If he had raised the the rent as he did and then rented it to a different tenant, there would be no issue. If he had raised $100 a month, she decided to move out and he moved in, there might not have been an issue. You give up some rights on your property when you become a landlord. For instance if you own a home, you can go in and out of any part of that home whenever you like. However if you rent it out to someone else, you lose that right. (You can enter but must give notice a certain amount of time in advance.) As a landlord, you have the right to raise rent above market rate in most areas, but in this case you lose the right to move in if said raise in rate causes the tenant to move out.

>You give up some rights on your property when you become a landlord. That's a big reason for the shortage in rental units. To navigate this environment safely you really have to be a full time landlord with good legal advice and relatively deep pockets. There are probably thousands of MIL units and back rooms that would be on the market if not for the legal risk.

  No, actually, it's not, but nice story.

    Yes, actually, it is, but thanks for the reply.

      So is it "probably" or is it "actually"? You don't have an evidentiary foot to stand on and you know it.

        Nor do you have any evidence it isn't true. That was a pretty bold assertion on your part.
