The Trelawny Tenants Union has achieved a significant milestone, settling for $3.6 million with landlord Geoffrey Rice over improper rent hikes. This reimbursement, affecting more than 1,000 residents for overpayments since 2020, stems from ongoing mediation and legal challenges against violations of rent control laws. Moving forward, the union plans to enforce compliance among landlords in Portland and is exploring a digitized rental registration system for better governance.
