Sounds like they're living in a high demand luxury apartment with a great view from the looks of it. Landlord just told em they fucked around and are going to find out now. The price is clearly because they don't want to deal with them anymore.
God damn, no sympathy at all eh? Yes they're yuppies, but you're going to bat for a punitive rent hike because "they probably deserved it" or something like that? That's cold.
These women are losing their home because they argued with a landlord over raising rent. That's some Dickensian shit right there.
Their rent jump from 2500/month to 3500/month before they complained, which is still absolutely insane. Once they complained, it jumped to 9500/month to get rid of them.
Wow. You can take the Redditor out of Reddit but you can't take the Reddit out of the Redditor.
what the fuck are you even talking about dude
if you had your largest expense increase 40% you would "complain" too. anyone would. the landlord turning around and making it 400% instead is a dick move in any language
