In response to rising rents at Everett Station Lofts, Portland City Councilors Mitch Green and Candace Avalos are proposing a rent subsidy to assist tenants. This comes after significant public outcry and ongoing tenant lawsuits regarding a unique rental agreement that allows pricing based on square footage instead of bedroom count. Although regulatory decisions have affirmed this agreement's legality, tenants remain frustrated with high rents. Green and Avalos aim to amend next year's budget to alleviate this burden, yet residents express disappointment over the necessity of such measures.
It shouldn't be this way; we shouldn't have to take it all the way to the fucking City Council and try to get it in a budget.
This budget add would make those tenants whole, helping alleviate the rent burden that many have faced due to ambiguous regulatory decisions.
