I own a few properties in Iowa and one in Pensacola FL. Never raised rent on a tenant or charged for application fees or late fees. Always gave the full deposit back. I try to not stress people financially especially if they are college students or have kids. In return the leave my property in better shape than I gave it to them. I could have made a few thousands more squeezing every penny out of them, but the sense of reward I get by treating them like humans is priceless to me.
I’m in the same boat. One property I could get at least $600 a month more but they have severe health problems. But now my taxes went up $500 one year alone! And the sky high insurance is next. If it goes from $2K to $4K then Imma hafta raise it I’m not running a charity. It’s a tough situation and my tenant takes beautiful care of my property which I will never get again!
@@nataliavillalvazo564 Natalia wake up. Do some research, you think this admin cares? They closed pipe lines and are buying oil from Russia while sending our money to Ukraine. No baby formula, inflation at its highest in decades. Crime is at it’s all time high, defund police and look WHO it hurts, minorities. Yeah love this current party.
It’s mostly corporation’s running apartment complexes especially the luxury ones they raise the rent so damn high it’s like buying a house except you can never own it
Life is complicated because our politicians make it complicated for us. You need to go through so much in order to qualify for a home that’s why people go to apartments because it’s less of a hassle but then again people that don’t have the proper credit score can’t buy a home even though they can afford 3,000 a month on rent can you imagine having a 520-560 and get denied for a home but you can get a nice apartment and pay more than you would On a house payment .
To the insensitive people in the comments saying “just buy a house” please stop. People can’t afford rent what makes you think they can afford a mortgage right now? The housing market is extremely competitive and these companies are buying up properties! People that can buy a house over bidding way over the asking. It’s unrealistic right now. Have some sympathy.
In areas surrounding NYC, rich people show up at houses for sale, the asking price plus $50,000 beyond, in cash! It goes to the highest bidder within 15 minutes. You can’t even rent a bunk in a boarding house for under $250 per week in NYC. That’s six to eight people to a bedroom with three such rooms sharing one bathroom off the hall, and no cooking or eating on premises. It’s also 100% illegal to do this, but when did that ever stop anyone?
It’s crazy how during the pandemic they put out a temporary moratorium for renters which people took advantage of but there is no relief for people who worked and paid all their bills during that time. There has to be something that can be done to help renters.
Exactly! We worked and paid the entire time, we did not take advantage & this is how our landlord repays us; raises our rent $700 to $2100 with barely 30 day notice to pay or vacate, knowing I was going thru a battle with cancer and trying to recover from major surgery, no mercy! Now in a Senior apt, & I'm seeing terror in their eyes as their rents are increasing above their fixed incomes, so sad.
most ppl took advantage of that and just wasnt paying rent what did they think was gone happen after this they could have payed something everybody got stimulus checks.
I paid the entire time also. I was hoping to buy a house but can’t find a house in my budget. Lets see what happens when my lease is up. 😩 $2100 I hope it’s not a 1 bedroom. DeSantis needs to stop fighting culture wars and help the residents of Florida.

But you were ok with landlords being told they couldn't evict pos scumbags for not paying their rent because of a flu bug weren't you? It's a 2 way street there bubba.
In the early 80's, I had the option to develop some family land and put mobile homes on it. I chose not to. I had seen first hand what landlords were going through at that time. My neighbor thought it was a good idea and put in 3 house trailers. I don't think he had one renter who did not screw him over-up until the day he passed away. From not paying rent after moving in, to just plain tearing the trailer up. He spent more money on court fee's for evictions and home repairs-than he ever made. Become a landlord with a heart and see how quick you are screwed over, then tell everyone landlords are evil.
I got an identical letter from my landlord last week. No option to renew, no reason why. I spoke to the leasing office and was told it's because they want to renovate the unit (it was renovated 2 years ago before I moved in) so they need me out. The "renovated" unit will be rented for $2489 (I currently pay $1850)
This should fall under price gouging and should be illegal , landlords should be allowed to raise it to a certain point but after awhile this is just profiteering and it's disgusting , expect more homeless people , and a lot of people living together and roommate situations just like in NYC unless your rich
That’s not fair for the landlord. If there costs raises for than 3% that’s not their fault. As small landlord my costs went up more than 3% for property taxes and home insurance. I usually raise rent base on that. To me that’s fair for landlords to charge the increase of property taxes and home insurance
This is so sad. I feel like Miami will be like L.A where there is homeless people everywhere because they can’t afford the rent. I’m so sorry these people have to go through this.
My guess is the landlord ran all tenants' credit again and applied the "income must exceed 3x rent" standard test based on the new rent. People who passed were offered a new lease, and those who didn't have to vacate.
Big corporations like Blackstone are in the housing business and they care about PROFITS! It’s disgusting because it will keep increasing to please their investors
I send my prayers and hope to these people. I was there in 2007. A few days before Thanksgiving that year, I was spending a quiet time at home. I had lived in that apartment for 16 years. So, I’m sitting there…comfortable…and I hear a paper be shoved under my door. Something told me it wasn’t good. After 16 years of perfect rent payment history and no complaints, the notice told me I had 60 days to get out. A few days before Thanksgiving, The property management company wanted me out so they could do capital improvements and raise the rent from the 1100 I was paying to 2000. Heartless and cruel. I know how these people feel. I do understand the need to make a profit, but I was a sure thing. A friend of mine who remained in the building told me that the property management company got their rent, but they ended up with a revolving door of tenants. They had to paint and recarpet each time (it’s a location where people tend to be picky). I hope they ended up losing money,

