In the high-stakes world of real estate, things can get heated even among the best of friends. Our homeowner, let's call him 'The Basement Dweller', owns a house in a high-cost city, shared with four roommates. The arrangement seems fair: he lives in the basement suite, rents out the upstairs at below-market rates, and uses the rent to cover the mortgage and utilities. But when he lands a job in a different city, things take a dramatic turn. 🌆🔀

Being a landlord can suck. Some are good and some are bad just like any other business. You are and were going to be renting them rooms for less than market value and they decided that was unreasonable. Cool, so you sold the property. Now they can deal with the new landlord. New landlords almost always raise the rent because they did BUY the property at market value and need to cover that cost. NTA. 😊
