I don’t think it’s illegal… I’ve heard of similar things happening in the apartments in West New York last summer when we lived there. The Landings supposedly raised their rent by 25% and tenants couldn’t afford to renew their lease

Everything you shared and how you shared it points to the fact that you enjoy the perks of your job and there are nonnegotiables that you would likely not find in another job. (Flexibility, ability to see your kids) Speaking as another mom, your kids are young. Enjoy your time with them. You won’t regret staying at this job but you could regret leaving for another job that will probably take away these benefits and potentially add on stress!
