I donāt understand, you signed up for a lease that is only valid for 30 days, but now youāre mad that the lease is going up at the end of the 30 days and you canāt stay longer?
Iām not sure I grasp what the āgreedyā company has done wrong. They gave you until the end of your lease to leave, that isnāt āstrong-armingā you, thatās typically how leases work - youāre free to leave and the owner is free to have their space back. So Iām not sure what legal action could be taken against the developer, given you signed a contact that was specifically not for longer than 30 days.

We did not sign a monthly lease. We became so after making our home here for an average of ~12 years. I understand where we stand, but that doesnāt mean that a company can come in and ignore laws (which we have evidence of). This is gentrification, and we realize this isnāt a unique situation. But it stings a bit to be a part of a community that defines its character, and then to be priced out. All for the profits of a developer that will contain to whitewash every trendy neighborhood.

If you were there āfor an average of 12 years,ā why didnāt you get a yearly lease?
