Gavin Brown was paying $875 a month to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Grand Rapids until a new landlord bought his building last summer.
The new owners wanted to bump Brown’s rent up to at least $1,300 – nearly a 50% increase he couldn’t afford. Instead, they gave Brown a six-month grace period of $1,050 until he can find a new place.
