I bought a house for this exact reason. I got slapped with an ugly 15% rent increase (about $250/month) last summer and i was like....no thank you! I'm just going to buy a house. Glad i did so i won't get wrecked by hyperinflation no more.
I think these property owners and landlords are raising rents so excessively high, that they are forcing out certain groups of the population that they deem undesirable all over the country. People who didn't pay their rent for 2 years and likely bankrupted a lot of mom & pop property owners who were very reasonable, had to sell to these investment groups who don't give a shit about what you're going thru. So they jack the rent up so high because they know certain people can't afford it and will have no choice but to vacate their apartment.
Property taxes and hazard insurance in Tampa are ridiculous. And can't get a decent location without an HOA on top. Rent prices are reflected in the taxes, insurances, and HOA fees.
When I was homeless with my child years ago! I found me a good gas station with a clean outside bathroom! I would head over their at 4-430 am and bring a book bag purse with a towel and some rags soap and clean change of clothes. I even had a bucket to fill up with hot warm water to pour on us to rinse of over in over like a shower! That water was piping hot! We took a good hot bath there and I was even able to wash our hair and blow dry it and my child’s hair! Get dressed like I was at home! Nobody ever knew we was homeless not even the clerk at the store! I learned to beat the traffic so I went early to get my daily bath and nightly bath! I did have a job just no home! The people on my Jon would say you always smell so good! Hearing that made me feel so low! Knowing where I took my bath at! My child went to daycare! This kind of life was hard to do daily! I pray these people make it out of this mess alright!
@@aspiringfurnitureflipper9087 Thanks! God has really blessed my socks off! This was when I had my first child! It was harrrrrrd to get back on my feet! Living in the car was cheaper than the hotel! Those were hard choices to make!
Why didn’t you give your child to it’s father or a family member who could take care of the child. It’s one thing if you want to live in a car but allowing your child to suffer through that isn’t praise worthy. Your pride was in the way… you could have consulted a women and children shelter and / homeless camp where the they take you in. Trust someone people placed themselves in hardships all because of pride and not wanting to ask for help or sleep on a friends couch so much danger could’ve came to you and your child! Foolish

This is happening everywhere. In all of the states. So what happens when the rent is so high that the property owners can't find anyone (and I mean good tenants that would pay the rent and they work and follow rules) can't afford to rent. And the property owner has empty units. Their not bringing in any money by being greedy. Sooner or later their gonna have to bring the rent down. You can't make money on empty units.
I was thinking that. I see so many people in Michigan with high ass prices but they are re-posting the same house for MONTHS now. One bedrooms 900-1200 a month. GTFOH! No one is going for that.

I was thinking the same thing but it will take them years to back down because they have already gotten wayyy too used to all that sweet extra cash. What I predict is that we will see an increase of people living with each other first. More children living with parent til 30s. More roommates. More couples staying together because it's cheap even though they already broke up. People getting on each other nerves because they are forced to live together to save money. And finally after this goes on for a while and those other units sit empty for too long, we will see rent specials and decreases to finally fill them again.
@@joanfrederick9176 Do you honestly believe there's a national housing crisis because of the people that didn't pay during the pandemic? Government statistics say that was a very low number of renters. Things like a $50 non refundable application fee taken from 187 people for 1 apartment, that's $9,350 of pure greed on ONE apartment. There are more landlords that took covid funds than people that didn't pay. An automatic 6% increase in rent yearly to cover upgrades and repairs they say. If I buy a house can I lower my payment 6% every year to cover upgrades and repairs? Is that how it works?
The same thing that happened in NYC, San Francisco and Boston….they are forced to leave and live in towns far away from where they work. This is our reality now. Real estate is just a gigantic bank for rich people and soon all of our cities will be vacant and unaffordable for everyone(even the upper middle class). Bf and I make a combined income of 140,000 dollars, so you’d think an apartment in the city or house would be affordable. Homes and rent are just so expensive where we are that it is improbable. It appears that this is also happening all over the country as well, so moving is futile. Floridians and southerners are going to experience what the Northeast and West Coast have been experiencing for 20+ years now.
I've read many of the comments & replies in this thread. The lack of humanity is sickening. It appears that those that have a home, condo, etc that they own (most talking so rudely "still" pay a mortgage) feel it is OK to troll, and out those who don't have a place to buy and are obviously forced to rent there place. Most did not ride the waive of "free rent" and the free money wave via unemployment. Consider this you might have something (I hope not) happen to you were you go through your savings, your plan B, and your plan C. You might loose your job, your taxes might go up so high that you cannot keep your home you worked hard for etc. When the rich want your home, your land, etc for their Trust Fund Babies, for their Hedge Fund Babies etc. I've seen all my life that taxes go up so high on your averagely priced home that have to move. Then you become the renter, the slave, and the person getting trolled. Americans are such greedy people I see, we take more than what me need, and have more than we can use just so we can point down at others and say to bad. So what about the youth? Think about it for a moment. How will they afford to buy a house? And don't say they will have yours. You might need to sell it to pay for your medical care when you get older leaving them nothing. Wake up everyone please. They Super Wealthly are done putting white vs people of other colors. They are now praying on what most of America use to be. Middle class. We have went from 3 classes to 2 classes. Keep thinking you're middle class when you're not because you already have a home, what you consider a good job, etc and you will soon find out that to the rich you're actually poor. There's no middle class anymore. I make about $79k a year and I'm struggling so hard and have no kids. I am man enough to admit for the 1st time in life I don't know what I will do come September. I have no family. They all died off poor. I worked hard to get to that pay. Some say it's a lot but there's nothing to buy. Corporations buy up the houses to air bnb them forcing more into rent than ever. It's sad I see so many of you talking about how many places you own and rent out. Do you really need so much? What about you're own extended family that have to rent? You don't even help them. Instead you'd much rather enslave others that struggle too but pay you much more. See you don't want to help you only want money money money! So cut the BS and don't be a landlord. Be a corrupt politician you long to be. I hope humanity fights back or all of you just past away and meet your maker in judgment.

