Low-income tenants from four low-income housing buildings rallied Friday against rising rents and alleged inhumane living conditions, saying they are unable to afford affordable housing.
This year, tenants have received notice of a rise of 12% on average with the highest increase being 17% or $310 per month in Regency Square, which will take effect from August.
"There was a 3-foot hole in my ceiling and I could see straight through the sky," said Bertha Espinosa, a tenant at Orchard Glen for 11 years."I reported the issue to the management and they didn't fix it for a week. We pay 80% of our income in rent, we deserve better conditions." The tenants said they will not stop their campaign until the owners come to the negotiating table and speak with them.Roll back the rent to June 2022 levels across all complexes.
