The knowledge of the situation is based on what you told us Leo, if there are extenuating circumstances you should have explained them to us, so we could have moderated are comments accordingly.
Here’s my personal experience, I had an apartment rented to a guy when his lease was coming to end, I request a modest 3% rent increase on renewal of the lease which he said was not warranted, So I said I was not renewing his lease, then he said he would pay the increase, but at that stage I had made my mind up, he needed to go.
Then thought third parties I discover he was exclusively renting the apartment to third parties and was never actually living there, he was swanning around living the high life, while I was paying the mortgage and all the other expenses required in owning an apartment.
So I’m pissed off with these proxy landlord, surely Leo after twenty years renting you should be in a position to buy your own apartment and come over to the dark side.