Interest rates are still at record lows. You can move to a different state. Government needs taxes to pay for infrastructure. Demand more coal and nuclear power for cheaper utilities.

@@KC-dr3cg it isn’t that simple you would also have to find and hope that there’s a job there that was paying you Seattle pay grade.

The State of Florida should start by basing property taxes on the purchase price of the property. Huge increases in property taxes every year on investment properties drives up the cost for owners, therefore forces them to raise the rent to make up for it.
Since Florida has no personal,income tax. the money has to come from somewhere. You guys may have to do a constitutional referendum and cap property taxes hikes .
I wish they will stop charging 3- times rent to get place to live. And stop getting everyone that’s adult to pay for application fee for same apartment. It should only be one fee. For example when purchasing a house you only pay one closing costs
Rents are priced beyond section 8 housing vouchers. There is nowhere for these people to go! I am aged & disabled. And no idea what to do when the rental assistance to keep us in a market rent unit runs out.

And my family got screwed out of 20000 thousand dollars when the pandemic started. Nobody paid rent and most tenents would not apply for the care act to pay us. They though it was too hard to learn or wouldn't be bothered with it. The feds. Should have paid landlords directly but would not cuz there are bad land owners who would rip the government off.
Doesn’t matter. Once you shift the scales so far on one side you need to shift it equally on the other side. Basic algebra. But since they didn’t landlords are out for blood now.
Those that didn't apply for the moratorium most likely didn't qualify and slipped by taking advantage. It's crushed landlords. I have 5 rentals but only rent to retired professionals, so it didn't hit me. Yes, the landlords should have been paid directly. It was a total screw up making landlords become homeless shelters at their expense.
Agree 💯! Leave it to the government and we all get screwed. Renters need to realize that government taxes going up. My property taxes increased from $1300 to $3700. This another reason why rents are going up.
@@gsdlover8967 that's crazy how much your property taxes went up. Personally, I don't think we should have them. Or let us make monthly payments. Here in Iowa,they won't except monthly payments.
Blame the politicians not the landlords. Higher taxes Insurence and upkeep are what the rent covers. Stop renting and buy your own house. Morgage payments are cheaper then rent.
@@haseleyes1 that's what my husband and I did. Put down only 3% which was a struggle in itself. Been in the house 3 years and have seen some increased value, but the best part is the house payment has not gone up. People are paying more for a one bed apartment than our 3 bed/2 bath house.
They need to put a rental CAP on all rentals no human has a right to make profit off another human to survive because thats where things are done unfairly and GREED comes into place. I think the governments should take over and rents should be flat rate based off income.
This is what the reset is all about, more government control.Look at communist countries where the government controls every part of a persons life. Ask yourself if you want to stand in a bread line managed by the government? This is by design, from the high rents to high gas, to inflation. The Democratic socialists in the Biden administrtion want everyone to get used to having less than nothing

Subsidize more construction to increase the housing supply. That way more units are available which will help ease demand. Build new rental units meant for affordability instead of only putting up luxury units. Rent control doesn't work in the long run because developers have no incentive. This slows development
A friend of mine is in rent control apartment in NYC. He has 3 bedrooms and lives alone. he'd like to move to a studio or 1 bedroom and let a family move into his unit but he's trapped there by rent control. If he moves to a smaller place he'll pay 4 times what he's paying now. Rent control doesn't work
Thats not gonna work. They do somethong similar in NYC and the apartments are still unaffordable. I was on the lottery for one and when I got picked, it was 2300 for a 1 bedroom. Thats not including utilities. Developers only want to make luxury places. They dont care about who can and cannot afford to live.
Florida is one of the hottest real estate markets to buy, invest, and just move to. It’s the new California. There isn’t enough housing to meet the demand so landlords are able to increase rents dramatically. When tenants leave, the landlord is going to make repairs up grade the unit then rent it out in a week to someone out of town moving to Florida for 3 times what they the previous rent was. To some it’s price gouging but to others it means that the original tenants were underpaying what the actual value of that unit is. This is known as price discovery.
Oh I agree whole heartedly. No one seems to understand this. I have a rental in Lakewood Ranch, it’s almost $1,000 under current market value. This means I’m subsidizing someone else. I recently changed property management companies, the new one will address this. Why would I subsidize someone else’s life? The true value is $1,000 more, period.

