摘要

Alexander Shevlyagin, a 25-year-old Seattle computer-software manager, says he was shocked to learn in May that his rent was rising to $1,305 a month from $935. "My building manager told me, 'Hey, we're almost at full occupancy,'" Shevlyagin says. "He said he signed the same place I have on a different floor for the new rates, so someone thinks that this is reasonable. I don't consider it reasonable."
