My landlord has actually increased rent by 200k as well, but she's yet to communicate it to me. I think they all have a landlord association meeting and they've come together to increase the rent by 200k. I have some spoilage in my place too and the owner has refused to fix them, saying it was my duty to fix them. Everyone needs to actually own their place, even if it's just two bedroom.
na wa o, and they know how hard the economy is, how will someone working offline afford that, they are making life unbearable for people, even landlords who built their house 20 years ago will still say house materials is costly now...
the best decision is indeed to own a house...Unfortunately not everyone have the means to own one
