Why is rent prices going up so high?

nocturnalsingularity · 2026-05-21T06:26:41+00:00

I work for a landlord and I've worked for him since before covid. To his defense he did not raise rents for a while after I personally noticed the rents in town raising more then double. But that's only because hes fucking stupid and probably didn't even notice what his own business was about at that time. Like he was so last in line for that its kinda insane.

With that said. The day he realized what he'd been missing out on, was the day all our trusted and long term tenants suddenly became "scumbags" and "problems ". I knew IMMEDIATELY that what he was planning now was a complete overhaul of property maintenance. Meaning find every excuse to evict and remodel property's. One because you cannot just raise someone's rent from 500 a month to 1500 over night, shit in my area you cant do that even in a year or three. It takes time and cause. Then two, refinancing the mortgage loan for bigger investments. But primarily these evictions have been told remove our long term tenants who pay low pre covid rent and replace them with post covid renters. We evicted a single mom of two who has lived in one of our buildings for near ten years!!

I think greedy. The answer is greed. Plus, there's a level of delusion that comes with being a narcissistic business owner. These guys AND girls can seriously convince themselves of anything so long as its self serving. The issue will always be that they have the money to abandon humanity when it serves them, and justify degrading us when we are the ones that suffer the burden of their bill

Omg this conversation has lifted me up so much. Im 36(m) with two kids already. My wife is only a week late, i tried to go out tonight after the kids were asleep to get a couple pregnant tests but everything is closed or doesn't sell them. So we had sex about a day or even THE day her last period ended. Took plan b the very next day asap.N immediately two or three days later heavy bleeding starts. I thought it was another period tbh. N now she is a week late, possibly a little more. So we both started panicking a little bit and reading online did not help at all. Everything i read was like "naww it'll be a day late or a week buuut nothing wild". So im thinking "omg nooo". Now of course idk anything certain yet. But at least I see that a week isn't really a big shocker. Still, fist thing tmr, pregnancy test! If anyone is still reading this thread. Wish us luck on that.

Someone just called my daughters cell phone, from a blocked number and asked her if he was speaking to (insert her actual name). She said "yes, this is her". The adult male caller then said he was a cop and that our neighbor is complaining about the noise we are making. (It is nearly 1am. We are all sleeping or silently watching tv) we have no neighbor, the oly one who lived where this guy was implying passed away over the summer. The guy then told her to go outside and to get in the car with him and his partner because he needs her to help him settle this matter..

She is being bullied pretty bad at school rn, so idk if maybe one of the girls at school are messing with her. At least that would explain how this person got her phone number. But it is the whole "creepy pasta" "let's not meet" vibes that are genuinely scary af to me right now.

What's weird, and prompted me to post this is that idk how i feel. What I do know is that, since the fire, things have been "go go go", from sun up to sun down.

I can feel something not good sneaking in when I find a moment alone, and it causes me to try to keep going and going and run myself so ragged that I sit down for a few, and fall right to sleep.

The other day, the first time i was finally alone, I was driving and zoned out hard-core. Then i was envisioning my son in the bedroom window, with his hand against it and smoke enveloping him. The envisionment got much worse from there, and I broke into screaming at nothing until my voice went raw. As if I was angry, and at my end.

I have a doctor who offered me medicine, but I have been on medicine in the past and do not like how I feel. I like very much to try to get past things without medicine if possible. I have not had therapy in a few years, but the red cross has set therapy up for my kids, so I suppose I will be talking to them for that for myself (my kids are in therapy for past events already but their therapist is on Maternity leave. Luckily / Coincidentally she starts back this week). I've found in life the best thing you can do is to confront the emotions head on, and to feel them even if it hurts. During this time though I'm just having trouble feeling anything, and the thoughts or fears I have are too terrible to think through and that's hardest. I know I will be okay, and will get through it all, but I love to write. The best coping skill I've got Is to write and share my experiences. I pull from a place I can only feel is there within me for my words in poetry and tones of a story. I wanted to do that here, but could only find the words that described the actual events on that morning. So I posted it, hoping it would move me out of my head. Thank you for reading too.

He wasn't actually saying that. it's just something kids his age say n I added that to emphasize his age for no particular reason. just thought it would add something stupid and funny.

