Yea but it's gotta be intelligent regulation and I don't know what that looks like in this instance.

I get it but the point is that it's not like "oh i can call the landlord for XYZ".
I have to go through a dysfunctional property management company that returns 1/3rd of their phone calls and emails and they in turn go to another corp. It's a bunch of layers between the renter and owner that wasn't nearly as common 10-15 years ago.

I wouldn't even use the phrase "landlords" as much as it's more like these big conglomerate companies that buy up swaths of housing.
But I'm with you. This is a big problem and a big reason some people are having to chose between getting groceries and getting gas that week. Everyone needs a place to live and these fuckers have found a way to leverage that need into more profits.
I'm not sure what the answer is here but these companies need some regulation.

My last house I rented was in Nevada and owned by some LLC registered in Delaware.
Shit was going up like 200-250 a year. Nonsense.

There's something viscerally unpleasant about a mangled piece of war machinery that's representative of so much needless death and destruction having a fucking MEME put on top of it.
