If someone owns a property they have the right to charge what ever they choose. It is not government's place to make that decision. If you want to control your cost buy a home.
I am 44 yrs. old. A Tampa native. My girlfriend and I have lived in the same apartment for 6 yrs and we are moving out because our rent to renew has gone up 16% this year alone. We are looking into buying instead of renting and can't find anything due to ridiculous HOA fees and house flippers paying cash at or above market value buying up everything and artificially raising market prices. It's ridiculous. We're being priced out of the housing market in the city I was born in by laws passed the year I was born. Something has to be done soon.
There are cheaper places to live in other areas of the country. Sometimes you have to move even if you don't want too. I've done it before. I didn't have any money either.
Literally no where in the US will you find an apartment for $250 or under... that should be adjusted for inflation to be about $1,119 . And even that is quickly being left behind. Taking advantage of old texts smh
The city council members, their friends or family members likely own real estate investments so there’s no incentive for them to pass rent control measures .. those who benefit from a problem don’t need a solution..
I am a landlord , government should make it fair for both landlord and tenant. Places in California favors more the tenants then the landlords. And vise versa. Not all landlords are greedy as you may think. I will be waiting for your comments.
Yep that’s right every body invested in Wall Street got money invested into real estate there are rich people overseas got money invested into real estate and they are going to recoup their money from the moratorium rent lost and they all know it, hell I know it.
There are using a 1977 rent values not indexed for inflation: over $250.00 rent = luxury and not subject to rent control. The inflation adjusted value of $250 for 1977 is $about $1255 today. Rent hikes are out of control.
If your rent is over $250 per month, there is no rent control?! This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Gosh, what a slap in the face! Truly disgusting!
The news and journalism is a joke in Florida. There isn't just one way to use rent control, and of course all property isn't the same. A simple rule about how much a LL can increase on an existing tenant in good standing should suffice for most. In my complex, a LL just raised rent $500 on a tenant of 3 yrs in good standing, just because he can get more. Why not raise it a little and keep a good tenant? Our taxes or fees haven't increased, so it's just greed.
Thank god! I have 5 houses I have worked my entire life to purchase and now I am retired with a great income from those houses and you my liberal friend would have the government just basically take my homes and give them to the losers that do not want to work and let me live a paltry existence in my old age.

