Bailey reached out to talk to someone about the change.
“I been trying. My lease was up in March and I been trying for three months before that to get a hold of someone,” She said. “To say ‘hey whats my rent, what will it go to?’ So I can get an idea if I need to move or something because I was very worried.”
News Center 7 called, emailed, and stopped by the apartments to learn more but were unable to contact the apartment management.
The apartment’s new owners were not at the Tuesday afternoon’s public discussion.
However, an attorney answered questions and reviewed leases.
Bailey said the legal aid was helpful because she wants to speak up about the rent hike.
“Find out what our rights are, or what they can be,” Bailey said.
The owners of Fairborn Senior Apartments have not responded to News Center 7’s questions at the time of reporting.
