Reply to comment by munchingzia in What can I do about exorbitant rent increase? I know all municipalities have their own laws regarding rent increase, but who do I contact? by AhoyGoFuckYourself

See that's why we need massive taxes on massive profits. People will still provide a service for a fair profit, it will just keep people that are greedy out. This idea that business will dry up if people can't become insanely rich is a lie that doesn't play out in any other developed nation with sensible tax laws.

and pls explain to me how im making a profit if my mortgage + taxes are 3000$ a month? theres no profit in it, its just being used to cover costs.

To answer your first point, good. You're obviously the type of person that would not be a good landlord. The tax works.

To your second point, I clearly used $1,000 as an example. So if your actual costs were $3,000, maybe $3,600 would be fair.

I'm going to stop responding because I get the real feeling that you're not interested in actually considering solutions to this crisis, but simply want to justify your own greedy thoughts. Take care friend.

Nice job taking the high road. Make a bunch of assumptions, and hit the road. Nice strategy.