@@keithsnider1958 not really it’ll be hilarious less housing available and all the properties will be falling apart cause you can’t make enough to even break even. Hope you like living in houses falling apart lol.
@@keithsnider1958 well to the other rent control is not all sunshine and rainbows. Less incentive to build more multifamily housing which if you live in any major city it’s impossible to just build single family houses.
@@lalawala9929 the argument is that as rent control force landlords to limit how much they can charge tenants and corporate developers who are the main players will decided not to build more apartment since they cannot make a killing in profit, small landlord to escape that sell their units/ airbnb it or leave it vacant this create shortage as city growing ,since local government are not in the business of building homes but provide services and collect tax it created a lot more problems as a result
Yes… you are absolutely correct. It forces landlords to sell to a new owner so that the new landlord can evict the tenants, and get the current fair market value for the units.
I moved to Boca Raton FL in Aug 2021 and I had to pay 24% over asking in order to seal the deal. I see so much talk about this and Inflation but the problem is it seems like nothing is being done.
Price you pay for the good fortune of living in a free state. Can't tell private property owners what to charge for rent. That's socialism. I sure don't like to see people priced out of their homes. But as a home owner myself that pays upkeep, taxes, and insurance on my own property, I sure don't want someone telling me what to do with it!
Well, I can't feel at all sorry for you. If you can afford to live in boca raton, you aren't exactly hurting for money. Stop looking for sympathy, please.
@@sharoncrawford7192 Lol, Everyone assumes that everyone in Boca Raton is rich. You think the people that live a block away from RR Tracks in these old run down 1 and 2 bedroom apartments have money.
Socialism is not an on/off switch where a country either is or isn't. Every society is socialist to some degree along the scale, and rightly so. The USA has been moderately socialist for a century and it has keep you alive and safe. To reverse that would be a setback to the wild west.
Landlords are getting crushed with the rise in property taxes and insurance in Florida. Stop penalizing investment properties with an unpayable hike in property taxes year after year.
The government is failing the people…35% increase in ONE year is outrageous! No wonder homelessness is exploding in Florida. It is a similar nightmare here in Palm Beach county.
Now they know they dead ass wrong so you mean to tell me that the Florida law in 1977 passed saying anything over 250 is a Luxury Apartment Is up to date & actuate in 2022 😳🤔
In Florida company need to stop buying all the house! working class people need homes.They buy them to charge HOA! And fees!!!! I live in Orlando Florida! If desantis doesn't do nothing about rent or homes prices!!! Vote him out!
I hate when they cite legal concerns so they can use the money to help. There’s usually never as much money set aside, only the poorest will qualify, and the problem continues to grow.
It's all about greed. No one cares. If you can leave, that's your best bet. The market may never correct itself. My rent in the Tampa suburbs went up 22%. I can begrudgingly afford it by cutting back on my catch-up retirement savings. I can't move right now but next year at renewal time I'm leaving. FL isn't the paradise it's cracked up to be. Warm weather and no state taxes are nice but hurricanes and expensive everything else, not worth it.
Why are people renting their entire lives as that man said. Renting should be short term while you are in the process of buying a home. Until the past few years there was affordable housing to buy, 15 years ago homes were at the lowest prices. If anyone is 40 today and didn't pick up a deal 10 years ago they missed out on the opportunity of the century to own a home. The story of the Grasshopper and the Ants.
Meanwhile, people ages 23-28 right now are absolutely screwed. I see so many people my age paying 20%+ what a house is worth and they’ll be in negative equity for 4-5 years. So for their sake I pray they can live within their means for the impending recession. Q4 2022 housing is going to spiral. Amount of houses YOY in the western mountain states is going up over 200% in some places such as Idaho. The west was the first to get hit with the bubble so I expect the Midwest to be there in end of ‘22. Florida folks, I’m sorry. Due to greed, and old northerners with Monopoly money, I’m not so sure florida is going to rebound from this. But Miami plummeted in 08 and people were saying the same thing then.
