    Man, I went years without a cost of living increase… I told my landlord this, and that same year he raised my rent over 10% with only 60 days notice. That’s illegal in my state on two different levels. I met with an attorney, and the was basically nothing I could do that wouldn’t result in me needing to move out.

    At the time, the rent was really bad in the city. I could find a comparable place to live, but the moving cost and hassle was too high.

    This is how landlords do whatever the fuck they want and get away with it.