Mortgage didn't change but he raised rent to $2050. I had to quit my hospital job and move.
I used to work for a property management company and the things landlords do to renter's is horrible. Now, where I worked, we were not that expensive, but it was sold and now these shitty little apartments have almost doubled in price in five years. It is absolutely disgraceful and inhumane what landlords get away with. I'm in Indiana and I couldn't believe how the leases were created to punish the renter. The judge, although, a democrat always, always sided with us on cases and sometimes the resident had a valid issue(i.e. unresolved maintenance issues, which is about the only thing a resident could complain about). It was just so heart wrenching to see this. I am so glad I am out of that business. And let me say, I actually worked for one of the more honest landlords. There is an overall lack of respect from reality companies towards their residents. And as we all know we live in a country that values unending, ever rising, reach to the heavens profit, profit, profit!
This is awful! It happened to me in California. I hear it's happening in NY as well. Where do they want us to go? Where can we go that's more affordable?
I mean, their is a lot of factors that come into play. For one taxes. Insurance. Material goods. Latino families often live together and split the rent. Indian families also live together. If their isn’t enough housing why do we keep letting more people in? We brainwashed our youth to go to college so now we have a lot of college graduates but no drivers (Indians now) construction workers ( Latinos). Unfortunately it’s all the liberal policies that end up hurting their voter base. I’m not saying republicans are better but with them, at least I know where I stand. The liberal pretends that he cares but he’s only turning you into more of a slave.
@@rhondae8222 yes because if Republicans got full control and had their way, nobody would be homeless and there would be no crime? Just ban abortion and contraceptives and get rid of all the social safety nets, that's not a recipe for more homeless at all!
Every two families link up and purchase one home until you buy up every house in that area neighborhood or on the street. If landlords want to force us out then we force them out! These are our neighborhoods we grew up in and we're not going to let anyone come in and keep kicking us out of our neighborhoods so every two families link up purchase one house until you buy everything you want. Godspeed
Rent control is not the answer. Wait a few years and the cost of maintenance will exceed the landlords' income. As economist Thomas Sowell states, maintenance, repairs, painting, cleaning, heat, hot water all decline. And later the landlords may abandon them. And they become slums.
In Arizona landlords pay immigrants to do all that work ...for nickles & dimes. Thats how companies continue to make profits in the Country of Endless Inflation. every apartments i lived in since the 80s there was that maintenance man who knew little english who wasnt paid a "wage" to work there but he was given a 1 bedroom apartment to live in rent free....even tho he did 1000s of dollars in labor monthly. no medical no benefits
It's time for disenfranchised groups in any state to come together and formulate your own communities that means you're going to have to build alliances with one or two other families or groups of families and start purchasing power put your money together and purchase power.

I'm seeing alot of comments about lowering the cost of insurance rates and taxes. My question and I think this is the most important one "if the initial cause is "rising costs" for the property owner(s)/landlord which in turn results in increasing housing prices, then what is making those initial cost go up? Where is the domino falling first? From what I'm gathering that seems to be one of the talking points here. In addition to that another comment that I've seen and it is sooooooo relevant that we try to uncover this history. Someone mention that the rent increases is to move certain groups of people out of certain areas of the country. Unfortunately there is great amount of truth to that and the racist history behind that is still affecting us to this day. Housing laws in the early 1900s were designed to prohibit non-whites from owning property and actually having any economic mobility and now we are all feeling the affects of outdated laws that were designed to oppress all groups of non-whites. In this case, city hall actually can do something about it. Look at the laws that are on the books and either rewrite them or just get rid of them and this just doesn't need to happen on a local level. These laws need to be ratified on a state and national level. We the working people are what keeps this country moving and we can't do that if we don't have a place to live.
I understand what your saying but I don't believe race has anything to do with what is happening here in Florida. More like classism, everyone from the north is moving here where there wages are much higher. So they inflated the markets to get away from the cities for tons of reasons. Covid mandates, working from home became more available, and what was Florida's low living costs. The investors and owners saw this and realized just like the housing market these folks wanted housing and they were willing to pay a ridiculous amount. It's hurting the working class here though. Wages will rise eventually here or people will leave Florida for other states. But I feel horrible for the people who it's affecting that don't have many options.
The costs of buying a home are also insane, there is no housing relief anywhere. Income restrictions aren't based on real market rates. Also no one factors in college debt. I literally saw income restricted communities nicer than the ones cheaper on the free market when I was looking for the best bargain when I first got out of school. I don't agree with affordable housing restriction EVERYONE should have a right to affordable housing options. This is why so many cannot afford to buy, high prices and corporation buying everything for sale, outbidding actual people who would be the home dwellers. It's a nationwide issue. Eventually people are going to push back hard. Maybe this summer when the weather is hot.
Rent control or more homelessness, you decide. Which means those without a address may not be able to vote some of you back into office. America Must fix this problem, that is weakening the country ability to move forward.

How about pushing back against property taxes for those offering rentals. Mine were doubled this year. Paints cost $40 a gallon now. How am I supposed to keep offering the same rent, do they just want housing to go bankrupt? I also had to pay for the building. And then they complain about cheap apartments not being available
This is happening across the entire country in every state. Prices for everything including necessities have increased. The problem is that our paychecks have only seen about a 4% increase since the pandemic. Before that, the pay for our labor did not keep pace with the increases with cost of living for decades. And, who pays for all those taxes? Companies and CEO have to make their profits somehow. How else are they going to afford their mansions, yachts, and private jets? I guess people are supposed to be thankful that they have a job that can afford them a tent?
It's different back here in Iowa. We have too many apartments and not enough renters. I do,not blame the landlords. It's about making money. There is a high demand for apartments. When Hugh demand things for sale go up.

