My landlord is currently renovating 2 Apartments, that she recently evicted the tenants from. Painting and new cabinet facing but no electrical or plumbing updates. I hear that when she's finished the rents will be $400 to $500 more then what I'm paying now for the same space. She's also told me that once completed she expects me to move into one of them so she can renovate the apartment that I'm in now. We didn't have any discussion about what she would expect me to be paying in rent. I can't afford rent that eats up half of my monthly income. I'm afraid I'll be evicted next.
Where I live that's illegal. A landlord cannot evict someone because they feel like it. They have to appeal to the community court of community services to get a tenant evicted and give a valid reason. If they do that though they open themselves up to investigation on whether the rented space met proper housing standards. Tenants have more rights than landlords here.
It's not happening in Canada. I live in Canada. The government pays for my rent costs because of my disability. If you are unemployed or have a disability in Ontario, Canada you can get extra money from the provincial government to cover your rent costs. $900 a month for one apartment is ridiculous here. The average is 600-700 a month for most apartments. You'd never get it rented out at 900 unless it's a huge family sized apartment. No unemployed person would be unable to find rent costs let alone a full time worker. The housing crisis in my city I live in (Peterborugh, Ontario) is because there are more people than there are houses. It's not an affordability issue.
Thank you for clarifying....people are probably flocking to canada just to to get out of america and i bet most immigrants/refugees would rather move there too because you all are so nice. I know i want to get out, but its pretty hard to pack up and leave everyone you know behind.
My area the rent went up 100 dollars 2 years ago, now it has gone up 50 dollars over last few years because so many are moving out. The price of rent has really skyrocketed across the US I believe this has only added to the homelessness.
Melanie, i work for affordable housing and my subsidized rent went up too. Then i found out from a memo of the landlords in my area that their business plan is to get 35% to 40% of tenants to move each year so they can "escalate" the rent. Greed and corporate abuse. Vote Bernie and organize a tenant union.
I remember that when I was a child in Brooklyn, NY, we had rent control and public housing. The city government regulated private rentals and public housing was created by union investment. Unions created a union bank. We again need some variation of this kind of mix, or rather, across our nation we need variations of this mix.
@Tony Mario No you goon. Our planet can't take an economic model based on planned obsolence and an ignorant use of our planet's limited resources and environments that are not sustainable. Anyone with half a brain cell understands that the longview of that is our planet's demise. Capitalism is almost completely at odds with the safety of our environments.
@Tony Mario Bro you sound like an out of touch boomer. What's even the point of talking to you? Just get out of our way because someone has to solve this problem and you aren't part of the solution. Waste of time interacting with you people.
@Tony Mario No, capitalism has put more people on poverty. The $7/hr used to be a living wage. Now it's a starvation wage. How would you like to eventually be paying $200 for a cup of Starbucks coffee?
We used to have rent control until republicans and democrats screwd us ALL. I'm an independent cause ID and WA has been developed to meet the NEEDS of the RICH. Can't buy a house or rent hardly.
Some corporations are buying trailer parks and rising the monthly cost of every lot, forcing low income people out even if they can't afford relocation of their trailer homes. It's disgusting and inhumane.
Rent in Connecticut is absolutely ridiculous these days. I can't afford a house because of my government loans for my 4 year degree. I have a full-time job (with side hustles) and it's still not enough. Thank you for doing this important AMERICAN work, Bernie. People have forgotten that power lies in the people for too long. You're waking us up.
InMaCo My undergrad degree is in speech language pathology and I work a full time job w/ benefits as a special education educator. I also have a part-time job at a daycare afterward. My graduate degree will be in applied behavior analysis. I have great job openings, but the wages aren’t “living wages” - I work all the time but cost of living is far too high. Check yourself before casting stereotypical judgement, it makes you seem like an ignorant person to have any kind of discussion with honestly.
