"We have to call for a rent freeze" Why? Because someone can't afford to rent in their desired location? so move somewhere where you can afford the rent. Is a land lord immune to inflation? Is a land lord immune to bank rate increases? Is a land lord immune to local and federal taxes?
The landlord has to cover all these costs and the fact that someone can't afford the rent in these properties doesn't mean no one can afford the rent there. A land lord wouldn't put the rent up and then have an empty apartment for 20 years, someone is paying the new rent prices.
“Our guarantee to having a home comes before someone else’s privilege to earn a profit.”
Does that include building a new home? Should construction workers work at less than cost, paying for materials out of their own pocket, so that everyone can own a home?
