I'm fine with my landlord raising my rent each year.

By the actual rate of inflation.

Funny how that never seems to happen, and they go shooting way past that. Hmmmmm.

I am a so called landlord by inheritance but I never squeeze stuff from folks just enough to get me by while I ponder on where this rotten world is going and what are the actual solutions.

I realize like most sane people that capitalism is unsustainable in the long run and growth economy is incompatible with the future of humanity. The big question is what is the solution

Theoretically an appartment complex can be owned by a tennant union and renters can pay that union for upkeep and maintainance costs. Those that do the work of the complex's maintainance are paid by the tenant union. The cost of operation should be less than what landlords are owed in capitalism.
