The administration has officially canceled the planned rent hikes for our community. This reversal confirms that our collective presence in the housing office carried the weight we hoped it would. I am grateful to the 132 households who trusted this process and remained firm in advocating for our shared stability.

The stories you have shared regarding the rent increases reflect the heavy burden many families are carrying right now. I am compiling these accounts into a formal document to present to the housing administration. Your willingness to include your unit numbers provides the necessary weight to prove that these financial changes are unsustainable.

Reaching this level of participation shows how deeply the rising costs of housing are affecting our community. It is clear that the burden placed on families here is reaching a breaking point that requires urgent attention.

Unit 108. Enough is enough. Keep the rent where it is.
unit 305. seriously? the quality of these units hasn't gone up one bit. stop trying to squeeze us for more money we dont have.
unit 512. my husband is working two jobs just so we can pay tuition and now this. please reconsider!
unit 402. this is insane. how are we supposed to afford school and a rent hike at the same time? we are students not millionaires.
Ridiculous. We came here because it was supposed to be affordable for families. My unit is 12b and this is just gonna force us to move out.

Unit 210. This is just plain greedy. They know we have nowhere else to go right now.
