Tenants at an Easthampton apartment complex are pushing back against another round of rent hikes. Twenty-four residents at Pleasant View on Nashawannuck Street have refused to sign new leases after proposed increases of up to $200 a month. Landlords have since offered smaller increases and multiyear leases, citing rising property taxes and operating costs. Negotiations are continuing.
