"We have seen corporate landlords—who own a larger share of the rental market than ever before—use inflation as an excuse to hike rents and reap excess profits beyond what should be considered fair and reasonable."
All I can say is the absolutely shit apt I lived in in South Florida, wasn’t maintained, gross and expensive for 2300 a month wanted to raise our rent to almost 2400 a month for an apt that should cost 1600(being generous).
I did look into that, my entire area is insanely expensive to rent in. With moving costs and deposits I’d be spending more in a year by moving.
I am looking into moving states but wouldn’t have time to get a new job. Going to have to bite the bullet and start planning for next year. Working on IT certs to get better paying jobs.

Fuck corporate landlords
My complex just got bought out by an investment company. 24% rent increase after years of <5% increases
This is going to be 50% of my after-tax income. They own half of me
Just move, we did it and found a local landlord, bigger apt newer better maintained and it is 25 bux a month cheaper.