Feel free to enlighten me since your IQ is so high
@@allaboutroofing2 Absolutely not you can renew without raising rent you raise it because you want more $$ out of the person. A reasonable increase is 5 to 10% again its not necessary your tenant isn’t stealing from you continuing to pay their initial price.
I am a realtor in Miami Florida and finding affordable apartments for rent for my Clients has been absolute hell. Everyone has been moving because of the rent increase and anytime sometime remotely decent and affordable comes on the market it gets flooded with multiple offers 😩
Here's how I truly feel about the South, for years they spoke against raising the minimum wage cause they thought prices would rise and here we are now with everything across the board way up. Classic example of voting against your interests.
@@allaboutroofing2 how that small commissions if the rental is crazy in Miami. My understanding is they get one month in rent towards their commission. So if she or he does 10 rental property she probably getting 15-20k an month. Right now that smart thing to do when selling house is slowing down and rental is going up.
For every single person dealing with this, I'm saying a prayer for you. I dealt with this in Fort Lauderdale in 2018. And unfortunately, I couldn't change anything BUT it all worked out for me. I wish this on everybody. It's so unfair.
This is heartbreaking 💔. The landlords across the country are moving in unison and raising rents to levels unseen. They're quickly wiping out the middle class. Many people want their own, but more and more we're going to need to room just to meet the rate demands. Between inflation and gas prices we have to outsmart the trend. 1680 and 2,000 is not cheap rent.
Sorry peeps .... but we've GOT to take back our lives....we NEED to adopt more alternative housing lifestyles. We cannot (and should not) keep expecting greedy landlords to meet our needs. We need more people willing to live sustainably in RV's, cars, SUV's, vans, tents, land, etc., --- whatever it takes to reclaim your life. All people are better than being trashed by disturbing apartment mgmt. companies. (Yes, even the elderly, disabled, and people with kids, can live alternatively.) Ya just gotta research it.🤷
Well they will push the wrong person and it’s all over for them. Corner a person with nothing to lose and you can expect that. At least it’s free food and a room in prison
The governor is to blame for not implementing hard rent caps. A "bill of rights" for renters doesn't do anything. This is just blatantly stupid. I think the reason these landlords are doing this is to bleed the poor and middle class out of the apartments.

@@jillmarshall4718 no hun, I am a landlord and rent goes up as the market dictates. I got a 25% increase this April to cover the increase in property tax, homeowners insurance and labor costs of maintenance. Also to make additional profit since that's the market and my right. I'm not running a 401c, so tell me why I should charge below market value again? P.s. my other property renews in July and it's going up 30%. I know if the tenant doesn't want to pay that much, I'll have several dozen other applicants that will and little to no vacancy. It's not hard to find good tenants and the one that took advantage of the moratorium is already gone without an option to renew at any price. What goes around, comes around.
@@jillmarshall4718 You really should be blaming MASSIVE INFLATION and increases in demand, not your landlord. You won't find anything comparable for less, so you are going to have to DOWNSIZE or move to a less desirable area. Also, It's a lot more competitive applicant-wise, so don't be surprised if you don't qualify at all wherever you plan on moving unless its a different, cheaper area. Again, it's market driven.

This is sad, this is what comes with hyperinflation. The majority of us Americans are struggling through it. My neighbor with a wife a 2 daughters, had to move out because their landlord raised the rent 2k. This hyperinflation is out of control, something could be done about it, they don't want to because they want to ruin the middle class.
This is exactly what they , the investors , did in California. The big problem for Florida is there is no rent control. This is also property owners getting back for those who took advantage from not paying rent during the pandemic as well
Exactly. That’s one of the main reasons why this is a problem in Florida. There is no rent control or regulations on what a landlord can charge or increase the rent. Another problem in Florida is during the pandemic, people from New York and California moved to Florida since their jobs became WFH, and it helped drive the prices up because people from NY and CA were used to paying high housing costs. The issue with that is the people from NY and CA are still getting paid NY and CA wages so they can afford it, while the people in FL are getting paid FL wages (some of the lowest in the country), so they can’t afford it anymore. Yes, there are landlords who are “getting back” at the people who took advantage of the “no eviction” rule during the pandemic when they were fully able to pay their rent.
There’s nowhere to go in florida, I live in a small city, full of criminals, my apt complex is infested of roaches and even here the investors own everything and the rents are unaffordable
The less you own, the less you control. Eventually the market will swing the other direction where owners will compete for tenants by offering lower rent. It’s all cyclical.
There’s a reason why they call it the American dream. Exactly what it it is. A dream. Come to the realization that not everyone gets to live that lifestyle. Learn how to compromise. I make almost 80k a year and I still have a roommate. Do I need one? No. But it is nice to have that extra money to do the stuff that I want to do in life rather than slave over a 1700 dollar mortgage/rent.
I was homeless as a teenager, and a 10th grade high school dropout. I finally got tired enough of that to put my foot down and get back to a normal working life. Took low pay jobs, anything I could get. I got my GED, put myself through college (a state school with low tuition, and I got Pell grants and student aid). By age 35 I had independent financial means. If you want to make it, keep every dollar you can and only use money to INVEST, not to spend on anything else. Put money aside every month. You can put it in an S&P index fund and in 10, 20 years you will be in good shape. DON'T BLOW YOUR MONEY unless you come from money. Most of us don't. The good news is, in the USA, you don't have to. Always remember, you can do anything - including low paying jobs - that is TEMPORARY. Just have a plan to improve your situation. My plan was to attend college and get a degree that had jobs waiting when I graduated (engineering).
Praise God; I too am a 4 year heart attack survivor and I am 66 years old. Something like this regarding not having a place to stay is very stressful and it can increase your blood pressure contributing to your have a heart attack. Heart attacks are the number one killer oppose to all cancers.
@@allaboutroofing2 Your the type of landlord tenants don’t like. Yet the moment you are in foreclosure or your property is seized due to your inability to pay property taxes you want all the empathy and compassion in the world. I see you have been trolling many comments. The energy you give is the energy you’ll receive so don’t be surprised when you lose your property soon.
This is pure Greed on the part of landlord's across the country. I pray with all my heart and soul these people and others like them find a comfortable home to live out their days in peace.🙏🏾 Let God deal with there Wickedness of Greed...
The bill doesn't do anything to prevent the huge and unreasonable rate increases that are occurring all across Florida. There needs to be a cap enforced through legislation
In any Capitalist Economy, Rent Control Legislation is practically a Requirement to prevent cyclical, if not Predatory Rent increases where Affordable Housing is already scarce.
There should also be a cap on the cost of ice cream, healthcare, diapers, medicine, cars, gasoline, etc. Hell, the government should set prices on everything we buy, don't you think? That'll stop those greedy corporations from supplying our phones, cars, furniture, clothes, food, etc. If you think it's the government's job to make sure you have enough money to pay your bills, you must be a progressive Democrat.
Did you forget the eviction moratorium? Time for landlords to get payback. They have to make that money back some way. What did you think was going to happen?
@@captainalant so I guess you are going to hire private security when people are homeless and need food or money? What happens when crime goes up and your property value goes down? Of course I know people took advantage of the moratorium and Covid, but every action has a reaction. If people cannot survive economically, they will always turn to other ways to meet their needs.
@@SamuelClemente7718 I have a mortgage and sometimes rent out my extra room in my condo. That’s risk too. I understand raising rents or getting fair market value, but some people are being really cruel and outrageous.
Wait, the rent went up $1500 or up TO $1500? If it went up $1500 above what you paid before, that requires at least 30 days notice in every state, 60 days in many. Also, Did you pay rent on time thru the moratorium?
Yeah here in Texas I just got a notice ours is going up $565 from $1300 to $1865 for a 2bd apartment if we resign and if month to month $2500. Are these people insane. I feel like the big ups have formed a plan to put folks back in to SLAVERY and it will not be because of color it is just based on wealth.
It’s not easy to find any type of housing in pretty much any part of Florida these days, Everyone moves to Florida from other states, so even if you find a place you really have to get it quickly because homes don’t last long before some snatches it up. It’s sad that people are being forced to leave there own apartment.
Our rent went up $133. Last year it was just $40. While that is still alot feel grateful and blessed that we were not hit like some others across the country. Prayers for everyone.
This is exactly why I trying to move out of South Florida. There needs to be a price cap on reality because this is insane the amount they want for the bare minimum is ridiculous
They can gouge renter’s now,however I’m sure the bottom will fall out eventually. Their greed will leave them with fewer and fewer potential renter’s. For the amount these people are paying for rent, they cold own their own homes.
I have worked for several large apartment communities in Florida in the past. Apartment communities are not in the business to get rid of tenants, but try to keep good paying tenants. I question why if this couple are good tenants, and are able to pay as they claim why are they getting a non renewal. I believe there is probably more to this story then the couple are telling..
This is across the whole US. People are moving into RVs, trailers, cars and tents because there are no options. Also across the US they are passing laws making living in a vehicle or "homeless" camping illegal. People still have to work so they stay in town. Because there is no community support or understanding they are also losing their jobs or forced to quit. Living this way it is hard to find a place to throw away garbage. Many people don't realize that most places lock up their trash. It only takes a few days to build up to much for a store garbage can and then you have a dilemma of where to put the trash. So it begins to pile up. Most people intend to get back into housing but it is very easy to spiral down when you are homeless. They were in a house and they do not want to lose all their possessions too! So they bring them which adds to the rubbish problem. You need water to eat, bath and toilet. The places people can park has no water. It doesn't take long to start getting dirty. Many businesses treat you horrible if you come in dirty. So does society. But there is limited places to bath or do laundry. Making everything worse. This is a major humanitarian problem in the US and the CHURCH not only has the resources but they are also morally obligated to help. Any Christian who is not helping people in crisis, the homeless, the widowed and the fatherless are mere churchians. 75% of americans profess to be Christian. Over 250 Million of them. I think they forgot what Jesus said.
Yes inflation effects everyone in every state and city. Remember that in 2024 and maybe don't vote based on false promises for forgiving student debt and stimulus that only makes the problems greater.
Hey, I see a lot tenets hate landlord but don’t see the other side of things. I agree with those of you guys about how landlords are taking advantage of the situation however they trying to recover from the losses during cov. On the other note I’m small landlord that like to maintain the house, to continue maintaining the house I need to increase rent base on the two things that always raising up. Property taxes and home insurance. As landlords we can’t eat those costs every year because we would be running a charity.

