MEMPHIS, TN (The Commercial Appeal) — An artist and his family were ordered Tuesday to clear out of a Downtown condominium and pay a $102,000 judgment to owners of the Madison Hotel.
A judge ordered the eviction of Christopher Reyes from a second-floor Main Street condo where the artist has lived and worked for 25 years.
General Sessions Judge Lonnie Thompson sided with the Madison’s lawyer, who argued that Reyes and his mother, Vernice Kuglin, presented no evidence of an ownership interest in the building at 1 South Main.
Reyes and Kuglin’s lawyer argued that his clients had a right to possession of the condominium dating back to a 1993 agreement with developer Henry Turley Jr.
It was unclear whether Reyes, his partner, Sarah Fleming, and their two small children would have to immediately vacate the apartment. The judge said there was a 10-day appeal period.
