minus-squareChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoBetter pass a rent freeze first or that property tax increase will just get passed on to the people who can afford it least.
minus-squareiopq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoRent freezes make landlords only do the bare minimum maintenance required by the law since they can’t increase rents when doing any remodelling.
minus-squareSharkticon@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoHoney landlords already do the bare minimum.
minus-squareiopq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoOnly in rent-controlled markets. In other markets they remodel to jack up the prices, but you would complain about that too
