RENTER BEWARE IF YOUR RE-ELECT O'BRIEN'S SLATE!


This Election Does Matter to You WHY YOUR RENT WILL INCREASE IF TIMOTHY O'BRIEN IS RE-ELECTED


Mayor Timothy O'Brien has passed several new ordinances and fees that will increase
costs for landlords who provide affordable housing for you and your neighbors.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: When housing expenses go up, the rent goes up; it's as simple as that! Your
landlord will pass along their increased costs in the form of increased rent and
nobody can afford rent increases right now.
Timothy O'Brien has told you that policies are anti-blight ordinances, NOT TRUE!
If this were true, these fees would only be collected from blighted properties, not
from all landlords who don't live in their rental buildings. You don't live in a
blighted building, so why should your landlord have to pass these increased costs
on to you? This is a money grab that will be paid by the tenants of New Britain.
Did you know that the Mayor made a sweetheart deal on his licensing tax with
the biggest out-of-town landlord represented by a lawyer who is a political friend
of the Mayors; they will pay less per unit than a 3-family landlord. Why?
Your life may be at risk because of O'Brien's 9-1-1 fine ... and the city expects to
collect 2 million dollars this year from it, it's in the city budget! Why would any
sane person want to fine someone for calling for help? WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT:
On November 5th, you can vote to remove the Mayor that created these ordinances
and help to keep housing affordable in New Britain. Your landlord should not be forced
to raise your rent because Timothy O'Brien has increased the cost of providing rental
housing to New Britain residents.

BE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE
AND ••• MAKE SURE YOU VOTE TIM O'BRIEN OUT AS MAYOR ON NOVEMBER 5th

    Hopefully enough tenants will understand that by punishing these evil rich landlords, the liberals are really punishing the tenants who pay the rent because if the landlords have to pay more, the tenants will be faced with higher rents to fund the licensing fees the liberals are forcing onto their landlords. When will these socialists ever learn that the money to pay for their nonsense always has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is always going to be the consumers using the goods supplied by the people or companies they seek to punish.
