In Millbury, there's a looming possibility of monopolies taking hold in the apartment rental sector, quietly shaping our community's housing landscape. These monopolies, potentially controlled by a few individuals using various corporations or a select few entities, could dictate rental prices, tenant options, and living standards. This dominance may lead to inflated rents, subpar living conditions, and limited housing choices, particularly affecting low- and middle-income families. Furthermore, the emergence of monopolies could stifle innovation, drive community displacement, and hinder fair competition.
