Negociating rental increases is something you could try but
I suspect if your landlord is set on increasing there’s not much you can do. I keep noticing a couple of houses around here that have a for rent siqn up every year,to the month they had it up the year before. They are both on the same street and the amounts they rerent for is always at least 100 more than it was prior, they seem to rent fairly quickly. I always think to myself, “they must have raised the rent.” “Why would someone wanna move only after 1 year?””Why would you raise the rent every year if you have good tennants?” Is it greed?