People need to practice birth control. With the supply chain issue, demands for higher wages there are not going to be any affordable housing built in our lifetime. If there is any building it will be high end building that can make a profit. Housing poor people isn't profitable.
1) we have a population SHORTAGE of young people. The fact we don’t have enough young people means we will have less new affordable housing being built as less people to build it. 2) affordable housing is typically just used luxury housing that’s a few decades old and has had wear and tear. 3) they can and have built affordable housing new it’s just with the supply chain shortage and housing bubble builders can’t really do that in 2021-2022 like they could 2003 or 2015
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se Wrong. We have less young people willing to work producing quality results. The scant building in place currently can't get the young work force to show up despite higher wages. Newly built homes are tragic in quality. Skilled labor workers are retiring and young 'replacements' lack interest in learning skills and producing quality work. Building a house on a plot of land it's wise to build a more valuable home vs a cheaper one. More profitable to sell a $700K house on the same property that could have had a $300K house built instead. I suspect the new housing will be condos. Same footprint for a small neighborhood but you can stack them on top of one another 15 or 20 floors. 100x more homes on the same property 20 single family homes would take up.
Americans are only offered 3 housing options. While in Europe, Africa, and Asia there are 5 to 6 official housing options. Zoning needs to start allowing more options for consumers, and it would be be much more effective than trying to just build our way out of this. I am talking about formal housing that is modern construction and looks good but the living arrangement and design is much more affordable. Some people want cohabitation, some would go for extended family living on the same property or within a lager house, or a compound, that is multiple homes built on or extended from family owned property. Some groups are going into purchases as a group. The tiny homes while not everyone's cup of tea is a step in the right direction as alternatives go. Put your 18 years old to work but perhaps empty nesting doesn't make since anymore. We can't just fight the system and hope the landlord will be reasonable, a whole rethinking of how we live beyond the traditional styles is needed. I think the battle can be won this way.
What the government needs to do is make tenants responsible. These landlords have every right to raise the rent because they were robbed by the irresponsible people that did not pay their rent during the pandemic when they got those checks and they were also robbed by the government who allowed these people to be free of the responsibility of paying their rent. The government should have forced the banks not to charge the landlords their mortgage payments and they should have allowed the landlords not to pay the property taxes and also they should have forced the insurance companies not,to charge for the property insurance. Why did the government not do this? Also, what the government needs to do is to get the tenants that destroy property out of their section 8 program. In addition, the benefits of this program should only be given to people for about 2-3 years and no more after that. People need to do whatever they can to get on their own feet. There are PLENTY of jobs out there, but people are just lazy because the government encourages them to be lazy and freeload off the working taxpayers. People also need to stop having children that they cannot support. I thank the landlords for raising the rents across the country. These irresponsible tenants deserve what they get. I really hope that many more landlords across the country stop taking section 8 recipients and perhaps this will make people more responsible.
So many landlords complain about the cost of keeping up their rental property. If it is so expensive to keep a rental property and then just sell it to someone.
I live in a small city in upstate New York. My rent last year was 722 for a one bed. Next year it will be 1022. That’s a 41% increase. Just sharing the story for others to see.oh and I have a corporate landlord
@@ssj2camaro21 People who choose to be poor or low income. I went from convince store clerk to hairdresser to RN over 30 years. It was work but I wanted more so I became more.
Rent has to go high because too many people don’t pay at all. Eviction cost is sky high. Tenants who threaten landlords physical harms cannot be prosecuted because it’s just a landlord tenant issue.
Clark County Nevada has also seen Huge Rent Increases ($300-$900) in 2022. & it's also hard for people to find housing that they can afford now with what current wages that they are making. Also, with the cost of moving & the gas prices currently ($5.40+ Gallon) it's even More of a Challenge for people. My thoughts go out to Tampa residents & their fight for survival & with City Hall to make immediate changes for their citizens.
I quit renting to lowlifes that destroy your property and fight with them every month for rent money. Instead I have listed my rental property as an AirBND and make thousands per year 3x more than I would if I had rented out the property. Win win for me!!!!!
How would you control rent when owners have high commercial mortgages and could use their places as Airbnb stablishments? Even if you put a cap, then how would investors of properties make needed improvements when needed? Is there an increase due to higher commercial mortgages, or is it due to needed supplies to renovate, or is it to pull out more profits and more desired candidates for their housing?
I try to empathize but this is the repercussion of the moratoriums that were put in place. I used to live in a small 6 apartment complex where only I and another tenant were paying but those that weren't paying were always flashing new purses, cars and appliances. It started getting real bad as it brought out the worse in tenants since they could not get kicked out so I sold some stocks and got me a house and I can tell you that it was the best decision ever. I still keep in contact with the landlord and he is telling me that he will have to raise rents as high as he can to make up for the 2 years of lost rent in order to continue to survive and be able to fix the issues that come up with the complex. The real losers were the landlords these past 2 years and now the same people that did not pay are crying wolf.... what happened to adults being adults...mind you, I am a millennial that does not fall into all the stereotypes and I am raising my kids to follow in my foot steps and be honest and productive members of society. Now if more would so the same, imagine the height of our economy.
Umm 🤔 okay, it’s more likely they are raising rent due to high demand and low supply. It’s nearly impossible to find a place to rent in my area, demand has skyrocketed.
@@blessyourheart175 Why do you think the low supply happened? Maybe owners decided that once the non-paying tenants moved out after 2 yrs (moratorium) that they would rather sell or move in family....
Lots of homeowners in my area sold there home because value skyrocketed. I believe a combination of people migrating away from populated cities in masses created a boom in demand coupled with the pandemic rent situation. Some renters saved money not paying their rent and they became buyers.
@@blessyourheart175 I was paying $1,000 for a tiny studio a year ago, now the rent went to $2,000 when i moved to a different place but same county. Insane, and mind you i paid my rent every month through the pandemic. I have never missed a rent payment in my life.
Very well said and thank you for stating what should be obvious! I was telling myself when it was about to expire, “here we go, local news will having someone crying about being kicked out, while they had 18 months to not pay rent even if they were getting paid and blew the saved money away and other stimulus. Give me a break!” Yes, so true! Everyone is crying wolf while the rest of us were smart and saw this coming. I feel bad for the renters who did pay the entire time and now they gotta deal with this. They can blame their neighbors.
These areas aren’t for poor people. Look at Hawaii the locals that work there can’t afford to live there. Tampa is no exception. Poor people can’t afford it because it’s too beautiful and the rich want it.
It is too expensive to live there, then you have to move. Sorry, 2yrs of people not paying rent, and then not paying landlords directly, caused this situation.
it's not just Tampa! It's all over FL and here in SW FL its so bad that the burger flipping underpaid minimum wage earners even the ones that just recently began earning the $15 an hour min wage can not afford the rents. Not only that but try moving and qualifying for rents here when most say you need to earn 3 X the amount of rent per month. Most don't, the medium income wage as reported on the states websites don't match up!
@@cosmicllama6910 boomers trying to live on only Social Security (and there are many) are not living the high life, they might even be sleeping in cars.
2008 caused many builders to go under, so scant home building for the past 14 years, now with supply chain issues and higher labor costs it's impossible to build 'affordable housing' for even first time home buyers. My grandkids are waiting for me to die to get my house and my 5 rental properties!!!! They will probably push me down the stairs soon.
@@maliikm I agree, I think a smaller, affordable home make sense. But you also have to buy the land that is zoned for residential property, get plumbing and sewer, electric to the property, lay the foundation, etc. that's going to easily double the cost. I think condos are the most affordable to build. Same land footprint for a small neighborhood of single family homes but you can stack them 15 floors high (or more/less). Sell them only to owner occupy buyers, not corporations to rent out.
That is so horrible. And they are going to pay God is watching this mess. So called are helping clean up the homeless, but landlords are making more homelessness. Just horrible.
People need to start investing in buying a mobile home or something buy a trailer or condo until you can afford a house after you lay the cost of the property off you just have taxes which are cheaper then rent.... renting is not supposed to be permanent because you don't own anything or have any protection at the end buying is better for long term living

