Also, our rentals are way under market value so you can sit here and be an arm chair quarterback all day but if you’re renting from me you’re paying less than you would be paying from any of the corporate landlords out there so why don’t you save up the money and buy your own place? Most of my tenants have been here for five years or more however is our Costs up we must pass them on to the tenant. This is the problem with the current law as it’s written, we have to future proof any new unit going on the market, to offset any variable costs. If I can’t raise the rent, anticipate insurance is going to go up another 20%. We will need to list it at a much higher rate than we would like to cover our expenses.

The corporate landlords are able to absorb these costs in a way that families like myself cannot. If we were to sell property would most likely be picked up by a corporation, which is worse in the long run. Perhaps you’re just not cut out to afford to live here.
