I think you just got unlucky. Most tenants don’t know their rights in the Bay Area and there’s a lot of smarmy landlords here. I have had to deal with them almost regularly. I hate condos but they were the best to rent. All SFH landlords want to increase rent every year so they can go galavanting about the world. I hope rent control is here to stay, it’s the only way I can hope to save some money while inflation is so crippling.
