Both sides are scheduled to show up for the beginning of eviction hearings on Wednesday afternoon
A rally is planned on Wednesday in Lawrence, Massachusetts, as people there speak out against a major rent hike.
The tenants in two apartment buildings say their rent is going up by 50% or more, and they say that they simply can't afford it. "A landlord buys the property and seeks a great increase in rent, in this case 50% plus, and that’s enough to drive out everyone in the building," Steve Meacham from City Live/Vida Urbana said.
The state legislature and the governor would still need to approve the home rule petition – so there still is a way to go before rent prices potentially come down in the city.