I might add we are now renters as we lost our home,trying to help someone who screwed us, and a health care system demanding payment for hospital bill co-pay be payed in full within a yea asking for over 300$ a month, so it became a choice over that or food.If our rent is raised, we will be in the same situation.

I am glad cities like Washington, D.C. and New York City have rent control laws. If they didn't, many people would be homeless due to gentrification and skyrocketing rents. I hate the term affordable housing politicians use because the housing is not affordable at least not in Washington, DC. I prefer the term low cost housing.
It’s just my opinion but i feel like they won’t be happy until the middle class/lower middle class whatever you want to call it. (Anybody other than the rich) are homeless.

Our office rent just keeps going up as we have our own business. It doesn’t make us money as we have to borrow large amounts of money every new year. I’m terminally ill and unable to work so it would be impossible for my wife to move to a new building as they hold payments for services for one full year if you change your address. We did it once already. Luckily it was before I became ill and I had a nice car and motorcycle collection I sold to pay office staff and rent. I live in Northern California and you can’t rent much of anything for $2,000.00 for a place to live.
If you’re ill and unable to work, and constantly borrowing....then it’s time to sell the business or retire? Why continue this? No disrespect intended.
And people keep critizing San Francisco about its homeless. This is how it happened, folks! Lower and middle class people get kicked out of flats and apartments they have lived for years because owners sell the flats to developers and they turn them into condos!

