Legacy apartments #115
When I moved here in September 15, 2021 I had housing vouchers paying only $266 but now I have to pay full rent of $430 when this complex is under low income housing I am very low income I feel I have been discriminated when I live check to check and the leasing office is aware of this but when I asked them if this was under low income they flat out told me no that $430 is half of my disability pension and I am living through very much hardship and causing me mental anguish I pray and hope that there is some way for someone to help me with this matter
