Tenant gets back at petty landlord who raised rent prices by 50%, costing landlord $20k: 'Landlord is jealous of my income'

If your landlord increased your rent by 50% overnight, you'd be up in arms! This person was infuriated by the landlord's decision to increase rent by $500 at a time when they were trying to save money for their future. 

Living in an apartment that isn't rent-stabilized is risky business. People get burned by the practice all the time. You think that you're getting an apartment with a fantastic location in a nice building, and the price is incredibly low. But if there's nothing protecting you, your landlord can demand you pay 4 or 5 times what you were paying before at a moment's notice. It's unfair to tenants! Some people have to move out due to practices like this. And in this person's case, they had to take their hard-earned money that they were saving for the future, and use it just to pay to live in the same apartment. Infuriating!
