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.

Regardless of who is in the right or wrong here, please don't post personally identifiable information if the source is not public.

While it's important to push for justice and fairness, there's a distinction between advocating for fairness and doxxing / calling for mob justice. We don't have formal rules for this stuff yet, but use your best judgment and report any comments that veer into harmful territory.

I'll try to post a discussion thread on proposed rules sometime in the future, but this seems like a good one to bring up in the meantime. Feel free to share thoughts, and thank you :)

Maybe not here, maybe not us. But that landlord's name ought to be made public by the media.
