My monthly rent just went up $200 and I'm still "lucky". [View all]

[no_hypocrisy]

1. My home of 30 years wasn't purchased by a Wall Street concern.
2. New owner/landlord will hereafter raise rent 3% annually.
3. I can afford to stay here with some budget adjustments.
4. Still the most affordable unit in the area.
5. New owner/landlord not kicking out the tenants to renovate and re-sell.
6. New owner/landlord having electrician re-wire the house as the original wiring is almost 90 years old.
