sell the units as condos.

REXBURG — Tenants at a Rexburg student apartment complex were surprised in late March to learn that the owners of their building wanted them to prepare to move out in April, at the close of the current semester.

Brigham’s Mill is an approved student housing complex for single men at Brigham Young University-Idaho. If the Rexburg City Council approves a request from the owners to change the plat at a meeting this Wednesday, the complex will, potentially, no longer house single students, and each unit will be available for sale as a condominium.

According to those who live there, more than 50 tenants have contracts that won’t end for a few more months, and some of them don’t want to move before their contracts are up.

Guillermo Lemus and Ammon Taylor have each lived at the complex for about three years, and intended to stay a while longer. Both have contracts until September. They and the other tenants with spring/summer contracts were notified by email and in an informal meeting with property managers on March 22 that the building’s owners were expecting them to prepare to find new housing and be out by April 8 — the day after the end of BYU-Idaho’s winter semester.

“It is with regret that we are sending out, at the request of the ownership of Brigham’s Mill, the following notification of the possibility of Brigham’s Mill not providing housing for the Spring 2022 Semester,” reads the March 22 email from Colleen Gibson, owner of Connextion Property Management, the company that manages the rental agreements.
