My rent is going up $285. Feeling down.

@mandaris That’s a bummer.

@mandaris That's a huge amount. Is that per month?

@Miraz yes. Just makes me lose hope of upward mobility.

@mandaris Are there no limits on rent increases where you live? That’s unfortunate. (Whether limits are a net benefit is a whole other topic!)

@mandaris That’s just brutal. There need to be more controls in place preventing landlords from price gouging their tenants.

@pimoore the way that the get around it is to charge for things that were free before. For example parking, water, and sewage.