Ms. Lewis may have to seek an attorney. She and her companion are supposed to be given an opportunity to renew their lease. There are laws related to this; so, the property management company seems to be breaking a law. Thanks for doing this story.
There's no obligation/law for a landlord to renew a lease. It's a set period and either party can terminate at lease end. I almost guarantee you they stopped paying rent during covid and it came back to bite them in the ass. That or their income is too low to qualify for the new lease terms. 🤷 Notice how they can't find a affordable alternative? That's because new rent amounts are current market value. I also bet they have no problembrerenting at the new pricing. That's life.
A landlord in my immediate area just put up all 20 of his single family homes up forsale today. I feel so bad for the renters. He's selling all 20 homes as a portfolio package and refused to break them up.
Maybe everyone can stay in place then or maybe he got tired of people stiffing him. A man I knew owned 10 and is so angry at the people that refuse to pay that he is selling them all.
Yup. Their properry taxes went up. casH buyers.. buy all the houses. Fed raised interest r ates.. the landlord has a chance to make a huge profit and retire.
@@VelveteenRabbit77 I can't blame him for that. I was always a good tenant, even with pets I was able to find good housing. I don't understand people who are disrespectful to others
There is no housing shortage. The crisis was created by greedy investors and landlords that were pushed to recover their losses after the rent and mortgage forbearance.
Our landlord said he needed market rate and raised our rent $700 up to $2100 or 30 days to move, even knew I was going thru cancer & in the middle of a major surgery. Perfect rental history, made repairs and maintained the property. I remember when the property sat vacant for a long time! We took such care this home but some CA were willing to pay more & as he put it "Business is business" he needs "market rate" no mercy, just greed going on here in AZ
It’s about greed. Property prices have increased all over. Just recently a apartment building was sold new ours tried eviction notice to some tenants so they could renovate apartments for price increase. Most of the apartments have been renovated already prior to sale. They got rudely awakened when people started questioning the eviction notices, it’s wrong and they were to met with lawsuits. Then they dropped the evictions and asked tenants to be out by certain dates. New owners think about becoming millionaires over night, bad idea. Increases have been because property taxes, real estate jumps in prices, even insurance companies have been increasing their premiums. So yeah is it really greed or because of government? Remember everything has gone up, and who was behind that?
This is happening everywhere. But nothing is being done about wages, anywhere as well. Unless you owned a house before all this happened then it's quite challenging.
This is why it is important to OWN and not rent. If you rent, then you are at the mercy of the building's owner and their rules. If you OWN, then you are the master and make the rules. A renter is someone purchasing time and space, neither of which is anything solid to be held onto.
Wages did go up slightly when everyone stayed home making more from unemployment. All corporate america did was raise the prices of things so were back to square one...maybe negative one.
@@marcusvision You wouldn't have been able to do that in the 1950's either. Some jobs were only ever meant to be starting jobs for young people still in school. Fast food is one of those types of jobs. Mowing lawns is another. People aren't supposed to stay in those jobs and afford to make a living. The fast food jobs were just to get a kid used to working, get them a little experience, and earn some pocket money. That is what they were meant for. Most service jobs were meant to be low paid, low skilled, temporarily-held jobs. Manufacturing was where the money was that people were supposed to work in to afford a home and to live, then it got shipped overseas and the service industry took over. Now, it is the information industry, but like the service industry, although it needs more skill, it doesn't pay well. Manufacturing is the money maker.
Four reasons landlords have to raise rents: 1) recover massive losses from the moratoriums; 2) huge increases in insurance costs especially in Florida; 3) huge increases in property taxes; 4) expected increases in federal taxes; and 5) to keep up with the rest of the market just the same way that they have to lower rents if the market falls.
Their old bones can't take the cold anymore and they seek out the heat of the longer warm seasons of the South. It is not just the American Dream of owning a home that people have, but Old People dreams of playing with their grandkids on beaches. That is why they specifically choose places like Florida. They created the demand for rental space and housing, now they are reaping what they've sown.
Same thing happened to us and every other tentant with kids in our community. Were now being forced to pay 2000+ somewhere else up from $1325. Because we have kids and work from home we can't downgrade and logically FIT into a small 700 sq ft 2 bedroom so it's either buy in this overpriced market or rent at 2000+
You should really look into buying... you'll realize that besides needing a huge down payment, with property taxes, rising interest rates and homeowners insurance, the cost per month is about the same as renting, or often times more. Blame inflation. Biden administration created this with memorandums, removing domestic oil independence and printing money like it wouldn't come back on everyone. If you can't afford the rent, you definitely won't be able to or qualify to buy in the current market with no end insight for more increases.
Florida needs a steady in flux of victims for its criminal population to prey on, they are trying to bring in people that still have stuff worth stealing
This is absolutely ridiculous! They should feel ashamed, especially doing this to eldery people! They could raise the rent acouple hundred and still make a huge profit, but they are just being straight up greedy! It's disgusting! I hope they all find homes soon, at a manageable price!
I mean the people of miami voted for white liberal democrats, they welcomed in the tech industry from silicon valley with their high incomes, now everything is raising in prices to make more money off the new wealthier residents coming from the tech industry, now the same people that voted for the white liberal democrats are wondering why this is happening??? smh...
@@divinelycreated4him Correct. Most of the time in order to "get ahead" people are doing abominable things in secret while pretending to be "righteous" while looking down on others. Scammers everywhere.
This was gonna happen, after so many didn’t pay rent during the pandemic. Even with help and means too. This and greed are going to make it a “hot summer”. Hyperinflation is coming y’all stay safe. Violence is small of what’s happening now, compared to what’s to come.
@@emmajones7492 Never said it was. I said it's a response by those who own rental properties, that was foreshadowed when so many complained about not being paid rent. Cause and effect.
@@greenearthblueskies8556 We saw in the town next to us on the news these lowlife renters refused absolutely REFUSED to leave saying they didn’t have to pay but the crying building owner that was going under STILL had to make every bank payment! He said he was going to loose the building thanks to the freeloaders. They could have gone back home for awhile but nope, they wanted to stay and bankrupt him. Some that borrowed against their investments have to raise rents to recover that money.
This is sad but ppl forget landlords have bills too! Did you guys forget during the eviction moratorium they don’t get anything for like a year plus …not to mention fees roads of taxes and still pay their own bills , now you have Cali and NY residents moving south to them 2100 a month is a dream ..for us southerners a nightmare I still remember when a 1bed/1bath was 800 a month
Things matter me re than people in America especially money it trump's all else including human life . America is demonic they create endless human suffering instead of uplifting it's people.
It's time to move. Florida is a nice state, but not if this sweet couple has to pay crazy renting prices. Florida just priced themselves out of the renting market, so it looks like there will be lots of EMPTY UNITS at this residence. Sadly Florida isn't the only state doing this either. Praying they find a safe place to live and enjoy their retirement years.
The massive rent hikes imposed by greedy management companies / landlords should be capped at 1%- 2% at each lease renewal. Also, a law that caps the rent at 30% for a low income person. Every person has the innate right to have a place to call home. Instead, children, their hard working mother's, veterans, disabled, hard working professionals, and elderly people are being put out on the streets. As one of the richest nations on the planet we must be the laughing stock for the rest of the world. This is absolutely heartbreaking!
I feel for them so much. ❤️ I’m trying to buy my rental right now and I’m awake all night with my stomach in knots trying to figure out how to raise closing costs on a surprise real estate purchase so my babies will have a roof over their heads. The stress is unreal. 😓
I saved and used my tax refund and bought my house. Of course the seller paid the closing cost. Look into the USDA, they also have a program for home buying…..
The president needs to be a shame of his self for letting this happen these people are price gouging everyone just needs to buy a RV and leave all apartments and houses vacant to teach them a lesson
The tenant is asking for rent cap. & Florida outlawed the idea of rent control decades ago. Not one county or city is allowed to install a rent control ordinance. That is awful.
@@armchaireconomist8648 LOL, even that's not stable. Prices are too high, property taxes have increased significantly, in Florida home owners insurance companies are leaving the State. The nationwide salaries have been watered down in value in various industries for the past 3 decades. Then, when the minimum wage was increased, the pandemic took its hardest hit in industries, forcing single parents to quite, or forced one parent to stay home while the other now has to support the family while inflation is soaring. Then you had the great resignation. People reevaluated their worth, moved in massive numbers driving rents and home prices up. What followed after? Gas, building materials, and everything else. To afford a home at an average sale price of $700K, you need to be making $165K a year, have $60K as a down payment with a credit of 720 to get an FHA rate of 4.55% or a conventional loan at 5.99%. Here is the reality, the average US salary is at $56,310, with a median wage of $20.17 an hour. Buying is not an option here. Double it for a couple, they still can't afford to buy.
The best option for most people is to move with that of a family member, split the utilities cost for about a year and save to get their own mortgage. It's less stressful! The neighborhoods that once were at it's lowest rent to live in many, years ago. Unfortunately aren't at it's lowest anymore! And unfortunately most people like the homeless, the retirement, the people on social security, etc... Are still hoping for that residential community to be built that once cared!
Don't worry Miami Commissioners passed a law that doesn't stop Rent hikes but gives you a NOTICE. THANKS for the get out notes posted on the door. And they just approved A new Soccer stadium with Luxury hotels. Thank mayor's Suarez & Cava
500 dollar increase. How can anybody cope with increases like that. I have had a tenant for 20 years and they are so good that the rent they pay for 2 /1 on a golf course is 1600 per month. I feel i am making a profit while not charging a huge amount. The property is in Jacaranda which is a very good area. Landlords should have a little heart. It is okay to make a profit but people need a place to live as well.
Greed. It's the American way. American Capitalism isn't about providing consumers with value for their dollars spent. It's about extracting the most dollars from consumers and providing little to no value to the consumer.
ALL businesses are about making money for the owner(s) of the business, nothing more. There is no point to having the business if it is not making as much as possible for the owner(s). Only charities are concerned about the client. So long as there are consumers willing and able to purchase the product, then the business will continue until there are no longer consumers willing and/or able to make the purchase. The one's who can afford it will get. The one's who can't afford it, will not get.
I don’t see how people have the nerve not pay where they’re staying. Now, the rent increase is absolutely ridiculous. I never skipped a beat during Covid, and I’m sorry that you as a landlord had to experience this.
Also a landlord here. I’m thinking they did this because they were late with rent? And they got the boot? You can only allow so much before you need your money.
Actually, fear is the root of all evil. Greed comes from fear, the fear that you can never have too much money and possessions in order to be "safe" in this world.
I own a few properties in Iowa and one in Pensacola FL. Never raised rent on a tenant or charged for application fees or late fees. Always gave the full deposit back. I try to not stress people financially especially if they are college students or have kids. In return the leave my property in better shape than I gave it to them. I could have made a few thousands more squeezing every penny out of them, but the sense of reward I get by treating them like humans is priceless to me.
I’m in the same boat. One property I could get at least $600 a month more but they have severe health problems. But now my taxes went up $500 one year alone! And the sky high insurance is next. If it goes from $2K to $4K then Imma hafta raise it I’m not running a charity. It’s a tough situation and my tenant takes beautiful care of my property which I will never get again!

