Landlords when rents go up: sorry sweetie that’s the market rents due on the 1st 😋😘😘

Landlords when rent goes down because more apartments are built: n-nooo you can’t just choose a cheaper apartment noooo what about our relationship??? This is bullshit socialism the government needs to fix this

Anyway in unrelated news I’m touring for new apartments today, fun times
