I’ve noticed for the past several months, Investors, Corporations, and landlords have been buying up single-family homes. Most homes that are affordable or in foreclosure tend to be grabbed by investors, landlords, and Corporations. These homes then become rental properties. The price on these properties is way too high, almost equivalent to the apartments in downtown Los Angeles. Not only would you have to put in a deposit and pay rent, but you also can’t even modify the house as you wish, permission from the landlord would be needed. I hate the facts one would have to ask permission for any changes on the property. It is basically like an adult asking their parents’ permission to do what they want with their body. Speaking of rent, the payment on the rent increases every year. You’re lucky if the rent stays the same every year. The cost to pay rent keeps on rising to the point where it is no longer affordable. Stuff like this is the cause of homelessness. Everyone should have the right to OWN a house they could permanently live in, not rent these houses and become homeless when it is no longer affordable. We are not nomads. We want to own a house where we pay the mortgage and pay it off completely, leaving only tax and utilities bills. We want to own it, not temporarily own it. Single-family home rental should be illegal. Increasing rent should also be illegal.