InMaCo The true freeloaders are the big banks and corporate entities who buy out all forms of government - they get HUGE bailouts, slash benefits, and underpay their constituents. They are fucking America with their greed. This kind of wealth does not simply trickle down when people can’t get good paying jobs with their degrees anymore. The common American worker who is dedicating 8-12 hours of their day working after getting the degree America pushed for....isn’t going anywhere fast or contributing to the local economy by consuming goods. We are hustling for far too long after college and trade school without much hope of having anything concrete such as a house. We aren’t looking for complete bail outs - but this is an important economic weight that thousands upon thousands Americans can’t shake. It isn’t good for the country when people can’t spend time with their families because they’re working so much. It isn’t good for the country when people are paying off government loans for years while withholding from contributing to the economy or being able to buy a car, house, or even to just afford an emergency. This is a very REAL situation for so many. It’s a matter of living a life with dignity or working into the grave without much here. The American dream is for the 1%
InMaCo Would you say that if I were a doctor or lawyer? Because they’re struggling too. Idk what hole you’re living in, but our country’s economy as a whole is fucked. You can take me as one individual but an entire generation has the weight of debt on them.
@Tony Mario Yes, a teenager working fulltime should be able to afford rent. No one was talking about owning a home, we're talking about not being homeless. Rents should not be so prohibitive that a fulltime worker can't live indoors and afford food and other basics.
Here in Portland the homeless population keeps growing. Even all this affordable housing doesn't work for most of the people that make less than 10k a year. Rent spikes are ridiculous.
There should be a federal law passed that every person paying rent in this country cannot be charged more than 25% of their total income for the month.... So if you only make $1,000 a month you can't be charged more than $250 rent.... If you make $4,000 a month then you can't be charged for more than $1,000 for rent each month if we make this simplistic... Everybody wins and another thing is we need to lower property taxes all across the board for homeownership and for landlords that way they are getting a break as well.....in this will actually free people to live better lives not to be stressed out they will have money to save for a house they will have money to purchase a car they will have money to get groceries they will have money to get clothing etc etc....if you're on a fixed income of $1,000 a month and your rent is $600 a month.... That's pure robbery... It needs to change... So if we put a cap at no more than 25% of everyone's wage and lower property taxes for landlords up to 50 percent lower then again everyone wins
But if you lower property taxes school funding will be hurt. In CA that is how we pay for public schools. Landlords do not need that break because there are other tax breaks specially aimed a property owners and they do earn a high return on investment as is. A cap on rents raises, just cause eviction, rent control go far to stabilize rents. Just by connecting rents to cost of living much hurt will be alleviated. Then build housing like the government did after WWII. We can solve this if we fight for tenants, control greedy landlords and build affordable and inclusionary housing (which means a oortion of all new housing must be affordable.) Then fight for decent wages at the same time
Could have happened to my Grandmother, but the laws in California make it difficult to evict. Right now they are doing the minimum, only when forced, to fix the run down one room shared old little cottage. I personally want her to leave the place and stay with myself or another relative. The place is close to a hospital and has a good amount of space for gardening and parking.
I'm disabled and I live in America. Yes, the government pays for some of the rent. I have to live in affordable housing, why? Is it really the solution to rely on the affordable housing? It means the rent is too high for me to live on my own, why?? Plus, whenever the housing is affordable, it's always apartments... Why can't i live in a house without paying 600 which is about 90% of my income? i'm looking for a house with two bedrooms and some yard for myself, my sister and our pets. Those houses are mostly 700 to 1k, very few are 600 and lower. And there are too many multifamily houses. I'm so frustrated.
