Struggles of House Hunting: Worries for My Elderly Parents

I feel what you are going through. We are currently fighting in court to get bankruptcy because a past landlord from 14 years ago is suing to get our house taken from us. Each time one leak is fixed another pops up somewhere else.

✋ have you tried to apply for low income housing? I didn't think of that a minute ago. I used to be on low income housing. It really helped me out when I was a single mother.

😥 Landlords all around the country are doubling the rent since Covid. My landlord only raised ours $150 last year. I feel lucky!

Where I live in San Jose ca the rents are crazy to begin but have jumped 10% my 2 bedroom cost 2940 monthly utilities are not included trash water sewage electric and mandatory rental insurance through them it’s crazy

Thanks everyone! I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers as well. It isn't getting any easier. The landlords are wanting 1600 to 1900 for a 3 bedroom plus the pet rent most are charging an additional 50 dollars per pet so that's an extra 100 dollars for us.

🙏 I am on disability and I had to reapply because I was turned down the first time. I have been told that just about everyone gets turned down the first time they apply. I believe it. Everyone that I know was turned down the first time! But, if you have a disability that can't be denied, or faked, they get disability the first try. I wish you luck on your case! The Department of Social Services has a list of rental landlords. When I was needing a place to live, I got a print off of all the landlords in my county. I will be thinking and praying for you and your family!

We need to move as well. Praying for both you and my family situation about this. Praying protection over your family as well.

The ridiculous pet policies are the reason I'm trying to buy a house. These landlords are out of their minds!
