Two massive corporate landlords, Equity Residential and AvalonBay, just announced their merger to become Vivmark Residential. Here’s the problem. Their press release left out a lot of key details, so we took the liberty of translating it. Enjoy!
Who came up with this new name? Are they really expecting tenants not to be alarmed by this merger? Oh wait, shareholders are the priority here.
Two corporate landlords who’ve already been called out for abuses are joining forces? This can’t be good.
They can’t possibly expect tenants to be ok with this…
Whew! What a lot of corporate-landlord propaganda. Seems like we need to break through the noise. Want to know more about what this merger means for tenants?