@Tony Mario No, your comment was snide. I don't have to respect that and i did not, you received the same disrespect. I did not "make an argument." You're no one to me, i don't care to prove anything to you. I explained my experience of the difficulty finding a 2 bedroom house (certainly not any bigger than the affordable housing😒) for 600. If you refused to accept that reality, so be it. i'm okay with being poor, i expect to be able to find small houses just as easily as you are able to find a 2500sq ft house within your income range. That is not demanding at all. It seems as if the poor should become homeless and rot, even though they do have income, just low. You support that, you deserve no peace. 👁️
It's happening in Bakersfield. Giant companies like PAMA Management buy up low-income housing, then hire shady local real estate management companies like I E Rentals to mistreat the residents (they tore off a large section of my roofing and left it for SIX MONTHS, and took my cooler apart for no reason over a month ago & left it). The Housing Authority is VERY slow to act, and gives property managers extension after extension, as they did with my roof. Even Code Enforcement didn't do anything the first time I reported my roof issue to them, just as they've done nothing since I reported my cooler issue. Unfortunately, these giant companies have a lot of pull with local governments, as they basically use the tax money they generate to basically blackmail the cities into allowing them to do as they please.
Why are tenants paying high rent? Why are tenants being evicted? Why are home owners and building owners raising the rate of rents? Why are the cost of utilities rates rising every year?
I'm a housing inspector and see this happening all the time. New owners come in, buy up a property and jack up the rates, sometimes with doing little to no improvements to the property.
When the dot com crash and the housing bubble crash happened, the investment companies and the lending institutions all exclaimed that "they had no idea". When investigated, they were found in fact to be "pumping and dumping" - artificially inflating the value then cashing in. Lenders added insult to injury by getting a taxpayer funded bailout of not only the company that insured the assets: AIG but a SECOND bailout of the assets insured and not insured by AIG. This was all thanks to Bush's former Wall Street insider; Bush' Treasury Secretary Henry (Hank) Paulson. Corporate media largely ignored the story after dutifully reporting the wealth class' version of what happened. They did not do the duty of a Free Press because the wealth class has purchased all of the mainstream media. Warren Buffett polishes his image but he is yet another Real Estate speculator buying Mobile Home companies, Mobile Home Parks, Real Estate Agencies, Multi-Family Units and so forth. Warren Buffet is also purchasing Newspapers like the Atlantic City Press and others through his company Berkshire Hathaway Media Group. Expect BHMG Newspapers to blame the poor again when the rich get richer by pumping and dumping the next Bubble; another housing price crash.
IT IS HAPPENING AT THE GATEWAY TO THE GLACIERS HERE IN N.W. MONTANA TOO~~~ OUR HOMELESS 38 YR. OLD SON LIVES IN OUR YARD IN A OLD MOTORHOME HE IS FIXING! Our oldest son also can not find enough work to rent anything~So is Couch surfing right now trading maintenance, etc... for food & shelter
I just don't understand. Who do these people think they are going to rent to? From what I can tell most people cannot afford a 60% increase to their rent. Where are these new tenants going to come from? Where did all the new jobs paying wages that can afford high rent come from? Increased rents are supposed to be stimulated by a surge in demand. Isn't that what the supposed free market is all about? If there was an actual free market rents would be going down. I do agree that there is a demand for living space but that demand is not from the middle class. It's from the poor, the homeless, the elderly and disabled vets. All people that cannot afford to pay $900/m for a $450/m apartment that has been given a new paint-job.
@@fillofarber1 Most everyone was just as much of a "draft dodger" as Bernie was at that time. Probably everyone who was drafted wished they weren't. I dodged the draft. I went to college instead. That's all it took. When they instituted the lottery, the second year I got a gool draw and dropped my college deferment and spent the required year eligible. Being against a contrived war of oppression as Bernie was and being lucky enough not to be drafted wasn't illegal. Going to Canada if drafted or paying some doctor to say you have bone spurs were illegal. I can't think of a president from that generation that actually fought in VN. Bush Jr joined the Texas NG just so he wouldn't be drafted. He was a "dodger" more along the illegal lines because his daddy made sure he wouldn't go and he went AWOL. Calling Bernie a draft dodger is like saying every Texan is a Cowboys fan. You are most probably correct but what's your point? There is no disgrace to it and it's not illegal.
