Government Meddling With The Rent Part Two

Posted by Trevor on

As I previously wrote, my landlord was required to lower my monthly rent by 0.84% in accordance with the law because of a reduction in my landlord's property tax. My landlord did do this, reducing my rent by $3.26 per month.

Today, I received a notice from my landlord that, in accordance with the guidelines, my rent will increase on May 1st (earlier than I had expected) by the amount of $9.68. This 1.6 % increase not only erases the government mandated decrease of 0.84%, I will also be paying $6.39 per month more in rent than before the rent reduction.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, government needs to stay out of private business. Its meddling doesn't help matters.
