RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2016-12-05 | 7 | Approved Minutes December 5, 2016 Additionally, Ms. Middelberg stated that she is a renter and is experiencing rent increases that have a financial burden on her.

They stated that more transparency from Ms. Middelberg about operating costs would help them better understand the reasoning behind rent increases.

Landlord stated the lowest increase she could afford was $120.00 (5.7%). Committee members emphasized how close the two parties were to an agreement.
