Chester rent withholding program fails to attract many tenants
The Chester rent withholding program started nine years ago amid protests over substandard housing yet many tenants remain unaware of it. Officials acknowledge flaws and limited participation despite decades of debate about how well the ordinance helps fix violations. As of May 18, 32 tenants are enrolled with $8,579 held in escrow, and earlier court rulings have complicated enforcement.