@@fillofarber1 Where did you hear that? I've not seen any stories stating that he had obtained that status.There is nothing illegal in being a conscientious objector. Never has been. It requires a lot of documentation to obtain that status. Just objecting conscientiously does not make you one. What is it about me saying that paying a doctor to provide falsified documentation being illegal do you find stupid? Doing that is an act of fraud. We all know who has been proven to be a fraud. Just calling someone a communist doesn't make them one. I've never heard him say he was a communist. There is nothing in his history or his proposals that is communistic. Bernie is a Democratic Socialist. You know, like in Norway. You've heard of Norway. Your President wishes we had more immigrants from there. Perhaps if we had a better nation we would. There are reasons no one there is interested in taking him up on his offer.
I believe this is happening in my town, they won’t agree but I think there’s a company that owns most of the apartments in the city. They’re the closest thing to a monopoly. They keep buying buildings and they kick out the residents to update the apartments and then of course the rent is higher after. They do look nice but I think they own too many buildings.When that company isn’t buying buildings the city is building new expensive high rises. Some townhomes near me are renting for over $4000 a month! The new studios in the high-rises are probably around $1800 a month. And then when we did finally get a new proposal for an affordable housing building it wasn’t received well. 😢 Rent is getting crazy high!
My mom, dad and me when I was young had to move out of an apartment that we had been living in for 11 years. We got an eviction notice that had no cause of why we where being evicted. We saw other families moving out at the same time and we knew we where next. The apartments where going to be redone and the rent rased again. They tried to charge us for stuff we asked to get fixed months or years before we got the eviction notice. GO BERINE GO. SANDERS 2020 PS. We did and still do live in Oregon.
Same thing happened to me. We found others, orgsnized to get low income apartments to be included in new projects. We won! But 13 years later Social Security has not kept up with rent raises. Might not be able to stay in affordable housing.
It's not just rent but every fucking thing has gone up . I have a full time job and still can't afford to have a vehicle , home . I have a 20 year old truck and live with my parents . The houses for sale are dumps and they want WAY too much for them !!!

REPUBLICANS WHERE IS YOUR VOICE? OH, THEY ARE TO BUSY FIGHTING FOR TAX CUTS AND BAILOUTS FOR THE WEALTHY!!!!
@@LaurieFloodTeacher Sure, real government does not work for the people anymore. Dems and Repubs are bought and paid for by the same corp and WS interest. We lost government for the people decades ago, which is why we are in the position, and it's only going to get much much worse!!!
Greedy landlords. Trying to make a living off the backs of hardworking people. Then they raise the rent every year with no justification as to why. No improvements to the property and yet the rent is still escalating. There should be a state cap/limit to how high the rent can be allowed to be raised by the homeowners.
Freedom dividend was designed to address this issue. Elderly people on fixed incomes, people receiving disability and unemployed people will not benefit from $15 minimum wage. Yang 2020!
It is so sad that when the new landlord takes over they raise rent to make sure that the people paying rent pays for the apartments all over again and they have payed for them once

“ Renoviction” is totally ruthless and must be stopped.

I hear that when she's finished the rents will be $400 to $500 more then what I'm paying now for the same space.

I mean his debate is tomorrow but still I am 100% on board with this statement.

Good luck in the debate Bernie!!!
Go Bernie!!!!! I'm getting the courage up to start using the "dialer." Keep fighting the good fight, Jedi.
When the dot com crash and the housing bubble crash happened, the investment companies and the lending institutions all exclaimed that "they had no idea". When investigated, they were found in fact to be "pumping and dumping" - artificially inflating the value then cashing in.
Lenders added insult to injury by getting a taxpayer funded bailout of not only the company that insured the assets: AIG but a SECOND bailout of the assets insured and not insured by AIG.
This was all thanks to Bush's former Wall Street insider; Bush' Treasury Secretary Henry (Hank) Paulson.
