Jean Church, 87, sits in her apartment at Windward Village in Niantic, Conn. The new owners of the apartment complex have raised its rent nearly $1,000 a month. Church, who doesn’t know yet how much her individual rent hike will be, now pays over $1700 for a two bedroom apartment that she shares with her daughter, and she says the coming increase could force them out. She’s been organizing with other tenants to fight the rent hike and push legislators for better protections for renters.