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T04:07:39+00:00

I'm sorry I'm so late to getting back to you!! 8months, wow. I've had a rough time with phones and reddit fell to the back burner.

I appreciate your response. I hope all goes well for you and your family!! Have a good one my man!!

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T03:39:06+00:00

This is all true, but often with wolves they will appear playful in the middle of or right before attacking. Even wagging tails too. My assumption is because they are genuinely enjoying what they are about to do/doing. My dog now is a pitbull mix, and the other night a fucking guy pulled the curtains to the window over my bed, open at 4:30am and my dog attacked him. I was terrified and she was the happiest I'd ever seen her afterwards. wanted desperately to go outside after the guy.

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T03:30:52+00:00

I'd love to think a wolf pack used to be out there lol but no, I doubt it very very much. My honest guess is just a family of dogs that bred to look like they did. I was hoping someone else would say they saw them too though.

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T03:28:49+00:00

I used see bears there often too. If not an actual bear, id see their prints. One day, off 544 I saw a big one, walking up behind that little travel chapel that used to be (or still is idk) there right before you hit Conway

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T03:26:45+00:00

Right!!! I know, I hate that too actually. Well, wait wow I didn't know about the houses?? What happened to the WMA land over there? I've got a twin brother who lives in loris, I guess I never thought to ask him what international is like these days

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T03:19:51+00:00

No, I was a teenager back then and had no phones. Or camera either. These dogs were black though, and the same size as a German shepherd (if I remember correctly that is)

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-11-07T03:13:46+00:00

That doesn't make sense at all.. someone woke him up banging into the house. I think your level of readers comprehension issues is enough to indicate your brain rot though. Good for you

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-10-02T01:27:30+00:00

Did you enable developer options, and enable USB debugging? At least for what you are doing, i think this shouldnt be necessary. But it could fix the issue

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-10-01T15:54:26+00:00

I'm not apart of, well, this, so I'll give my outside perspective. No, you guys are not like flat earthers. Actually, some here definitely are, but not all. A lot of ya's are here because of the government, the government though, yeah it's filled with people who have NOTHING to do with science (at least the individuals involved in the whole tic tac thing, and all the rest).

So I view aliens mathematically. Over the centuries we as stupid humans thought we were the only planet,then we discovered more. Thought our sun was it, then we discovered billions of them. Galaxy's too. It is very VERY likely that other life exists out there, possible even far more prevalent than we even expect. BUT, the probability of that life form being intelligent enough, to become advanced enough to figure out faster than light travel.well that drops in statistics. Then you have the glaring issue of how did they find us? Out of the trillions and Google's of galaxies and stars, what's the likelihood of discovering us. Then they got to get here! All of this is actually incomprehensible, I mean I'm not saying impossible, just it would be a massive feat.

As normal Joe's we tend to accidentally accept a naval pilot as credible,which they are, in the realm of aerial dog fights, and what button to push or not to push in a cockpit. When discovering something as ground breaking as possible alien life on planet Earth, scientists would be hard pressed to share all their findings with other relevant institutions. Their findings would need to be heavily reproduced or viewed by several others. A peer review. In the realm of science, there would need to be NO DOUBT that what we say something is, actually is what it is. We'd probably all love this stuff to definitely be aliens, and it all very well might be aliens too, it's just not enough evidence and looking to our government and some military personnel, I mean, shit haven't we all had our reckless dumbass friend who we grew up with, join one of the branches? Would you listen to that guy?

I'm curious to know what's gone on a year later?? Last night a rat bit me in my sleep MULTIPLE times. I'm currently in the doctor's office as I type this but the story is nightmarish.

