I had a rental I got in 2006 that I just vacated in May. In total over those ~3 years my rent went up $25/month. I also know for a fact that they rerented it for the amount we were renting it for, so itll be ~4 years with a $25 rent increase. It wasnt over priced in 2006 compared to the market then either and isnt a craphole.
My Girlfriend had the same story. Her rent was pretty much fixed from 2005-2009, and the exact same place is now renting for $100 less than she was paying.
