The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

They're not generally cartoonish evil

You really need to look at how they're talking on landlord forums and such, the way they speak about tenants. Reality will remove this naive idea from your mind.

I agree they are not cartoonishly evil, in so far as that a cartoon villain usually is thwarted by good through the power of friendship. Real villains don't have such opposition.
