Comment on Anon gets a pay raise
reev@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI think its crazy that there are places where you just randomly, for no reason, get the rent of your current residence increased on you. I feel like that alone should tell you the priorities of your current and past governments.
the reason the rent goes up is because costs go up. taxes go up, fees go up, and demand goes up.
bitch all you want about rent goign up, truth is if you aren’t willing to pay it then someone else is.
my last apartment i paid an extra months rent to beat out the other people who wanted it.

It’s not for “no reason” buddy. How else is my landlord and their family gonna eat if I don’t put food on their table?
And they deserve the very best, and they know I definitely can’t afford to buy that for them (as much as I would love to), which is why they kindly and cleverly have put together a grassroots community effort and in a way “crowdfunded” their own lavish lifestyle by purchasing literally dozens of properties and jacking up the rent every year by hundreds of dollars a month. It’s all a community thing!
They live in a mansion. I’ve seen their house. They have a fucking pool.
