Rent increases

new landlord announced 22% rent rate increase; think this is overly abusive to me and should be illegal but probably isn't? should not be much more than 3.5% increase. felt like complaining. any helps? thanks !

We lived in a mobile home park for 17 years. Management served us with a unlawful detainer, we went to court for a year, lost the case. We were forced to move out in 5 days. Under the stipulation, we were allowed to remove the mobile home or sell it. When we tried selling it, management told us No, the property was going to be used for "other purposes" we tried to sell it to the park, they said no. We tried to move it, they only gave us 2 days was insufficient to move a mobile home.

Mutiple evictions from new managment. Nickle and dimeing tenants with threat of eviction. Safety issues. Many spanish speaking only are discriminated.

I live in an apartment complex in the Santa Clarita Valley. I have lived at this location for about four years. I recently got my renewal notice from the management. I was horrified to learn that my rent is being increased by 7%. I was not given enough notice to move out, so I am now in a bad situation. The rent has increased steadily over the last four years. Further, I will now be paying 26% higher than when I first moved here, which I think is outrageous (my salary is definitely not 26% higher). Needless to say, these constant increases in rent put a terrible strain on my finances.

I have lived at this location since July 1992. I am retired, on a fixed income. My landlord, when raising the rent justifies by comparing newer and upgraded properties in the immediate area. Ther is an increase in new developments in the South Bay, but very little constructions for affordable housings. My building is falling apart, with damage from the 89 earthquake, which seems to be getting worse. If we want items replaced due to wear and tear the tenants have to contribute half the cost for replacement.

I've lived here for 10 years rent was 1150 on move in increased over the past few years to 1300 due to the fact I had to change units due to mold. Received a piece of paper on my doorstep yesterday morning advising the rent is going from 1300 to 1800 on April 1. Or If I sign another year lease then its only going to 1700. How gracious! so Basically a 40% increase and notified by leaving a piece of paper on my door step. I'm in the area of the crumblling cliff of Pacifica so now am neighbor to two abandoned buildings lovely area!!!!

After the new landlord bought our building over a year ago they had someone from corporate look us in the eye and promise not to raise rent. This year they raised all tenants rent 9-10% with no negotiation or consideration for good tenants who were here many years before they took over. After I learned of this I let them know I was going to form a tenant association within the building to give the tenants a stronger voice against the new landlord.