It's complicated..
Life is complicated because our politicians make it complicated for us. You need to go through so much in order to qualify for a home that’s why people go to apartments because it’s less of a hassle but then again people that don’t have the proper credit score can’t buy a home even though they can afford 3,000 a month on rent can you imagine having a 520-560 and get denied for a home but you can get a nice apartment and pay more than you would On a house payment .
It’s a free market. If you can’t afford it, move
To the insensitive people in the comments saying “just buy a house” please stop. People can’t afford rent what makes you think they can afford a mortgage right now? The housing market is extremely competitive and these companies are buying up properties! People that can buy a house over bidding way over the asking. It’s unrealistic right now. Have some sympathy.
In areas surrounding NYC, rich people show up at houses for sale, the asking price plus $50,000 beyond, in cash! It goes to the highest bidder within 15 minutes. You can’t even rent a bunk in a boarding house for under $250 per week in NYC. That’s six to eight people to a bedroom with three such rooms sharing one bathroom off the hall, and no cooking or eating on premises. It’s also 100% illegal to do this, but when did that ever stop anyone?

Thank you.
It’s crazy how during the pandemic they put out a temporary moratorium for renters which people took advantage of but there is no relief for people who worked and paid all their bills during that time. There has to be something that can be done to help renters.
Exactly! We worked and paid the entire time, we did not take advantage & this is how our landlord repays us; raises our rent $700 to $2100 with barely 30 day notice to pay or vacate, knowing I was going thru a battle with cancer and trying to recover from major surgery, no mercy! Now in a Senior apt, & I'm seeing terror in their eyes as their rents are increasing above their fixed incomes, so sad.
most ppl took advantage of that and just wasnt paying rent what did they think was gone happen after this they could have payed something everybody got stimulus checks.
I paid the entire time also. I was hoping to buy a house but can’t find a house in my budget. Lets see what happens when my lease is up. 😩 $2100 I hope it’s not a 1 bedroom. DeSantis needs to stop fighting culture wars and help the residents of Florida.

That’s not fair for the landlord. If there costs raises for than 3% that’s not their fault. As small landlord my costs went up more than 3% for property taxes and home insurance. I usually raise rent base on that. To me that’s fair for landlords to charge the increase of property taxes and home insurance

This is heartbreaking 💔. The landlords across the country are moving in unison and raising rents to levels unseen. They're quickly wiping out the middle class.

This is exactly what they , the investors , did in California. The big problem for Florida is there is no rent control. This is also property owners getting back for those who took advantage from not paying rent during the pandemic as well
Could people move some place where rent is cheaper? Florida is a hot spot and hot spots tend to become pricier. Like all trends, they are expensive.
Exactly. That’s one of the main reasons why this is a problem in Florida. There is no rent control or regulations on what a landlord can charge or increase the rent.
Another problem in Florida is during the pandemic, people from New York and California moved to Florida since their jobs became WFH, and it helped drive the prices up because people from NY and CA were used to paying high housing costs. The issue with that is the people from NY and CA are still getting paid NY and CA wages so they can afford it, while the people in FL are getting paid FL wages (some of the lowest in the country), so they can’t afford it anymore.
Yes, there are landlords who are “getting back” at the people who took advantage of the “no eviction” rule during the pandemic when they were fully able to pay their rent.
There’s nowhere to go in florida, I live in a small city, full of criminals, my apt complex is infested of roaches and even here the investors own everything and the rents are unaffordable
The less you own, the less you control. Eventually the market will swing the other direction where owners will compete for tenants by offering lower rent. It’s all cyclical.

