SOCIAL JUSTICE WEDNESDAY 8, FEBRUARY 2017 Amid soaring rents, low-income residents win protection

On August 11, 2016, Toya Thomas came home to find a note pinned to her apartment door stating that her lease was being terminated. It was from Calibrate Property Management Company, which had recently taken ownership of the Renton Woods apartment complex. Thomas is a single mother with three children, including a 25-year-old son with special needs.

She was given 60 days to vacate the apartment.
