Dear Editor,

Regarding housing discussion in the new 鈥淎t Your Service鈥 feature:

There is a big issue facing me now as I wait to get into subsidized seniors housing. My current landlord is refusing to let me have a month to month rental after a year lease. I need the month to month so I can quickly accept a subsidized placement.

I am close to the top of the list at 91原创 Lions. Managers of rental apartment blocks mostly insist on a lease. If I can鈥檛 find a place by end September, I will be homeless.

Government needs to change the legislation to protect vulnerable seniors like me from selfish, unreasonable landlords.

Patricia McGee, 91原创 Township