They had rent control back in the 60s. I sympathize with the landlords but you can't recoup your losses by raising the rent so high that people can't afford it. All you're going to do is lose more revenue.
I just wanna add with everything going on that can go wrong and uncertainty on top of that.... These are for the slum lords 😡If ya'll are charging this high ass new rent for OLD ass buildings. Then you better dam well be on your A game. No roaches,noise,breakins,water shut off without notice, shottings,and YOU BETTER HAVE GATES, SECURITY AND AMENITIES. FOR MY RENT.🤨
It's horrible. My landlord raised my rent twice in one year, I didn't have a lease, so he got me. He's getting ready to raise it again and he can get away with it and our elected officials HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY FL ARE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT.

I think these property owners and landlords are raising rents so excessively high, that they are forcing out certain groups of the population that they deem undesirable all over the country. People who didn't pay their rent for 2 years and likely bankrupted a lot of mom & pop property owners who were very reasonable, had to sell to these investment groups who don't give a shit about what you're going thru. So they jack the rent up so high because they know certain people can't afford it and will have no choice but to vacate their apartment.
Bingo!
That’s exactly what happened.
Absolutely! Government made this happen. If they pass rent control even less rental units will be on the market further increase rent.

THAT PART
When I was homeless with my child years ago! I found me a good gas station with a clean outside bathroom! I would head over their at 4-430 am and bring a book bag purse with a towel and some rags soap and clean change of clothes. I even had a bucket to fill up with hot warm water to pour on us to rinse of over in over like a shower! That water was piping hot! We took a good hot bath there and I was even able to wash our hair and blow dry it and my child’s hair! Get dressed like I was at home! Nobody ever knew we was homeless not even the clerk at the store! I learned to beat the traffic so I went early to get my daily bath and nightly bath! I did have a job just no home! The people on my Jon would say you always smell so good! Hearing that made me feel so low! Knowing where I took my bath at! My child went to daycare! This kind of life was hard to do daily! I pray these people make it out of this mess alright!

Why didn’t you give your child to it’s father or a family member who could take care of the child. It’s one thing if you want to live in a car but allowing your child to suffer through that isn’t praise worthy. Your pride was in the way… you could have consulted a women and children shelter and / homeless camp where the they take you in.

This is happening everywhere. In all of the states. So what happens when the rent is so high that the property owners can't find anyone (and I mean good tenants that would pay the rent and they work and follow rules) can't afford to rent. And the property owner has empty units. Their not bringing in any money by being greedy. Sooner or later their gonna have to bring the rent down. You can't make money on empty units.

I was thinking the same thing but it will take them years to back down because they have already gotten wayyy too used to all that sweet extra cash. What I predict is that we will see an increase of people living with each other first. More children living with parent til 30s. More roommates. More couples staying together because it's cheap even though they already broke up. People getting on each other nerves because they are forced to live together to save money. And finally after this goes on for a while and those other units sit empty for too long, we will see rent specials and decreases to finally fill them again.
@@joanfrederick9176 Do you honestly believe there's a national housing crisis because of the people that didn't pay during the pandemic? Government statistics say that was a very low number of renters. Things like a $50 non refundable application fee taken from 187 people for 1 apartment, that's $9,350 of pure greed on ONE apartment. There are more landlords that took covid funds than people that didn't pay. An automatic 6% increase in rent yearly to cover upgrades and repairs they say. If I buy a house can I lower my payment 6% every year to cover upgrades and repairs? Is that how it works?
What happens when all the working-class people are priced out of the area???
The same thing that happened in NYC, San Francisco and Boston….they are forced to leave and live in towns far away from where they work. This is our reality now. Real estate is just a gigantic bank for rich people and soon all of our cities will be vacant and unaffordable for everyone(even the upper middle class). Bf and I make a combined income of 140,000 dollars, so you’d think an apartment in the city or house would be affordable. Homes and rent are just so expensive where we are that it is improbable. It appears that this is also happening all over the country as well, so moving is futile. Floridians and southerners are going to experience what the Northeast and West Coast have been experiencing for 20+ years now.

