Boo Hoo, why can't I raise rents however I like

Half a story, told from the 1% perspective, is a trope with the CEEB these days. A manufactured crisis to elicit a singular response. Pity the poor land owner, being held hostage by the big bad tenant. Boo fucking hoo.

Anyone ever had their accommodations "renovicted" or been left idle for a year so the rapacious land owner could jack the rent up? I have and it fucking sucks.

I guess when the system works in favour of the land owners, it's all OK and just a bunch of whinging peasants. Coverage of renovictions? Puh-shaw!!!

So cry me a river, CEEB, your shilling for the land owners rings pretty hollow here.
