Tenants at College Court Condominiums in Kentucky said they are pushing for protections after Simmons College of Kentucky moved ahead with plans to use some of the condominium property for student housing, setting off concerns among longtime residents about whether they will be able to stay in their homes.

According to residents who spoke with WLKY, the proposal has created uncertainty for families living in the complex, with some tenants arguing that the change would disrupt their housing stability and community ties. The residents said they want the decision-making process to include safeguards for current occupants.

Simmons College of Kentucky, which is planning the student housing use, framed the effort as part of its campus housing needs, according to the reporting. The residents’ concerns center on the practical impact of the plan on people who have lived at College Court for years, including the possibility of having to relocate if the property is converted or otherwise reorganized for student use.

The dispute highlights the tension that can arise when institutions expand housing capacity, especially when plans involve shared property interests in a condominium setting. Tenants say their priority is to protect their rights and maintain continuity for residents who consider College Court their long-term home.

In the meantime, tenants said they are looking for clear protections and procedures as Simmons advances its plans. The outcome will depend on what approvals are pursued, how any property changes are structured, and what legal and contractual protections apply to condominium owners or occupants under Kentucky law and the condominium’s governing framework.

The WLKY report was published August 24, 2026. If additional steps are taken in the process, residents are expected to seek further clarity on timelines and the exact scope of the student housing proposal, including which units or portions of the property would be affected.

Why It Matters

  • The decision affects housing stability for residents who have lived at College Court for years.
  • Because the property involves a condominium complex, how the student housing plan is structured could determine what rights and protections apply to current occupants.
  • The case underscores how campus expansion can create community disruptions when property use changes.
  • Future approvals and timelines will determine how quickly any affected residents would need to plan for relocation or other changes, if any occur.