No this is ridiculous. People who have lived in Florida for the last 30 years should not be forced out into the street. We have too many greedy landlords out here that are jacking up the rent knowing that the people who been renting for them long-term cannot pay it. We also have a lot of people from up north that came to Florida during the height of COVID-19 which causes the rates to jack up. The housing market is going to crash. Eventually the landlords are going to have to get rent control because that was the only ones they’re gonna be able to live into these units because of the market crashing. It’s ridiculous Florida used to be a state where you go to retire or if you are disabled you can live on a fixed income and be happy. But it’s not that anymore COVID-19 has put stresses on the people who live in Florida longer than the people who are coming to Florida. And the sad thing about it is there is no more land. If you were to go in the middle of the state and buy rural land you might be able to get something but other than that it is ridiculous that people are just being greedy and jacking up the rents for houses that are really even worth that much. Like for instance a lady is selling her house in the Charles Park area. We all from St. Petersburg Florida who live in Charles Park area I know damn well the house ain’t worth no $425,000. That house is I used to be a drag ride home with multiple gunshots through the window and she wants to sell her house as is for $425,000 you’ve got to be crazy there is no reason for this people can’t afford to live in a tent many people are gonna be forced out into the streets and they gonna be more more children living in hotels because he can’t afford to live in an apartment or a house or condo or townhome it’s ridiculous I don’t know what’s going to happen to the people in Florida but Georgia has lots of land for sale come up to Georgia there’s plenty out here by land get your hands on some acreage and forget about all these people in the state of Florida
People from other states hear about what's happening here. And other places where democrats are elected! There not going to come here. And property owners are screwing themselves! God isn't putting up with the greed! This man was elected because he's black. Since when does your skin color qualify you for office! Supposedly it's charactot!
So people who have lived there only 29 years should get the boot? I'm guessing you've lived there at least 30 years. If you're currently living in St Pete paying rent you can afford to live in 99% of the US and pay less rent than you currently pay. The way cities work....people buy property and try to build up the city to make the city more popular so their property values go up. People have the choice to not buy and be a part of this process and have the freedom renting provides, but at a cost. Look all around the world and you will see exactly the same thing. Places that become popular also become expensive. These resources go to the highest bidder. Of course people who can't bid high still want to enjoy these popular areas. If someone told you renting in St Pete for 30 years entitled you to something they lied to you. Sorry. It was your choice to live there, to rent there. That was the deal.
Rent control how about free. affordable housing assistance who’s paying for it? What about the landlords not getting their money during pandemic, while some are receiving government assistance. My coworker rent out his home about 2 years ago within matter of couples months they stop paying, pandemic came they get to live there for free for next 13 months. He still have to paid his property tax insurance and mortgage. Granted there is plenty of greedy landlords out there. That’s what free market is all about. Buy you own or move.
Things like this should be decided by a community vote,not left to government that are very often receiving money from investors and developers etc etc
@@jermainemyrn19 Sure you can if you have a partner. The problem is most people want to live the single and free lifestyle, but that doesnt work anymore because you need 2 incomes to have a decent standard of living these days. Married couples are doing much better than singles these days.
@@finalchapter24k You’re delusional, not everyone can or should shack up. Divorce rates are also the highest they’ve ever been so there goes your argument.
Thank god I closed on my house right before the scam demic. Can’t imagine trying to find another shithole apartment to rent around here for thousands per month. Got in at just the right time, locked my house in contract as interest rates were falling and before prices went to the moon. I’m up over 100K in equity in less than 2 years 😜
Risk takers are usually rewarded, we bought at the end of 2019 when everyone was saying "NO, the market is going to crash soon" as of today our house has almost $200k of equity. I don't think most landlords are evil, cost of properties, taxes, insurance and repairs have increased significantly so those costs trickles down to renters. No one is going to rent their house for a loss of money.
I bought a home before the great bubble with zero downpayment. It was an obvious decision even back then because mortgage was cheaper than rent. I told all my rental buddies to buy but most ignored me. That property has now tripled in value.
@@Blaze6432 no guarantees...they tried those NINJA loans before..it caused the 2008 housing crash...You want something ( even a house) ? You EARN IT...you work for it..you delay all but basic life sustaining needs to SAVE for it...you are entitled to NOTHING unless you are under 18
