Landord raised the rent

He gave me the notice yesterday it will increase by $85 starting May 1st. I tried negoting with him because I lost my job recently and I can only afford to pay the original price which is $865 he told me he can't promise me anything but will talk to the rental company I'm so worried I feel like he's lying about the rent increase these are greedy people from L.A who only care about money I'm a young single mom I can't afford the new price he then tells me that he it'll be increasing to $95 the following year like, wtf are you serious? The landlord we had before them never increased our rent but these L.A aholes want to. I live in a low income neighborhood and he wants to increase my rent wtf.

The problem is prices for everything are going up.
Property taxes increase, so does your rent.
No matter how you see it, It all trickles down to the consumer.

@Adrift voting poorly will cause problems like this.

@Ravens80 voting these days is like trying to choose which end of the turd stinks the least.
They all suck.

@Adrift true but somehow people like the stinking ones the most, then can’t understand why things get worse, harder and more expensive. Just look back at the patterns in history for the last 50 years.

You're passing the buck. Renters shouldn't have to pay your bills. @Adrift

@Spoiledbrat Ok whatever. I guess you got it all figured out then.

@Adrift Your average consumer can't afford it but company owners can.
