I was just notified by Tiberio and Londo Construction, landlords, on Sept. 21, of a $200 a month increase in my rent.

I have been here at this address for five years, never missed a payment and never have been late with a payment. My rent will increase to $1,700 a month on Nov. 1.

I am a senior, 73, and disabled. Never the less, I have taken very good care of this property in spite of the landlords reluctance to do some repairs in the past. Is there no respect at all now for anyone? Compassion should be in this conversation somewhere also.
