Tenants in low-income apartment complexes owned by KDF Communities in San Jose protested against rent increases and ignored maintenance requests on Friday.
Margarito Gomez and his family have lived in the same San Jose one-bedroom apartment for 17 years, struggling to afford their home amid frequent rent increases and infrequent maintenance fixes. On Friday, they joined about 50 protesters seeking attention for the conditions and costs of their low-income housing.
Gomez, 64, who is retired from construction work, lives in the apartment with his wife, a custodian, and two daughters, ages 21 and 8. The family already struggles to make rent, and in August will face a $92 monthly increase to $1,938, he said. Last year, the rent jumped by $138 monthly. Based in Newport Beach, California, KDF Communities, a developer focused on affordable housing, owns more than 15 properties in the Bay Area. Amanda Valderrama, regional supervisor at KDF’s property manager VPM Management, said the company has “been in communication with and continues working with the tenant associations in San Jose.”
