    I agree, there are many slumlords out there but not all are bad but if you're looking for safe, you spend more (usually) and if you're looking for comfort forget about it especially if you're living next to older couples, or ppl who dont like kids if you're a mother or parents looking for places to rent.

    Alot of people who dont pay their rent and get booted out because of unforeseen events and habits or noise complaints, usually ruin it for the quieter crowd which increases rent because its an unenjoyable environment.

    Everyone wants affordable housing but when you're called a riffraff which I've actually heard some landlords call ppl. It makes you wonder if its increased on purpose just to sell to the ones who's pockets are deeper than those on assistance. Again, reducing the affordable housing option because not only is rent 4 times it's worth in many places, its sickening.

    And if that's not bad enough theres places that actually want a credit check done which also runs it because unless u have money up the hoo hoo and wear fancy clothes they wont even look at you none the less look at your application.


    It should be regulated by however many bedrooms and appliances offered. I heard the other day a friend of mine pays less than 1050 a month. 2 bedroom, huge bathroom, decent size livingroom, walk through kitchen with a dishwasher and! A washer and dryer in unit....

    I'm paying 1085 plus I pay for my laundry (coinomatic) which averages about 60 a month because the machines always fail, dont spin or never dry. At 4.50 a wash& dry it gets expensive.

    I have no dishwasher, my fridge freezes and my stove us older than my grandmother. The lights flicker everytime I turn my hot water kettle on and if anything it's not worth 1085 with no balcony. But its expected to get to regulated standards? Or 1180????

    Sure I'm on a bus route but.... I'm also off the highway, live next to a convenience store and ppl walk by my window all the time looking in.

    It's just comfort over quality? When it should be comfort and quality
