My name is Sophie Hosei and I have been attending Indiana University as an undergrad student. I have chronic orthopedic health issues that have caused me to withdraw from school. My last surgery was a donor knee graft transplant on 7/7/26 and after 6 weeks of bed rest, the surgery was not successful and requires more operations. I have another surgery now scheduled for this Friday, 10/30/26, where I will be temporarily disabled for at least another 8 weeks. I signed a year lease with Town Manor at 314 E Smith Ave, Bloomington, IN. 47401 and have asked to be released from the lease due to this ongoing medical disability. The house is not ADA compliant and post surgery, I will be limited to the bed, then wheelchair, and then crutches for several weeks. My future state is mobility is completely unknown. Aaron Vaughn, property manager said we can only sublet the room and although we have attempted to do so, we have been unsuccessful. This is mostly due to the room not really being a typical room set up. It is a loft, where you can only go up via a narrow spindle staircase. There is no door (its just an open room) or closet and you can’t fully stand up because it’s a low ceiling heigh. No one wants to rent it. I am hoping someone can help me get released from the lease completely, while not affecting the other 3 roommates who are on the lease as well. Thank you in advance.

Steel plate over man-hole drain has been dislodged and is a hazard to pedestrians using that sidewalk. There are actually two steel plates in the same area. Too heavy for me to lift and fix.

There is a white car parked here that was towed in. It does not run and has a flat tire. The wrecker backed it in. It needs to be moved as I'm disabled and my home health people can't park there. Because of this I have to walk thru snow to get to a vehicle. Please move it.
