Waterville, ME landlord pressures tenants to vote against recall of Republican mayor.

[RandySF]

WATERVILLE — An apartment rental company with more than 50 buildings in the city is telling residents to reject the recall of Mayor Nick Isgro if they want to prevent a rent increase.

In a notice distributed Monday to tenants residing in the city, Brown House Properties warned of potential property tax increases that would force Waterville landlords to considerably increase monthly rental rates city wide.

“Tax increase = rent increase!” the notice says in bold across the top.

It goes on to say, “Brown House Properties is avidly against these property tax increases and (we) need your help as Waterville residents to express your concern to the City Council.”

The notice lists three ways residents can get involved — either by contacting city councilors by phone or email; attending Tuesday night’s City Council meeting; or voting “NO” on the June 12 mayoral recall.

“We do not instruct anybody how to vote,” said Lindsey Burrill, whose family owns Brown House Properties. “We tell them the information and if they feel so obliged they can act on it.”
