UCI On-Campus Housing Problems

Emergency meeting about on-campus RENT INCREASES

Earlier in the week, Verano residents have received a letter about a proposed rent increase of 8%.
Outraged Verano and Palo Verde residents have started a campaign to stop the proposed increase.
They have scheduled an Emergency Verano/PV Community meeting for Thursday, May 18.
I urge everybody in Verano and Palo Verde to attend that meeting.

The meeting info:

Worried about the RENT INCREASE in Verano and high rents in Palo Verde?!?
Want to do something to stop it?

Attend the emergency
VERANO/PV COMMUNITY MEETING! URGENT PARTICIPATION NEEDED!

WHEN: THURSDAY, May 18th, 6:30 PM

WHERE: OLD REC CENTER LAWN, VERANO

WHY: Get info about proposed rent increase & join the campaign to STOP IT!!!

Update:
Beverly Chaney, the Verano Director, sent out an email to all Verano Housing residents. One line in that email stands out:

With ... continuing efforts to converge the rates across Graduate and Family Housing, similar annual increases are anticipated over the next few years."

So, they are openly admitting that Verano is going to have similar increases every year for the next years. NOW is the time to stop this plan!
