    My complex just got bought out by an investment company. 24% rent increase after years of <5% increases

    This is going to be 50% of my after-tax income. They own half of me

        I did look into that, my entire area is insanely expensive to rent in. With moving costs and deposits I’d be spending more in a year by moving.

        I am looking into moving states but wouldn’t have time to get a new job. Going to have to bite the bullet and start planning for next year. Working on IT certs to get better paying jobs.