I was homeless as a teenager, and a 10th grade high school dropout. I finally got tired enough of that to put my foot down and get back to a normal working life. Took low pay jobs, anything I could get. I got my GED, put myself through college (a state school with low tuition, and I got Pell grants and student aid).
By age 35 I had independent financial means. If you want to make it, keep every dollar you can and only use money to INVEST, not to spend on anything else. Put money aside every month. You can put it in an S&P index fund and in 10, 20 years you will be in good shape.
DON'T BLOW YOUR MONEY unless you come from money. Most of us don't. The good news is, in the USA, you don't have to. Always remember, you can do anything - including low paying jobs - that is TEMPORARY. Just have a plan to improve your situation. My plan was to attend college and get a degree that had jobs waiting when I graduated (engineering).
My 69-year-old Aunt is going through the same thing in Ohio, I am trying to keep her calm because she had a heart attack a year ago.
Praise God; I too am a 4 year heart attack survivor and I am 66 years old. Something like this regarding not having a place to stay is very stressful and it can increase your blood pressure contributing to your have a heart attack. Heart attacks are the number one killer oppose to all cancers.
On the upside, cost of living isn't an issue if you croak.

This is pure Greed on the part of landlord's across the country. I pray with all my heart and soul these people and others like them find a comfortable home to live out their days in peace.🙏🏾 Let God deal with there Wickedness of Greed...
Landlors or u mean America?
I don’t think it’s “ greed” the expenses for landlords have also gone up which is why they’ve been increasing rent
Unchecked capitalism at the expense of the working and lower class, it's the American way.
The bill doesn't do anything to prevent the huge and unreasonable rate increases that are occurring all across Florida. There needs to be a cap enforced through legislation
To bad. Should never of had a rent free, eviction moratorium crap. Well the landlords are getting payback.
Lawmakers are bed buddies with corporate landlords
In any Capitalist Economy, Rent Control Legislation is practically a Requirement to prevent cyclical, if not Predatory Rent increases where Affordable Housing is already scarce.
Good luck with that
There should also be a cap on the cost of ice cream, healthcare, diapers, medicine, cars, gasoline, etc. Hell, the government should set prices on everything we buy, don't you think? That'll stop those greedy corporations from supplying our phones, cars, furniture, clothes, food, etc. If you think it's the government's job to make sure you have enough money to pay your bills, you must be a progressive Democrat.
It's called Greed.
Did you forget the eviction moratorium? Time for landlords to get payback. They have to make that money back some way. What did you think was going to happen?
@@captainalant so I guess you are going to hire private security when people are homeless and need food or money? What happens when crime goes up and your property value goes down? Of course I know people took advantage of the moratorium and Covid, but every action has a reaction. If people cannot survive economically, they will always turn to other ways to meet their needs.
I'm a landlord in Florida. We risk a lot
@@SamuelClemente7718 I have a mortgage and sometimes rent out my extra room in my condo. That’s risk too. I understand raising rents or getting fair market value, but some people are being really cruel and outrageous.
@@476233 now a days any handy man charges $60 an hour! Anything goes wrong with the unit the landlord PAYS! I'm not doing this to be generous
This is absolutely getting out of hand. My rent went up $1500 and we are only getting a 1 week notice before we need to sign again.
Where is this? My landlord told me that by law they need to give us a 60-day notice if the rent increase is more than 5%. I’m in Miami Beach.
That's ridiculous..🤬😡🤬
Why pay rent when you can live inside of your car for free.
Wait, the rent went up $1500 or up TO $1500? If it went up $1500 above what you paid before, that requires at least 30 days notice in every state, 60 days in many. Also, Did you pay rent on time thru the moratorium?
Yeah here in Texas I just got a notice ours is going up $565 from $1300 to $1865 for a 2bd apartment if we resign and if month to month $2500. Are these people insane. I feel like the big ups have formed a plan to put folks back in to SLAVERY and it will not be because of color it is just based on wealth.
It’s not easy to find any type of housing in pretty much any part of Florida these days, Everyone moves to Florida from other states, so even if you find a place you really have to get it quickly because homes don’t last long before some snatches it up. It’s sad that people are being forced to leave there own apartment.
It is not their "own" apartment though. It is the owners' apartment, not the tenant's.
Our rent went up $133. Last year it was just $40. While that is still alot feel grateful and blessed that we were not hit like some others across the country. Prayers for everyone.
This is exactly why I trying to move out of South Florida. There needs to be a price cap on reality because this is insane the amount they want for the bare minimum is ridiculous
Where are you looking to relocate?
They can gouge renter’s now,however I’m sure the bottom will fall out eventually. Their greed will leave them with fewer and fewer potential renter’s.
For the amount these people are paying for rent, they cold own their own homes.
Doesn't matter where you go in florida, you will not find cheap rent. Too many people came here and now there is no space left.
@@anterabeltran5990 You must of forgot the illegal eviction moratorium that people took advantage of.
@@marvelharris9540 There are a lot of spaces left, thing is people can't afford those rents
This is wrong and greedy. They won’t get away with it . They’re going to lose even more money in the end . This is sick .
Just how many notices for non renewal of leases were handed out, and how many were to older tenants?
Good question.
I picked up on that too! Since they are on a fixed income that are basically giving them the boot!
@@nikkirene397 That's purely speculative. Maybe they didn't pay their rent during covid and took advantage of them moratorium?
@@allaboutroofing2 They said they've never missed payments.
I have worked for several large apartment communities in Florida in the past. Apartment communities are not in the business to get rid of tenants, but try to keep good paying tenants. I question why if this couple are good tenants, and are able to pay as they claim why are they getting a non renewal. I believe there is probably more to this story then the couple are telling..
This is across the whole US. People are moving into RVs, trailers, cars and tents because there are no options. Also across the US they are passing laws making living in a vehicle or "homeless" camping illegal. People still have to work so they stay in town. Because there is no community support or understanding they are also losing their jobs or forced to quit.
Living this way it is hard to find a place to throw away garbage. Many people don't realize that most places lock up their trash. It only takes a few days to build up to much for a store garbage can and then you have a dilemma of where to put the trash. So it begins to pile up.
Most people intend to get back into housing but it is very easy to spiral down when you are homeless. They were in a house and they do not want to lose all their possessions too! So they bring them which adds to the rubbish problem.
You need water to eat, bath and toilet. The places people can park has no water. It doesn't take long to start getting dirty. Many businesses treat you horrible if you come in dirty. So does society. But there is limited places to bath or do laundry. Making everything worse.
This is a major humanitarian problem in the US and the CHURCH not only has the resources but they are also morally obligated to help. Any Christian who is not helping people in crisis, the homeless, the widowed and the fatherless are mere churchians.
75% of americans profess to be Christian. Over 250 Million of them. I think they forgot what Jesus said.
In the town I live, the churches do the minimum.

