Page Mill Properties Accused of Subverting East Palo Alto's Rent Control
East Palo Alto: Property Company Violating Rent Control
The Fair Rent Now Coalition held a petition drive Saturday July 26th to protest rent increases to apartments owned by Page Mill Properties. The increases affect about 1,300 of the private investment firm's 1,650 units in East Palo Alto.
Residents filed a class action suit on July 15, alleging that the rent hikes are illegal, meant to cause harm, and constitute unfair business practice. The complaint also says that Page Mill Properties is using a sham ownership scheme to subvert East Palo Alto's rent control law.
The City of East Palo Alto is also taking legal action against Page Mill Properties and the Stanford Law Clinic is helping the tenants. The firm Heller Ehrman LLP has taken on the residents' case pro bono. They are seeking punitive and actual damages.
