Due to recent laws, if a tenant rents for over a year, the landlord is restricted in how much they can from then on raise the rent. This is causing landlords to either turn over tenants every year, thus only a year max rental is possible; or landlords are exhorbatantly raising rent now to cover prospective future market increased costs to buffer needs their own finances.
Additionally, this year judges are now permitted to approve landlords replacing tenants who did not pay rent during Covid who were before protected by a “stay-of-action” law. Thjs has resulted in a deluge of sudden evictions, resulting in a sudden greater demand for rental housing.
Add to this that to stay at lodging every month while seeking housing costs at minimum $2,700 per month, which means saving money for a new deposit and first month’s rent becomes near impossible, creating extreme difficulty in regaining housing stability.