@Athena Tanner By that logic, we should have no government, no police, and no military because people should be in charge of everything according to your logic and all responsibility should come from yourself. By that same stupid logic, no children whose parents are poor should be allowed to go to school because people should be able to afford it on their own.
@@Blaze6432 No taxes pay for those services...housing is not the same...they tried public housing..unsafe crime filled slums were the result ( Google Cabrini Green)..they tore them down and replaced that program with section 8 and you see how that worked
I understand why people are angry about the rental increase, but this could have been avoided if people would have just paid their rent to begin with, without sticking the landlord with 2 yrs of back rent that he/she had to absorb. I know this was not everyone, and I also know that there are greedy landlords out there, but there were tenants who did the same and took advantage of the situation who had the means to pay, who were not affected covid 19, which is another excuse they need to stop using as a way to circumvent paying for services. And yes, the govt had no right in telling someone what to do with their property, that is true. But when is thing going to end. And yet, they want govt to enact yet another law to tell the landlord what to do with his/her property. Why be a property owner, if a renter can cry foul, and alter and/or stop your money/income. This is why so many landlords have opted out of property ownership and have decided to sell to investors, because of the lack of control that they have over their property that they legally worked and paid for. Why bother. Ms. L. Churchill
Most landlords got rent relief funds and also hiking up the rent's will hike up your taxes and those taxes go to fund housing programs for the homeless so technically you will still be paying for the people who can't afford your rentals.
BINGO!!! Ian a landlord in Hawaii and totally agree. The government , in seizing our private protest, showed us this is a high risk asset class . What do all high risk asset classes have in cimmmin? High yields to offset the high risk. Sorry folks but you can’t change the laws of economics and finance.
Jeff Barnes dreams of the good old days during the Bolshevik Revolution where they took the homes of the wealthy and put losers like him to live there for free. It is the only reason he votes for the dems. Chagall said when the people vote for the largesse , democracy is dead. I told this moron to read Atlas Shrugged.
It's No such thing as temporary rent control. Just look at the temporary eviction rent moratorium that's going on 2 yrs. And government officials/special interest groups have been trying to make it permanent. But property taxes and repairs on the rentals supposed to still be done if tenant in doesn't pay. So it who is screwing who out of their property rights. I believe this long term rent eviction moratoriums may have sky rocketed rents Now as repercussions,!!!
The tenants should just own their own properties so they can stop complaining. If you can't buy then move. Middle class people from CA had to move to cheaper state then why poor people can't move some where that is even cheaper.
I was a hairdresser and I bought my own home AND 5 rental properties. I wasn't even that good of a hairdresser and I was able to buy property. This guy in the video talks about people living in the apartments their entire lives. Why did they do that? Up until a few years ago affordable housing was very available. I don't get it. I have a high school education and a Cosmetology license and I figured it out.
Eww why are they calling it rent control?? I would take a hard pass on that one too! It sounds like pest control😂😂😂 WHY NOT Rental Cap ?? Or something... Not that
They don't care! Landlords and Government should be ashamed of themselves! Families are being put out in the streets, forced to live in their cars or on sidewalks because of greedy Landlords. I pray that these families somehow are blessed to buy their own homes and that no new renters rent from these landlords that forcing people and their families in the street! Shame on them!
@@musictosoothe, there are many reasons why affordable housing will not save the country from the destabilization, and it is that severe. i.e., the country when housing is in a crisis nationwide. Some reasons are the profit for builders is decreased based on a shortage of laborers, materials, and chain supply issue that does not make it feasible. What is being built morbidly underwhelm that demand of the growing, longer living population. No one cared when the crisis did not impact middle class, and now it does. Builders are leaning towards building communities of For Rent Only homes but not allowed to purchase. The cost of building what is deemed as affordable housing can still cost between 300,000.00 to a 1/2 million depending where one lives, and fewer Americans do not have a living wage. Homeless people work. There is far more profit in building luxury housing, and these are a few reasons.

