The ongoing wildfires have set off a stampede to find housing, leading some homeowners and property managers to raise rents higher than the 10% allowed during emergencies.
My partner is fully moving out of her place and putting it on the market for a year or two, fully furnished. We were living there maybe 4 months out of the year. Honestly I hope she’s able to make some extra cash on it but it’s mostly to make some housing available. Maybe we’re the evil landlords now?
This is lemmy. Even if you’re a decent landlord who rents at a fair price, doesn’t raise the rent, and does a great job maintaining the property, you’re still a scumbag.

There might be a good landlord out there somewhere, but I doubt they exist.
IMO, a personal landlord is rarely evil unless they’ve made a job of it.
