Landlord decides Christian group too big for house

Austin American-Statesman/1995-07-27

The Family, a Christian missionary group that lost five members in a major collision near McKinney Falls State Park on July 16, will not be able to rent a house in Round Rock because the would-be landlord changed his mind about the arrangement.

Landlord Cyril McInnis said Wednesday there had been a misunderstanding that left him unaware that the group would have 17 people living in the single-family house. He said he was afraid the high occupancy would violate the fire code.

Thomas Oehler, a member of the Family, said he is still looking for a new home for the group in Austin.