You can't be this ignorant 🤦🏿♂️ most people don't possess the funds to uproot their entire family and relocate.....let alone the challenges of starting over..... If there's any entitlement it's your way of thinking.... When I graduated from high school (2013) here, you could've easily found a 1br for about $550-650 a month. Not bad for a 18year old with no experience just an ordinary warehouse worker while attending school...... A 1br here currently starts at $1375..... 1st last month plus deposit..... Most properties today require rentals insurance. the same people you imply should move are the same people who make Florida so enjoyable...... These are the people who work at beach resorts, restaurants, amusement theme parks etc...... You take all those people and force them out, Florida isn't the paradise everyone enjoys.
The landlords have to pay more in property taxes and insurance. Also many of these landlords had tenants that did not pay during the pandemic. So what are they supposed to do? I feel bad for those who never stopped paying their rent during the pandemic and now have to pay the piece for the people who did not.
The landlords still own those properties at the end of it so I don’t see the problem… they didn’t lose money, they lost profit. Also property taxes aren’t very expensive, that’s just a cop out. I mean maybe the property taxes are expensive if you have a ton of properties to sit on and just collect and not have a secondary form of income… what were the tenants supposed to do whos actual working jobs were stopped during the pandemic? It’s the same thing, except the landlords are the “business owners” no one told them to rent out properties, you can argue that no one told the tenants to rent that place but it’s not a choice, it’s like choosing to eat food or not, it’s a absolute necessity and a human right…. The landlords raise the rent, then their property taxes increase, because the property tax is based off the price of the property and the whole market is inflating, not because any improvements are don’t on the home no, just because everyone is raising the rate at the same time… then, “to cover the higher property tax” they raise it even more, because the landlords can dish out the rent hikes but don’t want to pay for their taxes increasing. That’s so hypocritical. During the pandemic many many businesses came to a complete stop. What are they supposed to do? You ask… pick up where you left off, don’t price gauge to “get back” at the tenants who are just trying to live someplace. How would you feel if the parents everything else that was affected by the pandemic doubled or tripled in price? Maybe we see a small increase but this, this is not a small increase, this is price gauging and it’s criminal.
@@bluecolumbine you're right in that landlords shouldn't have to rent out their property. They should have the choice of leaving it empty some places they don't allow that or discourage it. But yes, landlords shouldn't have to rent out when they don't want to. And when everybody is upset there's no available cheaper rental housing available and there's a housing shortage, the only people who should be blamed for the housing shortage are the people who discouraged landlords from renting out and earning what they're owed.
@@Eva9000 hey, I hope you didn’t think I was siding with the landlords. Because I am not. I think because they see it as a business, they should have had to stop charging during the pandemic especially because many didn’t have a form of income. Those landscammers who couldn’t afford the mortgage or property tax on the units can lose their properties. If you don’t have the place payed off and if you can’t pay the mortgage without the tenants paying rent, you shouldn’t be a landlord… but that’s just my opinion. There are so many empty homes going to ruin with not being cared for, then the ones for rent they want $3,000 per month and it looks like it’s been vacant for years… it’s total greed. They’d rather try and get the most and sit on it and let it rot then offer someone a fairly priced place to live. It’s very shameful.
@@bluecolumbine if nobody paid the hoa or council/tax and landlords had to helicopter the tenants what's the point of being a landlord? What's the appeal? Having to fork out for some stranger to live in your property with nothing back isn't attractive to many, and being called greedy when you at worst just try breaking even isn't all that great either. If this is how you want landlords to be like you will have no landlords, no rentals, no cheaper option, you stuck being a buyer yourself or living with mum, or worse. And americans wonder why they have a housing shortage. Go encourage more homes to be built if you want out of this rut. Go encourage people to rent out their homes they legally own and paid for out the nose for and stop putting them off from renting out because every little thing you pay for is "greed"
@@Eva9000 they would only be waiting out an international emergency, they will still have their properties when all is done and if they want to extract wealth from us in such a way they should be able to afford that. They are only paying taxes on it and they still own the property so I don’t see the problem. Those who can’t afford it, fine, that just adds more starter homes onto the market. It’s a win win. The problem is every landlord I talk to is complaining about how the tenants “didn’t take care of the property” but that’s why they rent, because they don’t want to maintain property. I don’t know how being a landlord became a passive income scheme but if your not even going to do any repairs or maintenance at least make rent affordable and not 3x what was paid for the original mortgage… because that, is what’s greedy.
Yes,... why doesn't the gov't build affordable apartment buildings instead of trying to force landlords to keep rents low, while raising taxes and insurance, repairs and maintenance? If affordable housing is so possible, let the state or city build it, manage it, and see if they can keep it going.
@@musictosoothe let's see...they did that once upon a time...Public housing units like Cabrini Green....they quickly became unsafe concentrated slum areas...then the decided to create the section 8 program to house people speed out to try and prevent MEGA SLUMS filled with crime...guess what that didn't work either.
As a landlord…Rent control is not a huge obstacle anymore. Just an inconvenience. I just bought a rent controlled unit from a landlord friend. The tenant had no choice, but to leave and the unit was brought up to current market value. Now that he has more capital to work with… I am selling him a rent control unit of mine so that he can do the same thing. In recent years… landlords are finding creative ways to get around this, and are now beginning to work together to put an end to this rent control nonsense.
Government shouldn’t be allowed to put restrictions on property owners. It is a private business. The fair market dictates the rents. It is based on the law of supply and demand. They are usually told to vacate because the home is being sold. They are not given the option to continue to rent there… so they have to find somewhere else more suitable to their lifestyle.
If you dont like it or cant afford it, move! Someone put their necks on the line to purchase these rentals only for the government to come in and tell people they didnt have to pay rent for over a yr which put landlords in a pinch, now they are getting their money back!
Perfect answer Ryan. Unfortunately our "Comrade" wants to bring the Bolshevik revolution to America. He is a total loser. A dem, He does not want to work. he wants to steal from hard working taxpayers.
This guy has no solutions. You sir become a landlord. You cant afford rent. Imagine buying a home and actually rentingbit out and being robbed for 18 months or rent while toubhad tonpaybutilities and taxes while youbwerr robbed. Where were you renters when landlords needed to be treated fairly. You should remain silent now as well while god gives you some justice.
Landlords have never treated people fairly. No one is going to cry for a bunch of lazy people who don't want to have real jobs. You create unnecessary middle men to housing. You don't add any value to society being a landlord.

