Thanks for a little insight, I just don't find it justified... it's not like I live in an elite area either it's a very run down 1960's townhouse in a low income/rougher part of town. I do my own maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal. The only amenity is a pool that has been broke for 4 years. It would be different if I felt that extra $500 a month was being seen in improvements to the community. When asked no improvements are planned. It's just infuriating. The last four years it was only a $30-$60 increase.

Not normal. Not okay. No one working in the industry should normalize this. I’m sorry you’re going through that.

You need to @them on social media.

That's the way it should be, good paying and respectable tenant should be rewarded. That's what we did with our tenants when we rented out our house, no increase in rent if they paid on time and kept the place up, that's all you can hope for!!! The house up the street from us here in LN, the guy increased his rent from $2,500 month (10 year tenants) to $5,400 because that is what his RE agent told him he could get. I advised him to rent lower amount to get a long-term renter. He didn't heed my advice and went for the higher rent and the tenants stayed less than one year. So he's left turning the house again. As a renter, we know...

Debbie Halverson same. My place in RSM they only charged me $50 increase 2 of the 6 years I was there, no rent increase the other years.

Debbie Malloy DiBernardo when I rented, that is exactly what I did, treat it as it were your own, make improvements. I was rewarded with no rent increases for 6 years.
