Due to rising interest rates, a lot of people who would've gotten a mortgage are now looking to rent. Not a single mention of this in the article. Also the article mentions "rent control", something that terrifies landlords. So they hike the rent to protect of a possible future rent control. Landlords paid for the property and took a huge risk with a possible real estate bubble and rising rates (in case of variable adjusted mortgage). People like this make me think it's on purpose to make half the population hate the other half. And then double down. Divide and conquer.