Rents & mortgages are beyond out of control. The American dream is dead. Welcome to the NEW America, for the rich & powerful only.

@@keithsnider1958 well to the other rent control is not all sunshine and rainbows. Less incentive to build more multifamily housing which if you live in any major city it’s impossible to just build single family houses.
Over time, rent control will lead to a shortage of rental properties as well as deteriorating rental housing.
I always see this argument but never see it elaborated upon. Would you mind?
@@lalawala9929 the argument is that as rent control force landlords to limit how much they can charge tenants and corporate developers who are the main players will decided not to build more apartment since they cannot make a killing in profit, small landlord to escape that sell their units/ airbnb it or leave it vacant this create shortage as city growing ,since local government are not in the business of building homes but provide services and collect tax it created a lot more problems as a result
Yes… you are absolutely correct. It forces landlords to sell to a new owner so that the new landlord can evict the tenants, and get the current fair market value for the units.

Price you pay for the good fortune of living in a free state. Can't tell private property owners what to charge for rent. That's socialism. I sure don't like to see people priced out of their homes. But as a home owner myself that pays upkeep, taxes, and insurance on my own property, I sure don't want someone telling me what to do with it!

It's all about greed. No one cares. If you can leave, that's your best bet. The market may never correct itself. My rent in the Tampa suburbs went up 22%. I can begrudgingly afford it by cutting back on my catch-up retirement savings. I can't move right now but next year at renewal time I'm leaving. FL isn't the paradise it's cracked up to be. Warm weather and no state taxes are nice but hurricanes and expensive everything else, not worth it.
LOL Perhaps they need to change that amount to $2500.
Watching greedy people suffer is so entertaining. Stop them from the rent hike and watch them panic.
Why are people renting their entire lives as that man said. Renting should be short term while you are in the process of buying a home. Until the past few years there was affordable housing to buy, 15 years ago homes were at the lowest prices. If anyone is 40 today and didn't pick up a deal 10 years ago they missed out on the opportunity of the century to own a home. The story of the Grasshopper and the Ants.
I think you are wrong (Respectfully) I think the housing market will crash again and very soon.
Meanwhile, people ages 23-28 right now are absolutely screwed. I see so many people my age paying 20%+ what a house is worth and they’ll be in negative equity for 4-5 years. So for their sake I pray they can live within their means for the impending recession. Q4 2022 housing is going to spiral. Amount of houses YOY in the western mountain states is going up over 200% in some places such as Idaho. The west was the first to get hit with the bubble so I expect the Midwest to be there in end of ‘22. Florida folks, I’m sorry. Due to greed, and old northerners with Monopoly money, I’m not so sure florida is going to rebound from this. But Miami plummeted in 08 and people were saying the same thing then.
the poor are gonna get pushed out the state
Unfortunately until something is done.

No this is ridiculous. People who have lived in Florida for the last 30 years should not be forced out into the street. We have too many greedy landlords out here that are jacking up the rent knowing that the people who been renting for them long-term cannot pay it. We also have a lot of people from up north that came to Florida during the height of COVID-19 which causes the rates to jack up. The housing market is going to crash. Eventually the landlords are going to have to get rent control because that was the only ones they’re gonna be able to live into these units because of the market crashing. It’s ridiculous Florida used to be a state where you go to retire or if you are disabled you can live on a fixed income and be happy. But it’s not that anymore COVID-19 has put stresses on the people who live in Florida longer than the people who are coming to Florida. And the sad thing about it is there is no more land. If you were to go in the middle of the state and buy rural land you might be able to get something but other than that it is ridiculous that people are just being greedy and jacking up the rents for houses that are really even worth that much. Like for instance a lady is selling her house in the Charles Park area. We all from St. Petersburg Florida who live in Charles Park area I know damn well the house ain’t worth no $425,000. That house is I used to be a drag ride home with multiple gunshots through the window and she wants to sell her house as is for $425,000 you’ve got to be crazy there is no reason for this people can’t afford to live in a tent many people are gonna be forced out into the streets and they gonna be more more children living in hotels because he can’t afford to live in an apartment or a house or condo or townhome it’s ridiculous I don’t know what’s going to happen to the people in Florida but Georgia has lots of land for sale come up to Georgia there’s plenty out here by land get your hands on some acreage and forget about all these people in the state of Florida

