      In the last year my mortgage has ballooned by over 1k a month from 1600$ to 2700$. In that same period my basement tenant has seen her rent increase 0$.

      Why? Because mortgage rates and affording my house are not her problem. That’s the responsibility I assumed when I bought the house. I don’t intend to raise her rent now or any time in the future.

      Sadly, I keep being painted with the same brush as all the other quite frankly shitty people that call themselves landlords.
