No they don’t. I used to own a 4 unit in Providence and the laws favor landlords. MA has better protections for tenants.

Exactly. RI is expensive because people want to live here. It's pretty awesome.

There are many options if the OP is open to location in the state and size.

Appreciate the nod, but this isn't our type of redneck. The gold chain and gangsta hat doesn't really fit here (except for one dude, and anyone from the ville would know who that is).
This is the big Woo or West Warwick.

OP is open to the entire state! They can find something with that degree of flexibility.

You can move to Philly if you can deal with the crime and grime. Houses and rent are pretty cheap here. My partner and I have a very large 3 bed 3 bath for $2,400.
I’m currently trying to relocate to either Boston or Providence. But I feel like Philly was a good starter city to get me outta the south. Once you make friends and network here it’s easy to make friends in surrounding states because the northeast is so small. It’s not my forever place but there’s things I do love about it.
There’s a great access to NYC, Baltimore, NJ, and beaches. A New England road trip is only a 4-5 hour drive which isn’t bad either. If its all you can afford— I would suggest it. Save money, get better jobs, and then make the move to New England.
After moving to Philly, I started working in and making NYC money. This goes a long way in Philly. It’s allowed me to save money for wherever I’m gonna permanently settle.
The crime stats are gonna blow you away, but if you’re not involved in a gang or drugs you’ll be fine. It’s very localized violent crime between people who know each other. Don’t move to North Philly.
I’m on to better things but Philly has been an experience let me just say that. I’m glad I moved here because there’s truly no place like it. Can’t stay forever, but I’ll always appreciate it being my stepping stone.
Just wanted to add that the metro area here is huge so you don’t have to live right in the crime and grime. There’s plenty of smaller areas/towns surrounding the city. Check out Manayunk.

When I was house hunting I saw a listing in Arctic, and thought it can’t be THAT bad. Reader, it was.

Being as I build homes for a living now, I’m familiar with the process. And funny enough YES! They in fact do!!
Here’s how it works!
Person A has money to build a single family or multi-family structure. The construction firm isn’t going to finance it themselves, they wait usually for someone to approach with a project after securing financing. Then the firm builds it! Isn’t it exciting to learn!! After the build is complete the landlord/owner either rents or lives in the property themselves, although likely with multi-unit structures it goes straight to rental. Hence the landlords are in fact the ones that build homes!! Wasn’t that fun?! I sure had fun :)

Construction workers, obviously. Landlords only know how to paint things with that thick white paint. Did you think landlords build the houses they own? LMFAO.

Stories in this issue:
Pioneer tenants organized against their landlord. Now they say they're being pushed out: Renters have faced sewage stench, leaks and structural issues. Now they say they may lose their homes.
Tenants band together against RI landlord as they face deplorable conditions
A Central Falls couple's twins were struggling. Then a blood test showed high lead levels: Pioneer Investments left two young children at risk in a Central Falls property. Now, the parents may take action.
