Over the last couple of months, I've seen multiple stories like this:
The story is usually about extremely and vulnerable elderly people on fixed incomes. Usually this is happening when some corporate entity buys a property. The amount they want to raise this women's rent to is more than the average social security payment so its likely she'll have to move. When they move people of this age, its usually into a care home. If I had to pay what they want to raise her rent to, I'd be homeless.
Nationwide, rent has increased 17%:
I've noticed a lot of corporations and hedge funds buying up property around me. They bought the house next to me and promptly started ripping things up and "improving" it. I don't know if they intend to rent it out or plan to sell it. They've even gone door-to-door trying to buy houses and call people multiple times a day.

In New York City, median rental prices increased by 23.5 percent in Manhattan, over 10 percent in Brooklyn and 14.5 percent in northwest Queens in February compared to rates from last year, a report from New York City real estate company Douglas Elliman found.
On the West Coast, rent prices in Seattle were up by almost 19 percent in April compared to April 2021. The median price for a one bedroom apartment in Seattle was $1,681, and it was $2,097 for a two bedroom, according to a report from Apartment List.
