    Landlord wanted to raise rent by another $200 to "keep up with market prices". That was their excuse. To keep up with market prices.

    In no way defending landlords, but a family friend who inherited another property decided to rent it out. They used a property manager (through an agency) because they had their own full time job.

    At some point they found out the property manager increased rent a decent amount, while the economy was going in the shitter, without informing them. When they found out they were like "wtf, why'd you do that?" they replied "because the market rate went up and if we don't then it will impact how much we can charge for other properties".

    He told them to fuck off, fired them and brought the rent back to what it was.

    I often wonder how many landlords don't even know what's going on with their properties and would probably disagree with what the property managers are doing. Not that that excuses it though...

      I don't have to justify shit to you. I'm sorry you've disillusioned yourself that somehow I'm the enemy because of your inability to buy a house.

      Your hatred and ignorance makes you no better than any other prejudiced hate group. You know nothing about me, but you think it's okay for people hurt me and my well-being because you already determined I'm some sort of "enemy". Hell, it's how most monsters morally justify committing heinous and even monsterous acts against others that they perceived different to them...or against them.

      Get help dude. Not sure where you fucked up in life that you think your behavior is acceptable, but seriously mate, you should see someone about it. It's not healthy.

        Clearly you think you do, given your paragraphs of unread whinging, you leech. Try to pass your guilt of being a shitty leech in society to me all you want, being a "bigot" isn't possible against leeches like you

          I think people renting to a handful of people are doing a service for those who need temporary housing.

          I also think anyone who rents to more than 30 tenants should be forced to sell some of their properties.

          Idk where you fall on that scale.

            Keep being salty. I'm sorry mate, your inability to get ahead isn't my problem, but maybe it's just easier to convince yourself that your just a victim instead of being an unsuccessful bigoted little troll. This is a 'you' problem. I have zero guilt. Literally zero about owning property. If you need to call me a leech to make yourself feel better about being a complete fuck up, have at it. Hope it helps you feel better about yourself.

                I think all landlords get demonized lately as a meme unfairly. Lots of times property taxes get jacked up, hoa fees, etc. So there is rationale to raise the fees.

                But I had this exact phrasing happen to me before I bought my house. "Were raising costs to keep up with market rate." I think its a mistake to do that to reliable, clean, respectful tenants if you dont have to.

                But I could see someone doing that to a tenant who leaves trash, doesnt pickup after their dog, or plays loud music.

                But landlords that treat it like a business and not just what is necessary are a joke for sure. But most of the hate I see landlords get are blanket and not fair.

                Another thing I'll say is corporations owning property only makes this worse. Half the townhouses in my community are owned by corporations and they always get shitty tenants who let their kids trash the place.

                We have had incidents where kids pull out bricks from a garden wall and now its going to cost the homeowners 3,000 dollars.

                I really think sometimes consideration and neighborly respect is dead. I fucking hate it.

                Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Both landlords and renters can be trash.
