The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

β€œWe know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

You mean, worse than you speak of landlords?

False dicotomy. People talk shit about landlords because of how they're treated by them. Landlords talk shit about tenants because they're pieces of shit which is the same reason they treat tenants like shit.

And how are they treated by them, exactly? Asked to pay for the space provided?
