@Golem Yeah. I've heard horror stories about renting flats in HK but this is the first time it has ever happened to me. When the lease ends (if she lets me), I'll definitely move out to another place before she raises the rent to the heavens. I just need time to prepare and save enough money to move.
Wow, 80%? That's crazy! I agree, renting places here are the worst. It is like there is no end in sight for raising rents.
