Back in 1976 my rent (in a duplex) went from $125 a month to $275. The reason? The owner sold it to someone.
My solution? I got a better job and BOUGHT a house.
Dude. No room for logic on this board. 😎
Novel concept
In 1977 my landlord died and the estate broke my lease and kicked me out. Rather than trying to find an apartment at the same great price I had, I moved in with my girlfriend and married her.
I guess that wasn’t such a bad move since I’m still married to her 48 years later. Except that after all this time she figures I’m pretty much not going anywhere so she is getting kind of bossy LOL
