Hello,
My name is ____________, I am _____ years old, and live at Woodspring apartments in Tigard, Oregon.
I live in affordable housing and cannot even afford yearly 5% rent increases. Social security and wages can't keep up.
[Optional: Include a few sentences about your own situation -- otherwise delete this line.]
No other business needs to raise prices by 5%+ every year to stay afloat. I have already made many sacrifices to keep up with these rent increases, but will not be able to absorb another. We are in a housing and homelessness crisis, to keep people housed we must keep the rent increases reasonable. Our current law allowing 7% + inflation (14.6% this year!) is not just unreasonable, it is inhumane and would make me homeless.
Thank you for your service and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Name
