Have you ever rented an apartment that seemed expensive, and wondered what the people who lived there before you were paying?
Advocates on Prince Edward Island think you have a right to know.
In mid-February, My Old Apartment sent out its first card to a tenant who didn’t realize their landlord had increased their rent by an illegal amount. The tenant, who was paying $1,500 a month in rent, received a card that read: “Welcome to my old apartment. Are you paying too much rent? When I moved out on 09/17, the rent was $1,200 a month.” Inside was information about how to file the paperwork to try to get their money back.
