Just got the renewal notice from my landlord and Im floored, rents going up by $200 starting next month. I knew increases were coming, but this feels insane. I dont know if I should start apartment hunting, try to negotiate, or just bite the bullet and cut back elsewhere.

Back When I was renting a house I could barely get by, usually with no money in the account on payday. The uncertainty of rent increases really weighed my mood down too.

For years I got annual $25 a month increases. Then they paused increasing during Covid. They countered that with a $55 increase the following year. The year after that they hit us with a ridiculous $255 a month increase. Since then it has been a steady 3% increase every year.

apartment hunting should start (save that for last resort). try to negotiate first. if the first 2 things fail. gotta bite the bullet and keep apartment hunting.

i hope things work for the better for you.

A $200 increase would have been a massive 10% rent increase with the last apartment I had before I bought my house. I'd try to negotiate that down.

When our house we were renting for a year decided they wanted to increase rent by 200$ we moved in with my wifes parents down the road while we bought a house to be built that took a year or so to be built.

Thats crazy. The apartments I lived in back in 1999 are only currently a little more than $200 higher than I was paying 26 years ago. They were $500 back then and $725 now. I looked recently because someone was arguing with me about market prices.

Here's the thing though. The TC is never genuine. Therefore responding to them with anything, other than to point out they are not genuine, is pointless.

The TC has a history of trolling. No need to take this topic seriously, knowing that.

That's the part that sucks about renting. My first apartment also increased rent by $200. We moved

Kinda difficult to think this is anything besides disingenuous shitposting.
Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest.. is silence.

My point was I wasnt responding to the TC at all. I was simply using the subject at hand as an outlet to share my own rent increase woes.

own rent increase woes.


the last time was a 10$ increase (seems like company's and rent like to eat into any gains from yearly increases in social security).

rewind around 10 years ago when i lived at my last place the former landlord decided to sell and the new landlord decided to jack up the rent from 750$ to 1200$ (huge increase) didn't help at the time i had a dog and places don't rent out so easily to people like me. had to wait a few years after that for rent subsidized apartment.

back then i lived with my uncle (he was a good guy, went broke after a week into every paycheck).

I have him tagged as "ChatGPT" because a lot of his topics are just AI prompts that he doesn't come back to after the initial post

My mortgage is coming up for renewal in a couple of years. I should sit down with finance manager and see what options are to make sure that my monthly payments don't explode on me. I'm paying a relatively modest $935 a month on the mortgage and just shy of $2,000 a year on property taxes. Very affordable for my situation.

I just looked.

The apartment I lived in with my first job has almost doubled in rent. $650 to $1150.

It's ridiculous.

Yeah, mine went up over $100 this year from it. I'm at like +$230 since I refinanced in 2020, which is fun considering my overall payment after doing so was in the $560s.

My rent is up 1k but that's because I had to go month to month until I figure out if I want to move

It's otherwise been fairly stable, and would have gone down if I went for the normal 12 month lease
Why not go all in?