And those will be culled eventually by the nwo
I'm curious... are you a Christian yourself?
My last lease renewal here in Phoenix Az went up by $375. This is CRAZY!! its happening everywhere🤦♂️
Yes inflation effects everyone in every state and city. Remember that in 2024 and maybe don't vote based on false promises for forgiving student debt and stimulus that only makes the problems greater.
Hey, I see a lot tenets hate landlord but don’t see the other side of things. I agree with those of you guys about how landlords are taking advantage of the situation however they trying to recover from the losses during cov. On the other note I’m small landlord that like to maintain the house, to continue maintaining the house I need to increase rent base on the two things that always raising up. Property taxes and home insurance. As landlords we can’t eat those costs every year because we would be running a charity.

Shopping in big box stores, people blocking asiles to chat, and become verbally insulting , if you say , excuse me,to get through.

We continue working at what we can, enjoy life together. However being questioned and insulted, because we take precautios? My husband and I both had covid, I was hospitalized, we were exposed, "along with two other friends, at the same time" by a person who refused to take any precautions, and came to church sick with covid.,And made fun of those wearing masks, just by attending church and removing masks to sing for others. I have NEVER questioned or commented to anyone for the choices they make. but do not recieve the same respect, and By the way my car has been hit 3 times in a year, in the same parking lot, all three times no responsebility taken.

Because rent is already a crime in those 2 places. Luckily New York STATE has a rent increase limit too.

Ms. Lewis may have to seek an attorney. She and her companion are supposed to be given an opportunity to renew their lease. There are laws related to this; so, the property management company seems to be breaking a law. Thanks for doing this story.
There's no obligation/law for a landlord to renew a lease. It's a set period and either party can terminate at lease end. I almost guarantee you they stopped paying rent during covid and it came back to bite them in the ass. That or their income is too low to qualify for the new lease terms. 🤷 Notice how they can't find a affordable alternative? That's because new rent amounts are current market value. I also bet they have no problembrerenting at the new pricing. That's life.
A landlord in my immediate area just put up all 20 of his single family homes up forsale today. I feel so bad for the renters. He's selling all 20 homes as a portfolio package and refused to break them up.

There is no housing shortage. The crisis was created by greedy investors and landlords that were pushed to recover their losses after the rent and mortgage forbearance.
Our landlord said he needed market rate and raised our rent $700 up to $2100 or 30 days to move, even knew I was going thru cancer & in the middle of a major surgery. Perfect rental history, made repairs and maintained the property. I remember when the property sat vacant for a long time! We took such care this home but some CA were willing to pay more & as he put it "Business is business" he needs "market rate" no mercy, just greed going on here in AZ
It’s about greed. Property prices have increased all over. Just recently a apartment building was sold new ours tried eviction notice to some tenants so they could renovate apartments for price increase. Most of the apartments have been renovated already prior to sale. They got rudely awakened when people started questioning the eviction notices, it’s wrong and they were to met with lawsuits. Then they dropped the evictions and asked tenants to be out by certain dates. New owners think about becoming millionaires over night, bad idea. Increases have been because property taxes, real estate jumps in prices, even insurance companies have been increasing their premiums. So yeah is it really greed or because of government?
Remember everything has gone up, and who was behind that?
This is happening everywhere. But nothing is being done about wages, anywhere as well. Unless you owned a house before all this happened then it's quite challenging.
This is why it is important to OWN and not rent. If you rent, then you are at the mercy of the building's owner and their rules. If you OWN, then you are the master and make the rules. A renter is someone purchasing time and space, neither of which is anything solid to be held onto.
Wages did go up slightly when everyone stayed home making more from unemployment. All corporate america did was raise the prices of things so were back to square one...maybe negative one.
@@laurie7689 easier said than done this isn't the 50s or older when you could work at McDonald's and own a home 🙄.
@@marcusvision You wouldn't have been able to do that in the 1950's either. Some jobs were only ever meant to be starting jobs for young people still in school. Fast food is one of those types of jobs. Mowing lawns is another. People aren't supposed to stay in those jobs and afford to make a living. The fast food jobs were just to get a kid used to working, get them a little experience, and earn some pocket money. That is what they were meant for. Most service jobs were meant to be low paid, low skilled, temporarily-held jobs. Manufacturing was where the money was that people were supposed to work in to afford a home and to live, then it got shipped overseas and the service industry took over. Now, it is the information industry, but like the service industry, although it needs more skill, it doesn't pay well. Manufacturing is the money maker.
Four reasons landlords have to raise rents: 1) recover massive losses from the moratoriums; 2) huge increases in insurance costs especially in Florida; 3) huge increases in property taxes; 4) expected increases in federal taxes; and 5) to keep up with the rest of the market just the same way that they have to lower rents if the market falls.
from 1600 to 2100 that is a 40% increase, there is no way that any taxes or insurance raised so fast. There is no way.
So many of these retired Florida couples could easily afford a beautiful dream home in Rockford Illinois
Their old bones can't take the cold anymore and they seek out the heat of the longer warm seasons of the South. It is not just the American Dream of owning a home that people have, but Old People dreams of playing with their grandkids on beaches. That is why they specifically choose places like Florida. They created the demand for rental space and housing, now they are reaping what they've sown.
Same thing happened to us and every other tentant with kids in our community. Were now being forced to pay 2000+ somewhere else up from $1325. Because we have kids and work from home we can't downgrade and logically FIT into a small 700 sq ft 2 bedroom so it's either buy in this overpriced market or rent at 2000+
You should really look into buying... you'll realize that besides needing a huge down payment, with property taxes, rising interest rates and homeowners insurance, the cost per month is about the same as renting, or often times more. Blame inflation. Biden administration created this with memorandums, removing domestic oil independence and printing money like it wouldn't come back on everyone. If you can't afford the rent, you definitely won't be able to or qualify to buy in the current market with no end insight for more increases.
The two most destructive forces of any living space are: children and pets. People with either should pay more.

