I could not believe it when the land lord where I lived had the gall to send me a letter telling me that he was going to raise the rent on my home. Not only was he going to raise it but he wanted me to pay for half of the home owners insurance because I had been living there for so long. I had lived there for fifteen years, since I graduated from college and the rent was more than a mortgage so I decided that I was going to go and bellmore long island homes were going to be the next thing that I was going to look at.