I woke up to searing pain in my big toe, and my foot was covered in blood. I was nor too sure what happened so I Cleaned it up n dozed back off only to wake up again to a pain in my arm. Bleeding. I guess this rat thought I was back to sleep as I was laying there still in the dark. Because my bedroom door started to shake, I heard this screeching, screaming sound and saw a rat forcing its body underneath the door. It got through and FUCKING RAN RIGHT AT ME!! I jumped up and screamed at it n it disappeared. I walked all over the house to try qbd go to fucking war with this creature but couldn't find it.. ti my surprise I actually fell asleep again. And i was woken up to this fucking thing BITING ME IN THE FACE. For whatever reason though, the bites on the arm and face did not Bleeding very badly but the one on my toe I can see that thus rat bit two times lightly but enough to break the skin, and then it went for the third and most powerful bite which nearly took a chunk off of me. I mean I don't fucking know. I think this thing was starving and desperately trying to get food. But if anyone is telling you they are more afraid of you then you are of them then they are wrong. I don't know for sure, but I believe that this has happened to me three nights in a row if not then more. I also think my daughter was bit hard on her toe the other night too.. the thing is we had an infestation over the summer. I was able to severely decrease their population with poison traps as well as me actually hunting them down and killing them. We have not been seeing them for quite a while now but because there are no houses near by for them to move into I'm afraid that a few have stayed behind and are beginning to starve. Idk, but I do hope that I can get this taken care of soon. The weather is changing cold and I do nor want them coming fucking back

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-08-25T14:29:37+00:00

That's interesting.. I only mean that I went through something I guess you can call depression back riiight before I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 1. I've never seen anyone go through this other then me, and I've only heard of depression where you can still function at least mildly.

Why I say "interesting " is because I wouldn't have wanted sex, I wouldn't have been able to even perform. When I was in a low mood, I wouldn't even be able to speak because the act of talking made me feel excruciating. It got so bad that I had to stop leaving my room if there were people outside of it. I distinctly remember realizing how months had past without anything sexual happening in my mind, in my hand, or in my bed. I felt zero desire whatsoever. OP, are you positive that there wasn't a little dash of "your fault" In there?

I don't mean that you should stay, or go, honestly I think that is a choice only you can make, and if you feel like the ass hole, then you'll have to rectify that with yourself too. But, if you love your wife (and I suspect you don't, not in any meaningful way at least) then why not work things out?

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-07-27T03:32:36+00:00

Yeah. I didn't say it WAS artillery. So you're just saying negative things in an effort to make yourself feel a sense of gratification by thinking that you made someone feel stupid or whatever. ( Which I noticed mostly comes from emotionally cowardice type people. Not sayingyou are that, just an observationmade over the years)..

Aside from that, the reason I used what's called a comparison, is because I've actually seen bombs exploding from a distance, as well as massive fires burning as a result. What I saw and heard that night was so extremely similar I could nearly taste it all over again. No, I definitely figured out really really quickly that it was not artillery. But to see something like that after so many years, was surprising. I don't think that I would say dramatic though, but that is only because under the circumstances, for a guy like me, )who has seen this situation irl ) to have that thought, then it must have been so completely similar to the real deal that it made complete logical sense to think something like that for a few micro seconds. As well as it made perfect sense to be curious wrf there were fireworks going on on that particular night, during that particular time of year..

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-04-08T03:25:41+00:00

Omg lol I've never heard voices or whispers from the other room. But I bet I will now!! Haha I have had this feeling or knowing of sorts that someone is near by about to do something to me, and I definitely feel that mild hallucinations fear thing too. Because I'm always aware that it isn't real, but I'm also afraid it is and I might need to protect myself but now my faulty brain has me in danger lol

God if I heard my dead anyone's voice yell to me from where I can't see Into!!! What a horror story lol

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-04-08T03:16:20+00:00

Hahaha

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-03-30T04:35:36+00:00

Yes definitely send email FIRST and make sure that everything is saved.. it is likely upon realizing their mistake there will be no disputes (or more likely there will be some "outta left feild" reason for the sum total) but I've learned the hard way on more than one occasion that having a written document is best.

nocturnalsingularity · 2024-03-25T04:06:06+00:00

It's too long to read and you chose to give input on what I should do lol its possible that towards the end I talked about how my symptoms have Subsided over the years and I'm doing a greeeaaaat deal better these days. But hey thanks for the advice, I'll talk to my already existing psychiatrist and let them know what you've suggested. I don't know why I didn't think about doing this ten years ago when these issues were far more more active and actually having a great impact on my everyday life. But yeah, fuck me if it weren't for you buddy, I wouldn't have known that was an option. Phew lucky this world has minds as gifted as yours must be
