Hypothetical question

On mobile so apologies for formatting. Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

rent increase above legal limit. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
