Reply to comment by fishythepete in Proposal would ban more than 3 college students from living together in Providence by SwimmerNos

Nope. A new landlord acquired the apartment my partner and I rented. This man didn't even live in PVD and owned 4 other apartments around the city. In the first year he increased the rent by 47% without making any improvements and also replaced our shared laundry and drying machines with machines that weren't only older smaller but also increased the prices.

No, I’m saying rent control cannot be the problem, because it doesn’t exist.

If you think lack of rent control is the problem, you need to take a minute and understand that rent control and limits on occupant numbers are solutions in the same vein - ie they’re not.
