    You are actively exploiting refugees

    Good on you for not knowing shit but still making assumptions.

    Right, because if not for the horrible me, they’d be able to rent for significantly more in the area.

    Like, they’re not “we have nothing but the clothes on our backs” refugees, they’re a family that got a kid coming and needed something relatively good-standard, and pay for it thanks to the husband’s IT job.

    You are on the supply side of the problem. Rent is, indeed, the problem.

    “I’m 12 and this is deep”.

    You could offer to sell your property to those tenants

    Why would they buy a property in my country? They want to go back to their own country. WTF are you talking about?

    You could offer them a “land contract”, which is a rent-to-own arrangement

    Again, they don’t want to own an apartment in a foreign country.

    [all the mortgage stuff]

    Sure. I could bear the costs for the high and mighty idea.

    Sadly, I can’t afford that.

    The only options for me would be to:

    1. Sell the apartment to someone who would start charging twice than what I am.
    2. Completely upend my life and go back to my home country to live in that apartment, I guess.

    What would you have done in my shoes?
