Mortgage or Renting?

Very much. From what people who have been here a long time have told me, there used to be fields in between the city and surrounding suburbs. Now, the city is becoming so massive that it is consuming all of the suburbs to where you can't tell where one city ends and the next starts. It's essentially if someone sees an empty field, they start building something on it.
My brother just came out to visit from San Diego last month and he is thinking of finally buying a house. I told him to pay attention to the multitude of billboards advertising new communities and how much the houses are going for brand new compared to what he is looking at in Southern California. All he could say was, "What the fuck?!" Homes that would easily be $500,000+ in Southern California are being advertised in the $200,000s.

Rented my whole life. Bought a townhouse last year. About 1/3 of the mortgage goes to P&I. It's damn nice to finally build equity and get some tax breaks. No landlord. More pets. Took me till 33 to buy a house when my parents did it at 20. 15 years of wasting $$ on rent that I'll never get back.
I'm in Philly and got 3000 sq feet for about $325,000. My brother is renting in San Diego. <1000 sq feet. Landlord said he'd sell for $2.2 million. I'll stay out east.

I asked them to show me where it says they can raise it as they will and they sent me back this with highlighted portion that I bolded
so just a bunch of purposeful perversion of language. Everything else in the contract is spoken more clearly.
I already mentioned lawyer and will make them hate me for these last 6 months just because it is a dick move on their end

Probably not gonna be worth your money to hire a lawyer. You basically have three options:
1. Settle with company at whatever amount you both agree to and go your own separate ways.
2. Break the lease and move out. They could sue you for amounts owed, but they have a responsibility to mitigate costs. This means they're supposed to rent the place out ASAP. So if you move out and two weeks later they find another tenant, they only have two weeks of damages. If they take 6 months to find a new tenant, you have 6 months of damages. If they get a judgment against you, it'll hurt your credit, but there's a good chance they can't even collect on the judgment.
3. Stay in the place.
The only other option is to find a legitimate reason to move out. Usually if you prove the place isn't habitable, then the landlord has breached an implied warranty. If there's no electric or heat or water or sewage or there's mold or whatever else, you can try to get the landlord to fix it, and if they ignore you, file a lawsuit in small claims court telling the judge the place isn't habitable and you want to move out.
