 The tenants' union filed a complaint after learning their leases would not be renewed in order to make repairs on the building. They say the move violates city and state law by retaliating against tenants who are members of the union. According to the New Haven Independent, the commission says the tenants failed to prove the landlord chose not to renew their leases because they were part of a union.
