@Sunshine In my jurisdiction, there are effectively no real protections for tenants. Landlords can unilaterally raise rents by any amount without limit, with every lease renewal. My landlord has raised my rent every year for the past 3 years, now, and the housing market is so tight that there are no realistic alternatives for non-wealthy people. In a society where most people are living paycheck-to-paycheck, a 90 day notice is all it takes to evict for no cause.
