Living here is becoming impossible on a student budget. Please reconsider these hikes.
How are we supposed to study when we cant even afford to sleep? This is crazy.
I am looking at moving out of state because I literally cannot make ends meet with these new rates. Disappointing.
Due to rent increases I could not renew the lease at my previous apartment in glastonbury. It was a 400 square foot studio with no closet. The rent was increased from $1150 per month to $1650 per month in May. It took me two months, to find a new place. I had to pay to have all my things put into store. I finally found a lease for July 23 in Middletown for $1350 per month. It is more than I want to pay but it was the only thing available within a 30 minute drive from Farmington in a safe community for less than 1400 a month.
As an MD/PhD student at UConn, this attempt to price gouge by the new landlords is completely unfair. Please help students!
This is outrageous & unfair!
The rent increase is exorbitant and untimely without benefit.