You want fixed housing costs, BUY A HOUSE
So people who have lived there only 29 years should get the boot? I'm guessing you've lived there at least 30 years. If you're currently living in St Pete paying rent you can afford to live in 99% of the US and pay less rent than you currently pay.
The way cities work....people buy property and try to build up the city to make the city more popular so their property values go up. People have the choice to not buy and be a part of this process and have the freedom renting provides, but at a cost. Look all around the world and you will see exactly the same thing. Places that become popular also become expensive. These resources go to the highest bidder. Of course people who can't bid high still want to enjoy these popular areas.
If someone told you renting in St Pete for 30 years entitled you to something they lied to you. Sorry. It was your choice to live there, to rent there. That was the deal.
@Dot Com the landlord made the decesion to make that decesion to buy property. No one should help a landlord because they want no risk
So fight landlords or pay them off.
Rent control how about free. affordable housing assistance who’s paying for it? What about the landlords not getting their money during pandemic, while some are receiving government assistance. My coworker rent out his home about 2 years ago within matter of couples months they stop paying, pandemic came they get to live there for free for next 13 months. He still have to paid his property tax insurance and mortgage. Granted there is plenty of greedy landlords out there. That’s what free market is all about. Buy you own or move.
It's karma for overcharging in rent.
Also if landlords didn't accept the rental funds the government was paying then it's their fault.

Thank god I closed on my house right before the scam demic. Can’t imagine trying to find another shithole apartment to rent around here for thousands per month. Got in at just the right time, locked my house in contract as interest rates were falling and before prices went to the moon. I’m up over 100K in equity in less than 2 years 😜
Risk takers are usually rewarded, we bought at the end of 2019 when everyone was saying "NO, the market is going to crash soon" as of today our house has almost $200k of equity.
I don't think most landlords are evil, cost of properties, taxes, insurance and repairs have increased significantly so those costs trickles down to renters. No one is going to rent their house for a loss of money.

I understand why people are angry about the rental increase, but this could have been avoided if people would have just paid their rent to begin with, without sticking the landlord with 2 yrs of back rent that he/she had to absorb.
I know this was not everyone, and I also know that there are greedy landlords out there, but there were tenants who did the same and took advantage of the situation who had the means to pay, who were not affected covid 19, which is another excuse they need to stop using as a way to circumvent paying for services.
And yes, the govt had no right in telling someone what to do with their property, that is true.
But when is thing going to end. And yet, they want govt to enact yet another law to tell the landlord what to do with his/her property. Why be a property owner, if a renter can cry foul, and alter and/or stop your money/income.
This is why so many landlords have opted out of property ownership and have decided to sell to investors, because of the lack of control that they have over their property that they legally worked and paid for. Why bother.
Ms. L. Churchill
Most landlords got rent relief funds and also hiking up the rent's will hike up your taxes and those taxes go to fund housing programs for the homeless so technically you will still be paying for the people who can't afford your rentals.

@@winning3329 that is not true, most landlords did not get rent relief because the tenants didn't qualify.

It's No such thing as temporary rent control. Just look at the temporary eviction rent moratorium that's going on 2 yrs. And government officials/special interest groups have been trying to make it permanent. But property taxes and repairs on the rentals supposed to still be done if tenant in doesn't pay. So it who is screwing who out of their property rights. I believe this long term rent eviction moratoriums may have sky rocketed rents Now as repercussions,!!!

Sounds like the apartment owners have the renters by the balls. Frightening!
No one owes you free or low income housing it’s your responsibility to take care of yourself period
The tenants should just own their own properties so they can stop complaining. If you can't buy then move. Middle class people from CA had to move to cheaper state then why poor people can't move some where that is even cheaper.

This is no longer a housing problem, we are now in a humanitarian crisis.
so why doesn't the state build some affordable buildings instead of trying to force private landlords to do their bidding?
@@musictosoothe, there are many reasons why affordable housing will not save the country from the destabilization, and it is that severe. i.e., the country when housing is in a crisis nationwide. Some reasons are the profit for builders is decreased based on a shortage of laborers, materials, and chain supply issue that does not make it feasible. What is being built morbidly underwhelm that demand of the growing, longer living population. No one cared when the crisis did not impact middle class, and now it does. Builders are leaning towards building communities of For Rent Only homes but not allowed to purchase. The cost of building what is deemed as affordable housing can still cost between 300,000.00 to a 1/2 million depending where one lives, and fewer Americans do not have a living wage. Homeless people work. There is far more profit in building luxury housing, and these are a few reasons.

