I’ve been renting the same place for 12 years. When I originally started renting in 2014, the rent was 1200, my landlord has increased my rent every year by $100 a month. So now it’s 2600 a month. I’ve been on time every payment up until about three years ago. Once it hit about the 2300 a month mark, then I started to get to where I’d be one month behind and then pay it up. My landlord always tax on a $200 late fee. I live in a really shabby place built in the 1960s, with the brown renters carpet. I have a broken window, no air conditioner and some mold growing on a wall in the basement. I’ve been living like this throughout all of my 20s, I’m just about to start living out of my car now. It’s just sad to leave and not have anything, and to know that I paid over 300 K in rent and my landlord doesn’t offer any sort of help or anything. Just boot to the door your stuff goes in the dumpster. Never a thank you letter or anything just another tenant treated like a subhuman worm.
