This should easy to prove if you were actively trying to get sales.

So even with a yearly CPI (remember we have had negative and miniscule figures) increase they fell far below.So you have a situation where you have tenant who won't leave and landlords that can only profit by neglect.But what any investor should realize is that you are actively and purposely decreasing the value of your investment.
