Concerns about your rent increase I was one of the 84 tenants evicted from XXX in June 2013. We had no protection contrary to what the Alameda City Manager stated at a City Council Meeting. We did have financial hardship. The only benefit we received was an offer to pay for moving expenses not beyond 3 hours. The time over the three hours was to be paid by the tenant. We only had the use of one elevator either morning or afternoon. For additional relocating costs and higher deposits I am out $5000+. In addition, what many of us thought odd was how fast permits were approved for the current demolition and retrofitting. This is generally not the norm for the permit process in Alameda. Just watch citizens approach the planning board to improve a personal property and it practically takes an act of Congress. I am personally for rent control. I am an active citizen who contributes both time and money to many organizations in Alameda. I am not yet concerned, but I am aware of the trend in Alameda and have much anxiety due to a limited income.
