Has anyone seen hard evidence that the landlord is raising rent because of the development project? It doesn't seem unbelievable that that's the reason for the MCI rent increase, especially since some if not all the planned improvements are for the building's exterior--I wasn't sure whether the plan for improved hallway windows will affect the way that the building looks from the outside--but it doesn't seem that anyone has put forward anything other than circumstantial proof so far.

Is there a way to determine the actual reason for the MCI rent increase, i.e. find documentation somewhere? That seems like the right next step for PPM to take.

If there is documentation or some other kind of hard evidence, what then? Do the residents a right to do anything other than ask for an extension on the rent hike?
