Here’s the bullshit. 

Investors either have no mortgage, or a fixed cost mortgage if they didn’t pay cash for the property. So long as you have a renter you are in good shape. 

I’m not against profit, but annual rent adjustments or the good ol “market rate” excuse to justify a rent increase are absolutely horrendous. Your costs didn’t change, and if they went up you’re doing it wrong. You’re making money on the appreciation of the asset and cash flow is necessary to run a business, but taking extra every renewal because you can is unnecessary. 

People need affordable housing. 

Shelter is a basic necessity and investors are literally using that fact to wring every dime out of renters. To top it off they provide the lowest level of service imaginable because renters are contractually obligated to stay unless the problems are SEVERE. The laws are stacked against renters. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster I can buy my home and not deal with the leaches.
