    the way affordable housing works is that there is a range limit for incomes. lets say the range limit for this building is $15,000 to $49,999. for this lady. than as long as her income is in the range as stated then her rent should be no higher then $875 no higher or less. now if her income goes above the income range stated by a certain amount. then she no longer is allowed due to her income being too high. but if her income drops too low then so would face the same problem too. due to her no longer meeting the lowest income range for her family. the fact that her rent keeps going up when she is not only in the income range limits. but her income keeps going down tells me that the affordable housing owners are doing not only funny business to her and her family. but also to everyone else. which now makes a audit mandatory.

    Denied lease renewal. Meaning regardless of the reason, the apartment complex chose not to renew her lease. They had every right to evict legally, the lease up. I don't think rent should have increased the way it was. I don't think citing her protest was a fair reason to evict but just like a tenant has an option not to renew a leasing agreement once expired, the landlord/business has that same right.

    It is the insurance that is needed for the property that is forcing these increases and not greed from the land lord.

      Exactly, but many people don't see that. My 1000 sq ft home insurance will go up to $7,000 in November, which means that I have to come up with the money to pay the extra amount or sell but if I sell where do I go? In addition, I have to cover the costs of maintenance and repairs. If my home was rented I would have to increase the rent to the tenants to cover the costs who will then accuse me of gouging, being greedy or unfair when that is not the case.

      Sure but unfortunately most landlords are giant corporations who only care about profit for the owners of hedge funds and getting a quick return on investment. I don't understand why regular people are constantly standing up for corporations when we're all suffering because of those same corporations who bought our government instead of paying employees fair wages. It's not inflation when these companies are making record profits from making it so damn expensive to be poor.

If you have the time to be an activist, you have the time to work more hours at an extra job. Is she deliberately under employing herself to continue to qualify? Feigning permanent disability? Did her kids age out so she no longer qualifies for the 3 bedroom? Does she think once-in-affordable-housing means always-in-affordable-housing?

      She has a job. She is working and making $16 an hour. She was speaking out for affordable housing for seniors to stay affordable. Her rent was that amount because it was based on her income. 40% of her income was the $1024. So the increase to $1600 wasn’t 40% of her income, it was 65% of her income and that’s not allowed. That’s why the judge said she had overpaid. builders get subsidies from the city/government to build the complex by saying they will allocate certain amount of units to lower income units. Then after a couple of years they will try to get those tenants out even though they signed contracts with the city. The Term Lower income has become villainized these days when it shouldn’t be. Working a $16 an hour job was considered decent money 10-15 years ago but now it’s considered low income. It’s considered low income now to work a $30,000 a year job.

How old are her children which may not be underage and not count as dependents now. We don't know what 'family' lives with her per this segment. For her income and dependents, if any, her additional costs may be for excessive housing for just she, herself. She may only qualify for a 1 bedroom now. Not enough information here.

      @@UncleDavesKitchen You are right, rent increases do happen in subsidized housing but they are countered against the original contract which is 40% of your income. Everything has gone up in price but the wages are stagnant. In this post pandemic Economy and working environment it would hard to improve your income unless you are working two jobs. She has a job making $16 an hour which is $31,720 a year. A teacher, a college graduate, with a Masters degree, base pay is $42,000 a year. Which breaks down to $21.87 a hour. 40% of that would still only be $1,400 and that is still less that the over $1600 the apartment complex was trying to charge this woman and no one would tell a teacher that they need to work to improve their income. The lack of affordable housing is a crisis happening all over the country right now and is affecting many hardworking people. People just starting out, Teachers, officers, firemen, Healtcare workers, retirees and vets.

    $1250 a month is pretty good.
    Increases to $1,00 a month, still a pretty good deal for Orlando
    Seems like she spends a lot of time complaining and protesting, and absolutely no time trying to increase her income.
    Congratulations! You are a ward of the state.

      No sir you are of course wrong and apparently did not listen to the journalist ( a pattern for you?) . The city affordable housing program is income based, there is a scale of rent charged aligned with what is the tenant's monthly/annual income. Ms. King not only paid her rent faithfully on time but had over paid her rent. The Property Managers were illegally raising her rent to a monthly cost not aligned with her income. Follow closely now they (property managers) were breaking the rules/regulations as set forth by the City of Orlando's Affordable Housing Program. I hope you can understand all this but I have my concerns.

      @@algernon5776 you should be more concerned that your experimental brain surgery did not take. (Other than that I actually love your username)
      You interchange the words illegal and breaking regulations. Get it straight.
      $1,600 a month rent for a family is very good in this area.
      The tenant has a moral responsibility to improve the position of herself and her family so that they never have to rely on the government for their well being. It seems from this lazy reporting that she has failed in that responsibility, but they did document her prolonged efforts to complain and protest.
      She will continue to be a victim until she takes personal control and responsibility.
      I hope you can understand all of this, but I have my doubts.

    It's not fair that rent increases. It should be the same price for life.

      No. Cost of living goes up. Not fair for the landlords or companies take a loss.

      @@autumnfragrance6326 You mean ‘fair’ like Candyland? Grow up. Life’s never fair. Understand cause and effect, statistics, visit other cultures, and don’t vote until you do. Learn calculus, read Solzhenitsyn, learn about the Holocaust, take a course in physics, bike 15 miles in hilly terrain, move a refrigerator or rotate a mattress, learn how to change a flat tire, carry 5 gallons of water (that’s over 40 lbs),` and unclog a street drain.
