These landlords make is SO difficult for seniors to survive on a budget. Many of us will be in the same situation within the next ten years or so... it doesn't look good for any of us.<br /><br />Take care.

I would imagine rent has gone up here in Phoenix seeing how the minimum wage went up 50 cents at the start of January.
