“Next day, the landlord evicted us.”

In this powerful poem, LindoYes captures what eviction feels like—not just in the moment, but for years after.

Landlords extract wealth through rent increases while maintaining minimal costs. The surplus goes into their pockets. Meanwhile, tenants face constant price hikes and uncertain living conditions. Rent increases 3.5% annually on average, while property values increase faster.

Rent increases every year? Welcome to capitalism, bitch. Landlord's profit = Rent - (maintenance + property tax + utilities). #SickofRents