I've read many of the comments & replies in this thread. The lack of humanity is sickening. It appears that those that have a home, condo, etc that they own (most talking so rudely "still" pay a mortgage) feel it is OK to troll, and out those who don't have a place to buy and are obviously forced to rent there place. Most did not ride the waive of "free rent" and the free money wave via unemployment. Consider this you might have something (I hope not) happen to you were you go through your savings, your plan B, and your plan C. You might loose your job, your taxes might go up so high that you cannot keep your home you worked hard for etc. When the rich want your home, your land, etc for their Trust Fund Babies, for their Hedge Fund Babies etc. I've seen all my life that taxes go up so high on your averagely priced home that have to move. Then you become the renter, the slave, and the person getting trolled. Americans are such greedy people I see, we take more than what me need, and have more than we can use just so we can point down at others and say to bad. So what about the youth? Think about it for a moment. How will they afford to buy a house? And don't say they will have yours. You might need to sell it to pay for your medical care when you get older leaving them nothing. Wake up everyone please. They Super Wealthly are done putting white vs people of other colors. They are now praying on what most of America use to be. Middle class. We have went from 3 classes to 2 classes. Keep thinking you're middle class when you're not because you already have a home, what you consider a good job, etc and you will soon find out that to the rich you're actually poor. There's no middle class anymore. I make about $79k a year and I'm struggling so hard and have no kids. I am man enough to admit for the 1st time in life I don't know what I will do come September. I have no family. They all died off poor. I worked hard to get to that pay. Some say it's a lot but there's nothing to buy. Corporations buy up the houses to air bnb them forcing more into rent than ever. It's sad I see so many of you talking about how many places you own and rent out. Do you really need so much? What about you're own extended family that have to rent? You don't even help them. Instead you'd much rather enslave others that struggle too but pay you much more. See you don't want to help you only want money money money! So cut the BS and don't be a landlord. Be a corrupt politician you long to be. I hope humanity fights back or all of you just past away and meet your maker in judgment.

I agree rent is too high, but instead of blaming the landlord why don't they start pushing for lower property taxes and house insurance is raising .
The State of Florida should start by basing property taxes on the purchase price of the property. Huge increases in property taxes every year on investment properties drives up the cost for owners, therefore forces them to raise the rent to make up for it.
People will refuse to acknowledge the simple validity/common sense of this comment, and will continue to blame landlords.
Since Florida has no personal,income tax. the money has to come from somewhere. You guys may have to do a constitutional referendum and cap property taxes hikes .
Investment properties are the problem...
I wish they will stop charging 3- times rent to get place to live. And stop getting everyone that’s adult to pay for application fee for same apartment. It should only be one fee. For example when purchasing a house you only pay one closing costs

They need to put a rental CAP on all rentals no human has a right to make profit off another human to survive because thats where things are done unfairly and GREED comes into place. I think the governments should take over and rents should be flat rate based off income.
It’s like that in nyc only based on income
@Haley Tathem good luck making money with your greedy self
This is what the reset is all about, more government control.Look at communist countries where the government controls every part of a persons life. Ask yourself if you want to stand in a bread line managed by the government? This is by design, from the high rents to high gas, to inflation. The Democratic socialists in the Biden administrtion want everyone to get used to having less than nothing
The very same government calling for rent control is the same that increases the inputs costs for landlords.
Rent control what about tax, insurance and gas control and everything else.

Subsidize more construction to increase the housing supply. That way more units are available which will help ease demand. Build new rental units meant for affordability instead of only putting up luxury units. Rent control doesn't work in the long run because developers have no incentive. This slows development
Where is this non NIMBY land for them to build on ? Where are the investors that are ok with 30% of the profits they could get ?
Many new housing developments are bought by investors and turned into rentals. Yes they’re buying up whole neighbourhoods.
A friend of mine is in rent control apartment in NYC. He has 3 bedrooms and lives alone. he'd like to move to a studio or 1 bedroom and let a family move into his unit but he's trapped there by rent control. If he moves to a smaller place he'll pay 4 times what he's paying now. Rent control doesn't work
Subsidize is the same as welfare. NO!
Thats not gonna work. They do somethong similar in NYC and the apartments are still unaffordable. I was on the lottery for one and when I got picked, it was 2300 for a 1 bedroom. Thats not including utilities. Developers only want to make luxury places. They dont care about who can and cannot afford to live.
Rent increase by 500.00 per month? 😮
I sorry for what's happening but how many didn't pay rent for up two uears?

My rent is going up by 16% I’m currently looking for yet another place to live. This’ll be my third apartment since the pandemic started.
Florida is one of the hottest real estate markets to buy, invest, and just move to. It’s the new California. There isn’t enough housing to meet the demand so landlords are able to increase rents dramatically. When tenants leave, the landlord is going to make repairs up grade the unit then rent it out in a week to someone out of town moving to Florida for 3 times what they the previous rent was. To some it’s price gouging but to others it means that the original tenants were underpaying what the actual value of that unit is. This is known as price discovery.
Oh I agree whole heartedly. No one seems to understand this. I have a rental in Lakewood Ranch, it’s almost $1,000 under current market value. This means I’m subsidizing someone else. I recently changed property management companies, the new one will address this. Why would I subsidize someone else’s life? The true value is $1,000 more, period.

