This whole past year has been a crisis of landlords price gouging giving a months notice of unaffordable rent increases and then when tenant can’t agree cuz they don’t get a raise at work or can’t find a second, third job they get a 30 day notice of termination of periodic tenancy telling them sorry but you are too poor I’d prefer a richer tenant get out in the street please.

Actually I'm pretty sure there is a law in place already limiting the amount rent can increase in a given period of time. Like 5 or 10% or something

There is not. In some states there is rent control but RI doesn’t have rent control.

I mean the whole time during Covid was tenants not paying because there was an eviction moratorium … it goes both ways. Tenants take advantage of things they same way landlords do

Nah most landlords found a way to evict people for reasons other than non payment also most tenants who did use the moratorium got rent relief which was a landlord bailout.
