that price [...] increases with inflation

While the vast majority of wages don't, not nearly enough to keep with inflation. Surely you can see the problem here, right? I agree with op that you should get a real job.

But yeah, putting the blame on individual landlords isn't very productive. The core issue here is the capitalist system that allows landlords to exist in the first place.
