This is the year I finally get priced out of my apartment, isn't it?

It's disgusting. It's especially insulting when you see that the building was purchased for like 350k, so there's rarely a reason other than greed to pull this (unless it's someone newly buying w. high interest/totally gutted and rebuilt).

Meanwhile, I know an equal amount of landlords who are also horrified and choose not to squeeze their tenants(my own living situations included). Hoping you find yourself in a similar spot.

I will say these "3k a month 800+ credit score" listings get absolutely ripped to shreds by the community on Nextdoor for being opportunistic. I've never seen a group of people here turn more quickly on a post lol.

We’re waiting to get priced out of friggen Woonsocket at this point. Downstairs neighbors rent went up $500 and the landlord is splitting the gas bill between the units instead of including it in rent. 😮‍💨

Choices have been slim. Not sure what else you want me to say.

$1400 each isn't what we want to spend but we're willing to to find something, it isn't that much more than the going prices to where we can't find anything
