I have a deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent notification of a rent increase for my property in Hamilton Square. This increase is not only unjustified, but also indicative of a broader pattern of behaviour by your company that is contributing to the gentrification of our local area.The proposed rent increase is significantly higher than the current market rate for similar properties in the area. This undue increase places an unnecessary financial burden on tenants like myself, who are already struggling with the rising cost of living. It appears that Leef Properties is engaging in a practice of purchasing multiple properties in the area and subsequently raising rents across these properties, thereby inflating local market values.This practice is not only exploitative but also has a detrimental impact on the local community. By driving up rent prices, long-term residents are being forced out of their homes, leading to a loss of community cohesion and the displacement of residents who have lived here for many years. This trend is a clear indication of gentrification, which disproportionately affects low and middle-income residents, and undermines the socio-economic diversity that makes our community what it is.Leef Properties must reconsider the proposed rent increase and to take into account the broader implications of their business practices on the local community. As a tenant and a member of this community, I believe it is crucial for property management companies to act responsibly and ethically, balancing their business interests with the well-being of the residents and the preservation of the community fabric.
