Alameda Family Faces $2000 Rent Increase
A family in the East Bay just learned their rent is about to go up by 133 percent: from $1,500 dollars a month to $3,500.
Surprisingly, the tenant says he’s willing to pay the $2,000 rent increase, he just wants the owner to spread out that increase over three years.
The owner is saying no.
The city of Alameda is siding with the tenant, but there’s not a whole lot the city can do.
It’s a modest three bedroom condo on Bay Farm Island in Alameda.