Corporate media largely ignored the story after dutifully reporting the wealth class' version of what happened. They did not do the duty of a Free Press because the wealth class has purchased all of the mainstream media.
Warren Buffett polishes his image but he is yet another Real Estate speculator buying Mobile Home companies, Mobile Home Parks, Real Estate Agencies, Multi-Family Units and so forth. Warren Buffet is also purchasing Newspapers like the Atlantic City Press and others through his company Berkshire Hathaway Media Group.
Expect BHMG Newspapers to blame the poor again when the rich get richer by pumping and dumping the next Bubble; another housing price crash.
Miami is ridiculous
IT IS HAPPENING AT THE GATEWAY TO THE GLACIERS HERE IN N.W. MONTANA TOO~~~ OUR HOMELESS 38 YR. OLD SON LIVES IN OUR YARD IN A OLD MOTORHOME HE IS FIXING! Our oldest son also can not find enough work to rent anything~So is Couch surfing right now trading maintenance, etc... for food & shelter
I just don't understand. Who do these people think they are going to rent to?
From what I can tell most people cannot afford a 60% increase to their rent. Where are these new tenants going to come from?
Where did all the new jobs paying wages that can afford high rent come from? Increased rents are supposed to be stimulated by a surge in demand. Isn't that what the supposed free market is all about?
If there was an actual free market rents would be going down.
I do agree that there is a demand for living space but that demand is not from the middle class. It's from the poor, the homeless, the elderly and disabled vets. All people that cannot afford to pay $900/m for a $450/m apartment that has been given a new paint-job.
@@fillofarber1 Most everyone was just as much of a "draft dodger" as Bernie was at that time. Probably everyone who was drafted wished they weren't.
I dodged the draft. I went to college instead. That's all it took. When they instituted the lottery, the second year I got a gool draw and dropped my college deferment and spent the required year eligible.
Being against a contrived war of oppression as Bernie was and being lucky enough not to be drafted wasn't illegal. Going to Canada if drafted or paying some doctor to say you have bone spurs were illegal.
I can't think of a president from that generation that actually fought in VN. Bush Jr joined the Texas NG just so he wouldn't be drafted. He was a "dodger" more along the illegal lines because his daddy made sure he wouldn't go and he went AWOL.
Calling Bernie a draft dodger is like saying every Texan is a Cowboys fan. You are most probably correct but what's your point? There is no disgrace to it and it's not illegal.
@@fillofarber1 Where did you hear that? I've not seen any stories stating that he had obtained that status.There is nothing illegal in being a conscientious objector. Never has been. It requires a lot of documentation to obtain that status. Just objecting conscientiously does not make you one.
What is it about me saying that paying a doctor to provide falsified documentation being illegal do you find stupid? Doing that is an act of fraud. We all know who has been proven to be a fraud.
Just calling someone a communist doesn't make them one. I've never heard him say he was a communist. There is nothing in his history or his proposals that is communistic.
Bernie is a Democratic Socialist. You know, like in Norway. You've heard of Norway. Your President wishes we had more immigrants from there. Perhaps if we had a better nation we would. There are reasons no one there is interested in taking him up on his offer.
Time shares don't allow full rental or ownership.
I believe this is happening in my town, they won’t agree but I think there’s a company that owns most of the apartments in the city. They’re the closest thing to a monopoly. They keep buying buildings and they kick out the residents to update the apartments and then of course the rent is higher after. They do look nice but I think they own too many buildings.When that company isn’t buying buildings the city is building new expensive high rises. Some townhomes near me are renting for over $4000 a month! The new studios in the high-rises are probably around $1800 a month. And then when we did finally get a new proposal for an affordable housing building it wasn’t received well. 😢 Rent is getting crazy high!
My mom, dad and me when I was young had to move out of an apartment that we had been living in for 11 years. We got an eviction notice that had no cause of why we where being evicted. We saw other families moving out at the same time and we knew we where next. The apartments where going to be redone and the rent rased again. They tried to charge us for stuff we asked to get fixed months or years before we got the eviction notice. GO BERINE GO.
