STOP ILLEGAL RENT INCREASES ON PEI!!

This is a fantastic initiative started by My Old Apartment (Twitter @ApartmentOld)

Help out the tenant in your old apartment by sending them a note letting them know the rent you paid when you lived there!

Cards can be picked up at the @peivrc while supplies last. You are encouraged to hand deliver the card to the new tenant or you can return the filled out card to the VRC to be mailed. Also, feel free to make your own!

If you feel so inclined and would like to help with a small donation to cover the cost of cards and postage, please send an etransfer to the VRC at payvrc@vrcpei.org.

FYI: The text for cards is in the caption of each photo.
