Property Owner Clashes With Tenants Over Rent Control

With significant renovation comes a rent increase, one that Rajewski believes will bring the housing development closer to fair market rent and to livable conditions.

For tenant Bill Johnson, it rose from $1,500 to $2,000 per month, which is more than the new state rent control law allows as of this year.

“I’m on social security disability, the only income I have is that. I have no credit, I can’t even rent a dog house,”  Johnson said. “I’m on social security disability, the only income I have is that. I have no credit, I can’t even rent a dog house,”  Johnson said.
