The good news here is that a lot of people don't even know they're landlords or are from another country. It's not the rinky dink landlords we have to worry about, it's the corporation landlords that are ruining everything.
My slumlord individual landlord was much worse than the corporate landlord I have right now. Mileage varies significantly between corporations that run rental companies. I've also had rental agencies that were shit.
mine just jacked the rent again, more than doubled now in three years. it had gone up a grand total of one time over the previous 20 years (a whole $20) before he bought the building (pretty cheap, too).
i knew this shit was gonna happen, soon as i saw that notice of the building being sold three years ago to an llc with "investments" in the name. the previous owners were also tenants themselves.
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Some people just have no concern for anything but money.
Why would you not raise the rent on your tenants? These people didn't get into being landlords because they care about the field or the people. Those some people might as well be almost all those people.
