I have brought this question here to Y!A a couple of times before but apparently no one knows any more than I do.

YES, I know, I'm looking for a new place but in the meantime...I'm scared to be in there (I have anxiety and panic disorder) and they have the nerve to keep raising the rent(the above mentioned are not the only problems with the place).
