<p class="MsoNormal">PC is one of 20 tenants in a 30 unit building, where ‘new owner’ [records don’t show a new owner, but tenant says many things have changed drastically] has sent a letter to all tenants to ask them to move out of the building. Owners are
renovating units one at a time, rent increasing $700-$800 month for the new units.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some tenants have left, others have created a group, wanting to take a stand that they should not be forced out of their homes—some having lived there 29 years.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Per chance there are civil rights minded attorneys that have experienced success in finding ways to allow long time tenants to stay in similar situations?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is a long shot—but the non weather climate in Seattle has lots going on. Maybe there is hope for this PC.<o:p></o:p></p>