That's the problem with renting. They can throw your a*s out just like that. We can fight it, but no matter what we gotta go.
The massive rent hikes imposed by greedy management companies / landlords should be capped at 1%- 2% at each lease renewal. Also, a law that caps the rent at 30% for a low income person. Every person has the innate right to have a place to call home. Instead, children, their hard working mother's, veterans, disabled, hard working professionals, and elderly people are being put out on the streets.

You get the absolute richest tenants that you can attract. Milk those cash cows for everything that you can get. Then, sell off the business.
I live in Florida too, and my apartment rent went up almost 40% this year, and seems that next year will be more expensive and I'll have to leave....
I feel for them so much. ❤️ I’m trying to buy my rental right now and I’m awake all night with my stomach in knots trying to figure out how to raise closing costs on a surprise real estate purchase so my babies will have a roof over their heads. The stress is unreal. 😓
I saved and used my tax refund and bought my house. Of course the seller paid the closing cost. Look into the USDA, they also have a program for home buying…..
Some cities help first time home buyers with closing costs
Seems like their forcing homelessness 🤔
The president needs to be a shame of his self for letting this happen these people are price gouging everyone just needs to buy a RV and leave all apartments and houses vacant to teach them a lesson
until the parks and landowners start charging you rent to park your rv
I have relatives where I can park my RV for free
I got a RV for sale diesel 45 ft.
as usual with all governments you are under a rich persons dictatorship james chapter five
Always someone else’s fault...noooooo you’re responsible for your own life. ...not politicians...we all know they don’t gaf
The tenant is asking for rent cap. & Florida outlawed the idea of rent control decades ago. Not one county or city is allowed to install a rent control ordinance. That is awful.
If you want stable housing prices get a mortgage.
That’s why you voted for DiSantis the King 🤴 of raising taxes. 🤣🤣🤣
@@armchaireconomist8648 LOL, even that's not stable. Prices are too high, property taxes have increased significantly, in Florida home owners insurance companies are leaving the State. The nationwide salaries have been watered down in value in various industries for the past 3 decades.
Then, when the minimum wage was increased, the pandemic took its hardest hit in industries, forcing single parents to quite, or forced one parent to stay home while the other now has to support the family while inflation is soaring.
Then you had the great resignation. People reevaluated their worth, moved in massive numbers driving rents and home prices up.
What followed after? Gas, building materials, and everything else.
To afford a home at an average sale price of $700K, you need to be making $165K a year, have $60K as a down payment with a credit of 720 to get an FHA rate of 4.55% or a conventional loan at 5.99%.
Here is the reality, the average US salary is at $56,310, with a median wage of $20.17 an hour. Buying is not an option here. Double it for a couple, they still can't afford to buy.
@@greenearthblueskies8556 I don't live in Florida. Never would I vote republican. Especially in Florida.
@@greenearthblueskies8556 Desantis did not raise taxes. He even lowerd taxes on some necessaties.
I feel like they’re clearing ppl out to sale it to foreigners
Chinese buyers
Americans are broke!
No, the tech industry workers.
@@LAAM619 so let's blame the people that actually WORK!! come on man.
@@SamuelClemente7718 lol must be a tech worker.
These property managers have no conscience. Karma will catch up to them.
The best option for most people is to move with that of a family member, split the utilities cost for about a year and save to get their own mortgage. It's less stressful!
The neighborhoods that once were at it's lowest rent to live in many, years ago. Unfortunately aren't at it's lowest anymore! And unfortunately most people like the homeless, the retirement, the people on social security, etc...
Are still hoping for that residential community to be built that once cared!
Don't worry Miami Commissioners passed a law that doesn't stop Rent hikes but gives you a NOTICE. THANKS for the get out notes posted on the door. And they just approved A new Soccer stadium with Luxury hotels. Thank mayor's Suarez & Cava
Yeah thanks..😡🙄🤬
500 dollar increase. How can anybody cope with increases like that. I have had a tenant for 20 years and they are so good that the rent they pay for 2 /1 on a golf course is 1600 per month. I feel i am making a profit while not charging a huge amount. The property is in Jacaranda which is a very good area. Landlords should have a little heart. It is okay to make a profit but people need a place to live as well.
Their also throw out good paying renters. Prices can’t just go up indefinitely!
Greed. It's the American way. American Capitalism isn't about providing consumers with value for their dollars spent. It's about extracting the most dollars from consumers and providing little to no value to the consumer.
Then it must end!
ALL businesses are about making money for the owner(s) of the business, nothing more. There is no point to having the business if it is not making as much as possible for the owner(s). Only charities are concerned about the client. So long as there are consumers willing and able to purchase the product, then the business will continue until there are no longer consumers willing and/or able to make the purchase. The one's who can afford it will get. The one's who can't afford it, will not get.
Across the country they are doing this to us who have housing vouchers or subsiding house
i just spent two years not getting paid by tenants at my properties. and nobody said it was wrong. this is fascinating to me.
I completely agree!
That IS way wrong, get a lawyer and you got your justice as rent moratorium been Over for loooooong!! You don't seem to know That!! 😆
@@CollDott the moratorium ended last year. My bank account is still negative from it. Until it's positive I'm jacking the rent as high as I can
I don’t see how people have the nerve not pay where they’re staying. Now, the rent increase is absolutely ridiculous. I never skipped a beat during Covid, and I’m sorry that you as a landlord had to experience this.
Also a landlord here. I’m thinking they did this because they were late with rent? And they got the boot? You can only allow so much before you need your money.
Greed is the root of all evil.
Actually, fear is the root of all evil. Greed comes from fear, the fear that you can never have too much money and possessions in order to be "safe" in this world.
