In Portland, tenants at Wimbledon Square and Gardens are bringing attention to poor living conditions and the management's failure to address their complaints. The union representing the residents has highlighted issues like mold, pests, and high utility bills, and is pushing for a halt on evictions and rent hikes until necessary repairs are made. With many residents relying on housing vouchers, the union asserts that Prime Residential disproportionately targets low-income tenants and offers unsafe living conditions, putting pressure on vulnerable tenants who face eviction threats despite having financial support.
We are demanding an immediate moratorium on evictions and rent increases to address these systemic failures until habitability, safety, and contractual violations have been fully resolved.
Wimbledon Square & Gardens is one of the few complexes in Portland where tenants with housing vouchers can secure a unit.
But Prime Management weaponizes this system by forcing tenants to accept broken, unsafe apartments by leveraging the strict voucher time limits.
They are being hit with late fees even though they are covered with a housing voucher, and being repeatedly threatened with eviction.
