60 Property Owners Violate Rental Ceilings on Cottages
More than 60 Milford property owners, led by Thomas McKeon of the Area Rent Control office, allegedly overcharged student veterans at Yale on Summet Cottages off season. The concern arose after a Hartford hearing tied to a damage suit against Walter Foley, a Glastonbury town court judge, and George Hancock, Milford real estate agent. Foley’s alleged 30 percent overcharge mirrors widespread similar actions, though many landlords accepted ceiling rents.