@@johncpa9196 not saying you shouldn't make a profit. The point is most landlords are price gouging when they don't have to be. It's just a money grab. But its causing longterm effects that is going to be detrimental to society as a whole. You seem like a good landlord. My last place cost the landlord 890 for his mortgage I paid him $1100 for rent. Mortgage didn't change but he raised rent to $2050. I had to quit my hospital job and move.
I used to work for a property management company and the things landlords do to renter's is horrible. Now, where I worked, we were not that expensive, but it was sold and now these shitty little apartments have almost doubled in price in five years. It is absolutely disgraceful and inhumane what landlords get away with. I'm in Indiana and I couldn't believe how the leases were created to punish the renter. The judge, although, a democrat always, always sided with us on cases and sometimes the resident had a valid issue(i.e. unresolved maintenance issues, which is about the only thing a resident could complain about). It was just so heart wrenching to see this. I am so glad I am out of that business. And let me say, I actually worked for one of the more honest landlords. There is an overall lack of respect from reality companies towards their residents. And as we all know we live in a country that values unending, ever rising, reach to the heavens profit, profit, profit!
Bad enough in Florida you don't make any money, even with a degree.
I know the feeling, the government don't give a shit about Americans, things don't change, we all will be home.
This is awful! It happened to me in California. I hear it's happening in NY as well. Where do they want us to go? Where can we go that's more affordable?
I mean, their is a lot of factors that come into play. For one taxes. Insurance. Material goods. Latino families often live together and split the rent. Indian families also live together. If their isn’t enough housing why do we keep letting more people in? We brainwashed our youth to go to college so now we have a lot of college graduates but no drivers (Indians now) construction workers ( Latinos). Unfortunately it’s all the liberal policies that end up hurting their voter base. I’m not saying republicans are better but with them, at least I know where I stand. The liberal pretends that he cares but he’s only turning you into more of a slave.
That's what happens when you vote Democrat. Lol
@@rhondae8222 yes because if Republicans got full control and had their way, nobody would be homeless and there would be no crime?

I hear it’s affordable in West Virginia and Alabama.
Blame Trump. This is what happens when you elect a bankrupt business man as president… he bankrupts the country.
Every two families link up and purchase one home until you buy up every house in that area neighborhood or on the street. If landlords want to force us out then we force them out! These are our neighborhoods we grew up in and we're not going to let anyone come in and keep kicking us out of our neighborhoods so every two families link up purchase one house until you buy everything you want. Godspeed
The rich will have to eat money if the poor stops making food.
Rent control is not the answer. Wait a few years and the cost of maintenance will exceed the landlords' income. As economist Thomas Sowell states, maintenance, repairs, painting, cleaning, heat, hot water all decline. And later the landlords may abandon them. And they become slums.
In Arizona landlords pay immigrants to do all that work ...for nickles & dimes. Thats how companies continue to make profits in the Country of Endless Inflation.
every apartments i lived in since the 80s there was that maintenance man who knew little english who wasnt paid a "wage" to work there but he was given a 1 bedroom apartment to live in rent free....even tho he did 1000s of dollars in labor monthly. no medical no benefits
Bingo!!
It's time for disenfranchised groups in any state to come together and formulate your own communities that means you're going to have to build alliances with one or two other families or groups of families and start purchasing power put your money together and purchase power.

I'm seeing alot of comments about lowering the cost of insurance rates and taxes. My question and I think this is the most important one "if the initial cause is "rising costs" for the property owner(s)/landlord which in turn results in increasing housing prices, then what is making those initial cost go up? Where is the domino falling first? From what I'm gathering that seems to be one of the talking points here.
In addition to that another comment that I've seen and it is sooooooo relevant that we try to uncover this history. Someone mention that the rent increases is to move certain groups of people out of certain areas of the country. Unfortunately there is great amount of truth to that and the racist history behind that is still affecting us to this day. Housing laws in the early 1900s were designed to prohibit non-whites from owning property and actually having any economic mobility and now we are all feeling the affects of outdated laws that were designed to oppress all groups of non-whites.
In this case, city hall actually can do something about it. Look at the laws that are on the books and either rewrite them or just get rid of them and this just doesn't need to happen on a local level. These laws need to be ratified on a state and national level. We the working people are what keeps this country moving and we can't do that if we don't have a place to live.
I understand what your saying but I don't believe race has anything to do with what is happening here in Florida. More like classism, everyone from the north is moving here where there wages are much higher. So they inflated the markets to get away from the cities for tons of reasons. Covid mandates, working from home became more available, and what was Florida's low living costs. The investors and owners saw this and realized just like the housing market these folks wanted housing and they were willing to pay a ridiculous amount. It's hurting the working class here though. Wages will rise eventually here or people will leave Florida for other states. But I feel horrible for the people who it's affecting that don't have many options.
The costs of buying a home are also insane, there is no housing relief anywhere. Income restrictions aren't based on real market rates. Also no one factors in college debt. I literally saw income restricted communities nicer than the ones cheaper on the free market when I was looking for the best bargain when I first got out of school. I don't agree with affordable housing restriction EVERYONE should have a right to affordable housing options. This is why so many cannot afford to buy, high prices and corporation buying everything for sale, outbidding actual people who would be the home dwellers. It's a nationwide issue. Eventually people are going to push back hard. Maybe this summer when the weather is hot.
Rent control or more homelessness, you decide. Which means those without a address may not be able to vote some of you back into office. America Must fix this problem, that is weakening the country ability to move forward.

How about pushing back against property taxes for those offering rentals. Mine were doubled this year. Paints cost $40 a gallon now. How am I supposed to keep offering the same rent, do they just want housing to go bankrupt? I also had to pay for the building. And then they complain about cheap apartments not being available
This is happening across the entire country in every state. Prices for everything including necessities have increased. The problem is that our paychecks have only seen about a 4% increase since the pandemic. Before that, the pay for our labor did not keep pace with the increases with cost of living for decades. And, who pays for all those taxes? Companies and CEO have to make their profits somehow. How else are they going to afford their mansions, yachts, and private jets? I guess people are supposed to be thankful that they have a job that can afford them a tent?

