Danker Village Tenant Union In Albany Protest Rent Hikes

On Saturday August 3 at 1PM, tenants are holding a protest outside of the leasing office at Danker Village (129 Lincoln Ave, Albany, NY 12206) to call attention to the the ongoing intimidation, deceit, and neglect by Cass Hill Development. This is a community of low-income families, students, and immigrants who are receiving $200-$600 rent increases all while dealing with ongoing code violations. Management has ignored the demands proposed by Danker Village Tenant Union, who are fighting for a collectively bargained lease and rent increases aligned with Good Cause Eviction.
