The London octogenarian and her daughter Deborah Barrett were two of 20 tenants of 1270 and 1280 Webster St. who received eviction notices by their landlord.
“I’m a nervous wreck, I don’t know where to go,” said Christer.
Deborah said they had just returned home from a trip to the grocery store when they found letters at their front door late last week.
“I opened it up and I was like, ‘Oh my god it's an eviction notice,’” said Deborah from the couch at her mother’s apartment. “She [Christer] started crying, came down here, and there was one at her door.”
Christer worries where she will live after four years in her current apartment. She currently pays $900 per month in rent.
“I can’t afford $1,800 a month,” she said, holding back tears. “I live on a fixed income, just like so many other people who live here. I don’t know what to do.”
