Rent Increase Meeting

Wednesday, 5-23-07, a meeting was held to discuss another request by corporate landlord(s) to raise rents again. Without seeing receipts, residents have no way of knowing the accuracy of those figures provided on the budget sheet. However inprecise their listed expenses may or may not be, the added figures listed in some columns don't appear to coincide.

Considering the high and long standing vacancy rate, lease violations, poor or unsafe living conditions, waste and abuse, false promises made for last year's granted rent increase, personal property damages, time and labor with other inconveniences suffered by residents, unfair housing according to fair housing laws, etc. , granting another rent increase would be unreasonable and unfair.

Not many residents attended the meeting on May 23, 2007. The notice incorrectly stated the management office is still located at 30 Martha Drive, instead of 52 Hannah Way.
