Residents at Sunset Plaza said they aren't asking for much.

Saulo Soriao-Brito chose Sunset Plaza because it is right next to the V.A. Hospital, but life for the Vietnam veteran has been disrupted by a letter.

"I don't know what I am going to do. That is what worries me. What am I going to do what am I going to do?" he said.

The letter is from the new property managers. It gives residents 30 days to get out.
