Yes, totally fair. If the LAW allows it then it's fair. Good for her.
Just as the law allows landlords to charge "market rate" and any amount upwards of that, if they think they can get away with it. Just as the law allows for rent hikes and evictions that are hardly moral - but they are legal. Fair cuts both ways, and on this rare occasion it has worked out well for a renter. Good.
I think you'll find that landlords have played a full part in determining the evolution of the "us vs. them" thing for decades, probably centuries... and they are first to cry foul when the chips dont fall their way or a renter steps out of line... so here we all are.
Renting out property is a business, and business is full of pitfalls, uncertainties and challenges. Sounds like the landlord in this story has decided they don't like doing business this way anymore and have put their building up for sale.
I’m not blaming her , but more idiots judges and judges that allowed her to pay $100 month rent .
I know that in cities like NYC and L.A things are definitely not fair and the tenant has a lot more power .

I really question that in 2018 she is still paying only $100/month. Even Rental Control goes up a certain percentage ever year. My parents lived in a Rent Controlled apartment for decades. When they moved in, the rent was $125/month. When Mom died in 1993, her rent was $400/month.

He got a lot of votes from Obama voters too .. unknown ? He’s doing all the stuff he said he would do during the election.
Aka his agenda .
