Rents have been increased at A her's Path from $647 to $681. There have been some residents that have complained,, but this increase is mandated. one resident called Peabody Properties to request finan 'aI information-ori the property for the past two years. That request eras denied, as management is not required to provide residents with this information. I have provided residents with an explanation of the increase, and will also include something in the May newsletter. The informal resident association at Asher's Path is still unsteady. Some residents have quit the board because of"in fighting""'. The association, at this point, is considered informal and social as far as Peabody Properties is concerned.. when the housing authority takes over I will have to see where they are at with things. � 1 �
