The past few years have made the cost-of-living skyrocket for many of us, who have decent wage-earning jobs. The complications that the post-Covid world has introduced are now affecting so many aspects of life. One of the biggest impacts has been the rent moratoriums - with so many landlords being unable to collect rent from many tenants who were forced to suspend their payments, the unintended consequence of this has been the massive increase in monthly apartment rental fees.
This impact has now forced our friend Pete out of his Burien apartment where he has been residing for twenty-two years. Recently, without much advanced notice, he was notified that his monthly rate will be increased by an estimated 70% upon lease renewal at the end of March '24. This is far beyond Pete’s ability to afford long-term, and therefore he is looking to move closer to his workplace.
While the monthly cost of the new apartment is within his means, coming up with enough for first & last rent, a security deposit, and the cost of hiring movers is a major financial challenge for him at this time. This situation is very overwhelming for Pete, and it would be a huge encouragement if we as his friends could band together and work help smooth out this hurdle.
This fundraiser will not be made public, so please use discretion if you wish to share this with other friends of his.
