Some incredible spin from Starlight Investments in this piece… Starlight says it “proactively scheduled and completed essential electrical upgrades” AFTER tenants experienced power outages during the recent heat wave and had similar outages over the past few years.
About 100 households awaiting an eviction decision over a two-year rent strike say they rejected their landlord’s final settlement offer because it would “silence” them if future issues were to arise.

Starlight and PSP Investments wanted to limit tenants’ ability to say true things about issues at their buildings that arise in the future. It says a lot about how they understand their own business model that this was so important to them.
Prior to last week's group eviction hearing where we raised collective issues we have faced since PSP Investments and Starlight acquired our buildings, there were negotiations that broke down. This is the landlords' final offer to tenants, and why negotiations broke down. (1/7)
