The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

Their rent jump from 2500/month to 3500/month before they complained, which is still absolutely insane. Once they complained, it jumped to 9500/month to get rid of them.

Wow. You can take the Redditor out of Reddit but you can’t take the Reddit out of the Redditor.

if you had your largest expense increase 40% you would “complain” too. anyone would. the landlord turning around and making it 400% instead is a dick move in any language
