first thing the current landlord did when he bought the building is raise the rent for all tenants.. despite everyone having leases--the terms and obligations of existing leases is supposed to transfer to a new owner. but they don't care, and they 100% would have raised them further (and in addition to the other increases since), had anyone pursued any sort of action against them. we have very little in terms of tenant protection laws here.
How bad is it where you live? Where I'm from that would be a fairly easy small claims court suit for breaxh (or done in bulk, you'd get all the tenants together and do a class action for breach).
