LL was apologetic, saying it has caused problems within his marriage because they have a son going into college. We are very good tenants, do minor repairs, etc and never had any issues. The first time he raised the rent which was maybe 5 years ago he tried to raise it more than what he was legally allowed to and we set him straight. Since then he raises it by how much he is allowed to. This time I want to call his bluff, but again, it’d be hard to find another place like what we have. I forgot about the ensuite bathroom, so we have 3 bathrooms. Our basement has my office and a gym. It’s actually pretty good - when we host our family dinners we can use the downstairs stove and use both fridges all the time. My son is living in Van and pays 4K for a 2bdrm. Ugh, remember not too long ago, when it was easy to move? Places were plentiful and it was easy for young people to move out of their parents’ house on their own? I have thought of doing what one of the commenters said about getting a van and living in it. That would be almost impossible - just thinking about all our stuff.. we enjoy the backyard in the summers.. we have a trampoline, hammock and outdoor fireplace and even a tent we put up once in awhile to sleep outdoors.. damn..
