Description

Owners of income-restricted apartments are in financial distress because, they say, many tenants are failing to pay rising rents, operating costs are increasing and more units are sitting empty. Paying off part of their debts, the argument goes, would allow them to pass on savings to tenants.

The Portland City Council next month will consider a proposal to spend millions of dollars to pay off mortgages held by landlords of low-income housing, a move backers say will lower rents in those income-restricted apartments.
