A town centre resident says he will not be paying after he was hit with a major rent rise with just over one month's notice.
In the letter, Watford Community Housing which manages One Clarendon said: “We are letting you know about this now so that you have enough time to plan for this change”.However, the 40-year-old said that many in the building would struggle to find a spare £200, or more for larger properties, each month.“It had never happened before then £200 suddenly, based just on property market changes, I thought ‘what is going on?’,” the IT worker said.
Mr Mura also said he could not see a justification for the rent rise, claiming the flats are in poor condition, with issues that have been reported for years not being fixed.He added that if conditions were better and the rent hike came more slowly people would not have such a problem paying, as they understand that the price had been relatively low before.
