“FOR EVERYONE WHO THINKS LANDLORDS ARE JUST ‘GREEDY’…”
Here’s reality.
I own over 40 properties in one municipality alone, and every single year the assessed values go UP. Never down. Ever.
On top of that: • Insurance keeps increasing
• HOA fees keep increasing
• Water and sewer charges keep increasing
• Labor and repair costs keep increasing
• Interest rates and taxes keep increasing
But somehow landlords are expected to freeze rents forever?
That’s not how business works.
If a landlord isn’t adjusting rents yearly to keep up with rising operating costs, they’re not running a real business — they’re subsidizing housing out of their own pocket.
Most tenants only see the rent. They don’t see the thousands and thousands in increases happening behind the scenes every single year.