People need to practice birth control. With the supply chain issue, demands for higher wages there are not going to be any affordable housing built in our lifetime. If there is any building it will be high end building that can make a profit. Housing poor people isn't profitable.
1) we have a population SHORTAGE of young people. The fact we don’t have enough young people means we will have less new affordable housing being built as less people to build it. 2) affordable housing is typically just used luxury housing that’s a few decades old and has had wear and tear. 3) they can and have built affordable housing new it’s just with the supply chain shortage and housing bubble builders can’t really do that in 2021-2022 like they could 2003 or 2015
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se Wrong. We have less young people willing to work producing quality results. The scant building in place currently can't get the young work force to show up despite higher wages. Newly built homes are tragic in quality. Skilled labor workers are retiring and young 'replacements' lack interest in learning skills and producing quality work. Building a house on a plot of land it's wise to build a more valuable home vs a cheaper one. More profitable to sell a $700K house on the same property that could have had a $300K house built instead.
I suspect the new housing will be condos. Same footprint for a small neighborhood but you can stack them on top of one another 15 or 20 floors. 100x more homes on the same property 20 single family homes would take up.
Americans are only offered 3 housing options. While in Europe, Africa, and Asia there are 5 to 6 official housing options. Zoning needs to start allowing more options for consumers, and it would be be much more effective than trying to just build our way out of this. I am talking about formal housing that is modern construction and looks good but the living arrangement and design is much more affordable. Some people want cohabitation, some would go for extended family living on the same property or within a lager house, or a compound, that is multiple homes built on or extended from family owned property. Some groups are going into purchases as a group. The tiny homes while not everyone's cup of tea is a step in the right direction as alternatives go. Put your 18 years old to work but perhaps empty nesting doesn't make since anymore. We can't just fight the system and hope the landlord will be reasonable, a whole rethinking of how we live beyond the traditional styles is needed. I think the battle can be won this way.
I’m in the North Carolina area. I get all the local news across the globe! This is horrible! Smh
What the government needs to do is make tenants responsible. These landlords have every right to raise the rent because they were robbed by the irresponsible people that did not pay their rent during the pandemic when they got those checks and they were also robbed by the government who allowed these people to be free of the responsibility of paying their rent. The government should have forced the banks not to charge the landlords their mortgage payments and they should have allowed the landlords not to pay the property taxes and also they should have forced the insurance companies not,to charge for the property insurance. Why did the government not do this? Also, what the government needs to do is to get the tenants that destroy property out of their section 8 program. In addition, the benefits of this program should only be given to people for about 2-3 years and no more after that. People need to do whatever they can to get on their own feet. There are PLENTY of jobs out there, but people are just lazy because the government encourages them to be lazy and freeload off the working taxpayers. People also need to stop having children that they cannot support. I thank the landlords for raising the rents across the country. These irresponsible tenants deserve what they get. I really hope that many more landlords across the country stop taking section 8 recipients and perhaps this will make people more responsible.
So many landlords complain about the cost of keeping up their rental property. If it is so expensive to keep a rental property and then just sell it to someone.

How would you control rent when owners have high commercial mortgages and could use their places as Airbnb stablishments? Even if you put a cap, then how would investors of properties make needed improvements when needed? Is there an increase due to higher commercial mortgages, or is it due to needed supplies to renovate, or is it to pull out more profits and more desired candidates for their housing?
I try to empathize but this is the repercussion of the moratoriums that were put in place. I used to live in a small 6 apartment complex where only I and another tenant were paying but those that weren't paying were always flashing new purses, cars and appliances. It started getting real bad as it brought out the worse in tenants since they could not get kicked out so I sold some stocks and got me a house and I can tell you that it was the best decision ever. I still keep in contact with the landlord and he is telling me that he will have to raise rents as high as he can to make up for the 2 years of lost rent in order to continue to survive and be able to fix the issues that come up with the complex. The real losers were the landlords these past 2 years and now the same people that did not pay are crying wolf.... what happened to adults being adults...mind you, I am a millennial that does not fall into all the stereotypes and I am raising my kids to follow in my foot steps and be honest and productive members of society. Now if more would so the same, imagine the height of our economy.
Umm 🤔 okay, it’s more likely they are raising rent due to high demand and low supply. It’s nearly impossible to find a place to rent in my area, demand has skyrocketed.
@@blessyourheart175 Why do you think the low supply happened? Maybe owners decided that once the non-paying tenants moved out after 2 yrs (moratorium) that they would rather sell or move in family....
Lots of homeowners in my area sold there home because value skyrocketed. I believe a combination of people migrating away from populated cities in masses created a boom in demand coupled with the pandemic rent situation. Some renters saved money not paying their rent and they became buyers.

Very well said and thank you for stating what should be obvious! I was telling myself when it was about to expire, “here we go, local news will having someone crying about being kicked out, while they had 18 months to not pay rent even if they were getting paid and blew the saved money away and other stimulus. Give me a break!” Yes, so true! Everyone is crying wolf while the rest of us were smart and saw this coming. I feel bad for the renters who did pay the entire time and now they gotta deal with this. They can blame their neighbors.
These areas aren’t for poor people. Look at Hawaii the locals that work there can’t afford to live there. Tampa is no exception. Poor people can’t afford it because it’s too beautiful and the rich want it.
It is too expensive to live there, then you have to move. Sorry, 2yrs of people not paying rent, and then not paying landlords directly, caused this situation.
I'm sure landlords got PPP loans and the rental assistance assisted them too.
it's not just Tampa! It's all over FL and here in SW FL its so bad that the burger flipping underpaid minimum wage earners even the ones that just recently began earning the $15 an hour min wage can not afford the rents. Not only that but try moving and qualifying for rents here when most say you need to earn 3 X the amount of rent per month. Most don't, the medium income wage as reported on the states websites don't match up!
