What to Do When Your Landlord Raises the Rent
Quote:
Unfair Rent Increases
If you think that your rent increase is unfair or is done in retaliation to get you to move, you can contact a landlord-tenant attorney in your state to talk about your options. An attorney familiar with the laws that pertain to tenant rights in your state will be necessary to move forward with defending yourself legally.

Rent Increases | Nolo
Some landlords are slum lords. I rented a cute studio apartment across the street from a park in a walkable neighborhood that I just loved. But, every year, my slumlord landlord increased rent by $85.00 so I could only afford to stay in that cute studio for 3 years before I had to move out.