SANDERS 2020
PS. We did and still do live in Oregon.
Same thing happened to me. We found others, orgsnized to get low income apartments to be included in new projects. We won! But 13 years later Social Security has not kept up with rent raises. Might not be able to stay in affordable housing.
This sort of gentrification will lead to a crash!!
It's not just rent but every fucking thing has gone up . I have a full time job and still can't afford to have a vehicle , home . I have a 20 year old truck and live with my parents . The houses for sale are dumps and they want WAY too much for them !!!
Greed is anti-American
#feelthebern
WHY IS IT, I NEVER EVER SEE A REPUBLICAN WITH ADVERTISEMENTS LIKE THIS???? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THEY DON'T ADVOCATE FOR THE HOMELESS, THE POOR, THE TERRIBLE HOUSING SITUATION IN THIS COUNTRY, AS WELL AS ALL THE MANY OTHER ISSUES THAT EFFECT WORKING CLASS PEOPLE. REPUBLICANS WHERE IS YOUR VOICE? OH, THEY ARE TO BUSY FIGHTING FOR TAX CUTS AND BAILOUTS FOR THE WEALTHY!!!!
+John Scales Sadly, so are the majority of the Democrats.
@@LaurieFloodTeacher Sure, real government does not work for the people anymore. Dems and Repubs are bought and paid for by the same corp and WS interest. We lost government for the people decades ago, which is why we are in the position, and it's only going to get much much worse!!!
Greedy landlords. Trying to make a living off the backs of hardworking people. Then they raise the rent every year with no justification as to why. No improvements to the property and yet the rent is still escalating. There should be a state cap/limit to how high the rent can be allowed to be raised by the homeowners.
Freedom dividend was designed to address this issue. Elderly people on fixed incomes, people receiving disability and unemployed people will not benefit from $15 minimum wage. Yang 2020!
It is so sad that when the new landlord takes over they raise rent to make sure that the people paying rent pays for the apartments all over again and they have payed for them once
Rent controls otherwise all you do is make the property owners richer
Rent in Texas is no different... too f...g high!!
PHEONIX IS THE SAME WAY RENT IS TO HIGH
All aver America. All over Canada even in Mexico, what is going on?
Thank god for Alabama, you can always find a nice house to buy for 65,000 dollars they are all over the place

Hey Guy ! The Music In The Video Is Just Not Working !
First Principles : "Music is strongly associated with the brain's reward system. It's the part of the brain that tells us if things are valuable, or important or relevant to survival, said Robert Zatorre, professor of neurology and neurosurgery at Montreal Neurological Institute."
Was there anything about the music that said : Value , Importance , or Relevance ? For the topic or the candidate ?
InMaCo " I am going to tell you something you probably already know .
A political campaign , especially a Presidential one , ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It can be a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees with disappointment , and keep you there permanently if you let it. Nobody , not me, you , or anybody is going to hit as hard as the vicissitudes in the life of a campaign . But it ain’t how hard you can hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. But you have to be willing to take the hits . Now, if you know what Our candidate is worth in votes ,then go out and get what Our candidate is worth. And Don't go pointing your finger at him ,her ,or anybody . That's what losers do and We ain't losing ; We ' re Better Than That " .

Well Bernie wanting illegals to come in forces Americans out. Keep up the work on noncitizens Bernie.
That's because realtors are soul-stealing beasts. My loved one DIED for their goddam greed and HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO. Especially not so that after it HAPPENED nobody would decide to learn ANYthing from it. Killing someone over greed is stupid.
'So are real estate greed monsters.

He was never greedy, though. People who'd done business with him said he was never greedy, was fair and honest and loyal.
There will come a time when you have to choose between doing what's right or what's easy.
Remember Eric Bennett before you do: a man who was giving & fair & honest & loyal, who lost his life only because he strayed across the path of Osama bin Laden & his monsters.