These are the people who work at beach resorts, restaurants, amusement theme parks etc...... You take all those people and force them out, Florida isn't the paradise everyone enjoys.
Funny. Who voted for that law?
The landlords have to pay more in property taxes and insurance. Also many of these landlords had tenants that did not pay during the pandemic. So what are they supposed to do? I feel bad for those who never stopped paying their rent during the pandemic and now have to pay the piece for the people who did not.
The landlords still own those properties at the end of it so I don’t see the problem… they didn’t lose money, they lost profit. Also property taxes aren’t very expensive, that’s just a cop out. I mean maybe the property taxes are expensive if you have a ton of properties to sit on and just collect and not have a secondary form of income… what were the tenants supposed to do whos actual working jobs were stopped during the pandemic? It’s the same thing, except the landlords are the “business owners” no one told them to rent out properties, you can argue that no one told the tenants to rent that place but it’s not a choice, it’s like choosing to eat food or not, it’s a absolute necessity and a human right…. The landlords raise the rent, then their property taxes increase, because the property tax is based off the price of the property and the whole market is inflating, not because any improvements are don’t on the home no, just because everyone is raising the rate at the same time… then, “to cover the higher property tax” they raise it even more, because the landlords can dish out the rent hikes but don’t want to pay for their taxes increasing. That’s so hypocritical. During the pandemic many many businesses came to a complete stop. What are they supposed to do? You ask… pick up where you left off, don’t price gauge to “get back” at the tenants who are just trying to live someplace. How would you feel if the parents everything else that was affected by the pandemic doubled or tripled in price? Maybe we see a small increase but this, this is not a small increase, this is price gauging and it’s criminal.
@@bluecolumbine you're right in that landlords shouldn't have to rent out their property. They should have the choice of leaving it empty some places they don't allow that or discourage it.
But yes, landlords shouldn't have to rent out when they don't want to. And when everybody is upset there's no available cheaper rental housing available and there's a housing shortage, the only people who should be blamed for the housing shortage are the people who discouraged landlords from renting out and earning what they're owed.
@@Eva9000 hey, I hope you didn’t think I was siding with the landlords. Because I am not. I think because they see it as a business, they should have had to stop charging during the pandemic especially because many didn’t have a form of income. Those landscammers who couldn’t afford the mortgage or property tax on the units can lose their properties. If you don’t have the place payed off and if you can’t pay the mortgage without the tenants paying rent, you shouldn’t be a landlord… but that’s just my opinion. There are so many empty homes going to ruin with not being cared for, then the ones for rent they want $3,000 per month and it looks like it’s been vacant for years… it’s total greed. They’d rather try and get the most and sit on it and let it rot then offer someone a fairly priced place to live. It’s very shameful.
@@bluecolumbine if nobody paid the hoa or council/tax and landlords had to helicopter the tenants what's the point of being a landlord? What's the appeal? Having to fork out for some stranger to live in your property with nothing back isn't attractive to many, and being called greedy when you at worst just try breaking even isn't all that great either. If this is how you want landlords to be like you will have no landlords, no rentals, no cheaper option, you stuck being a buyer yourself or living with mum, or worse.
And americans wonder why they have a housing shortage. Go encourage more homes to be built if you want out of this rut. Go encourage people to rent out their homes they legally own and paid for out the nose for and stop putting them off from renting out because every little thing you pay for is "greed"
@@Eva9000 they would only be waiting out an international emergency, they will still have their properties when all is done and if they want to extract wealth from us in such a way they should be able to afford that. They are only paying taxes on it and they still own the property so I don’t see the problem. Those who can’t afford it, fine, that just adds more starter homes onto the market. It’s a win win. The problem is every landlord I talk to is complaining about how the tenants “didn’t take care of the property” but that’s why they rent, because they don’t want to maintain property. I don’t know how being a landlord became a passive income scheme but if your not even going to do any repairs or maintenance at least make rent affordable and not 3x what was paid for the original mortgage… because that, is what’s greedy.

As a landlord…Rent control is not a huge obstacle anymore. Just an inconvenience. I just bought a rent controlled unit from a landlord friend. The tenant had no choice, but to leave and the unit was brought up to current market value. Now that he has more capital to work with… I am selling him a rent control unit of mine so that he can do the same thing. In recent years… landlords are finding creative ways to get around this, and are now beginning to work together to put an end to this rent control nonsense.
Nonsense? What do you tell ppl who cant afford it there anymore?
Government shouldn’t be allowed to put restrictions on property owners. It is a private business. The fair market dictates the rents. It is based on the law of supply and demand.
They are usually told to vacate because the home is being sold.
They are not given the option to continue to rent there… so they have to find somewhere else more suitable to their lifestyle.
