A Danville extended-stay hotel is shutting down

The Park Avenue Motel in Danville is shutting down. Owner Ken Weaver ran the business for years with his mother and brother, and Eyewitness News spoke with a tenant who wants his security deposit back. Eyewitness News confirmed Weaver has taken no court action to have the residents evicted — something state law says he must do. State code says a person who wants to remove a tenant can do so through the county’s magistrate or circuit court and a tenant has the right to contest. Weaver left a note on the door of each apartment saying that power, water and sewer will be disconnected within the next few days and the premises needed to be vacated immediately. A state law passed in 2011 requires landlords to return damage deposits in full or send a written notice itemizing any alleged damages within 60 days of the move.
