"if my landlord loses enough money renting to me...

AND the prices are held artificially low by ignorance of market conditions, demand and value...

for LONG ENOUGH...

One day I will be treated fairly..."

it's a hard argument to make. you should want your landlord to charge you the proper amount for the market you are renting in - so every single thing THAT WILL COME UP is taken care of without hesitation. From new sidewalks without cracks our seniors can trip over, to new hot water heaters, air filters and central air...

the cheap/broke renter is the "I want to fly a discount airline that skips maintenance" argument.
