The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

โ€œWe know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

Good catch. And yet I'm getting downvoted ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Witch hunts on lemmy are even more indiscriminate than they were on Reddit. There's just no in between.

You said there is no information on the initial rent, but there is. So why should people not down vote you?

Yes, let's ignore the guy who made the inaccurate claim, which is the entire reason I asked for a source
