Refusing repairs is a dick move, but raising rent can be a consequence of rapidly rising property taxes and increasing insurance premiums. Would be nice if renters got an actual itemized invoice showing what goes into the rent cost.
Property taxes and insurance premiums on what is mostly passive income. No invoice needed. For most of us, rent is the majority of our paychecks, which are earned by working.

Itemized invoice would be killer! There’d have to be an item called “pure profit”, shining some light on their greed.
So you’re saying that landlords are keeping prices down out of the goodness of their hearts, and it’s external costs causing the increase?
That’s very anti capitalism. You’re supposed to charge as high as you can at all times, regardless of costs.
