I want to do this so badly.
Do they accept gringos?
>>1026146
Work for a very large employer who recently announced 2.5% wage increases across the board for all employees. Landlord increased the rent by 2.3%
>>1026155
It's basically USA down there so pretty easy going.
>>1026163
Do they accept Canadian gringos?
How dangerous is it?
>>1026157
2.5% is a cost of living increase. If you're less than 5 years into your career out of college, counter that bullshit offer. Tell them 5% is more in line with your expectations based on the value you bring. I'm personally walking if I don't get 10%.
2.5% is something they give dead-end people or people who topped out with a fairly high salary for their position (maybe middle managers in the high 5/low 6 figures for example).
>>1026169
This, senpai. Worked in consulting have had a 13.5% raise over the last 18 months (1 raise every 6 months.) Still quit because I got a job offer that raised me from $80K to $120K. Was only on the job market for 3 weeks. You should seriously make a move before the economy goes south.
>>1026157
its % you moron
>>1026152
Yes, problem. How do you make more than a dollar an hour? The cost of living is so low because the pay is shit.
>>1026118
reverse that story and it sounds awesome
>landlord raises rent

Post pics, let us judge
>>1026237
>>1026157
Yes, it's called a cost of living raise. These things are baked in to the company budget forecast and has nothing to do with your performance.
>>1026242
arab women are disgusting
>>1026242
so I was right
>>1026248
She looks old too
Watchout for holes in your condom my fellow /biz/nessman
>>1026242
Oh man, you really must be desperate...
in my country landlords can't raise the rent more than three times, and even then it's heavily regulated, like he can't exceed a certain percentage. he can't kick you out either as long as you're paying your rent. my grandparents have been renting an apartment now for 50 years in one of the nicest parts of the city for like $40 whereas the price in the area is around $200-$250.

>mfw roomate moving out to live with gf
>mfw can't find a roomate
>mfw rent is now doubling to $1400 per month

koreans need tons of plastic surgery to get rid of ugly mongoloid looks
>>1026223
I suppose he does trading
>>1026259
The people who pay for that are newer tenants, who have a smaller number of properties to chose from and are thus forced to compete and drive up prices. If you lived in a society where your grandparents were paying market rate, then the market rate would probably be $100 lower. Yet another way in which the young subsidise the old.
>>1026124
Same here anon, I start Friday !
>>1026263
What city brah? I have been looking at Philadelphia rent prices; probably going to rent a room off of craigslist
>>1026152
Hint: It's really not that cheap unless you want to live in a damp, dingy, dark, dirty, noisy room and eat nothing but rice and beans. If you want the same quality of life you have now it will cost you the same. Yes, rent will be cheaper but everything else is marked up and you will get taken advantage of on every transaction.
>>1026313
My sides. You can tell by her eyelids alone that she's gone through some plastic surgery.
>>1026381
the best part is even if the grandparents die, he won't rent out at a lower rate or lower other people's rates. old people permanently fucked us.
Boss gets arrested for CP, no jail time but gets fired.
Myself and one other colleague do our jobs and his, meanwhile no pay increase.
Whut do biz.
>>1026922
Download CP to his old computer.
Claim it was there all along.
Profit
>>1026157
Hypothetical...
Annual income - $30,000 - raise = $750
Annual rent - $12,000 - raise = $276
You're ahead $474
>>1026242
nice.
don't pull out.
>>1026118
Tell your landlord you will leave and find somewhere else to live if he raises the rent.
Sure he can find a new tenant, but then he has to go through all the paperwork again. Most landlords will balk.
How much is he raising it?
>>1026313
ho lee fuk
I haven't seen you since you got banned from /fit/ like two years ago and came back as "feeling brother" lol
saranghae, brah
at least you can afford the increase
>>1026931
PV is actually pretty chill. Lots of friendly canucks move there to exploit the locals. I only saw 2 or 3 military trucks with mounted guns last time I was there.
>>1026152
I totally want to do this. Have been there several times, there's some cheap properties over there. You buy all cash and live off of your investments.
