As a landlord I can tell you the biggest reason that rents are increasing (in my area) is the destruction of properties from Section 8/ Metro Housing tenants that have no accountability in the care of the property.
You can take them to court for damages, but they have no money to take.
The uptick in rent is to cover those losses.
There are also municipalities that hold the property owner responsible for a water bill that has went unpaid for several months by a tenant.
