Dawn Turner+FollowThe Rent Notice on the DoorThe landlord taped the rent increase notice to our door—no knock, no explanation. Three months later, rent was up 18%. Most people on our floor work service or temp jobs. Someone asked about housing assistance. The answer was simple: “The list is full.” Policy says the market regulates itself. When it only moves one way, fairness feels like a joke. #HousingCrisis #RentIncrease #AffordableHousing #UrbanLife00Share
morrisonjoseph+FollowA $350 Rent Increase the Week Before ThanksgivingWe live in an old Denver apartment. The landlord emailed saying rent would go up by $350 next month. After recalculating our budget, Thanksgiving dinner became impossible. I told my kid, “We’ll keep it simple this year.” He asked, “Did we do something wrong?” I didn’t know how to answer. We didn’t do anything wrong—life just keeps getting more expensive. #HousingCrisis #RentIncrease #ThanksgivingStruggles #CostOfLiving #RealStories43Share
