10 Cities for Retirees Who Want To Take it Easy

Editor's note: This article was originally published on March 10, 2023. It has since been updated. It is no surprise to anyone that property and rent rates are skyrocketing and without a doubt, people are suffering through a cost of living crisis. In such difficult circumstances, there are still people and landlords who are doing everything they can to extort money from their tenants, no matter their current situation. Similarly, Raul Bolufe, a TikTok user with the handle @therealraulbolufe, has taken an extreme measure in his series of videos. He has recorded his phone conversations with a tenant to inform her that he intends to more than double her monthly rent.

President Joe Biden's recent proposal of a 5 percent rent cap has ignited mixed reactions among landlords and tenants. The measure aims to address the affordability crisis in the rental market, particularly in areas with skyrocketing prices. Corporate landlords face the choice of complying with the 5 percent cap or risking the loss of federal tax breaks, prompting concerns among them. While tenants see the proposal as a positive step towards making housing more accessible, some landlords are wary of the potential impact on their investments. The proposed rent cap would primarily affect larger landlords with over 50 units, sparing smaller operators from its effects.
