Then our apartment manager raised our rent for our 2BR from $1050 to $1150 when our initial six month lease was up.

lol this was part of what drove us to buy our first place in 1989.
My wife told me that the Gold Coast Apartments where we lived said they were going to raise our rent by (can’t remember, $100?) I said that’s it we’re outta here. So she found us condos to look at and we bought. I wanted something as close to a SFR as we could get so she found us a 3/2 townhouse.
When my wife went to the rental office to give notice, the owner was also there. He asked her why we were leaving and she said “because you’re raising our rent by $xxx!”. He looked a little surprised she knew and gave an angry glance at the manager.
The next day we had a BBQ with our upstairs neighbors and told them the whole conversation. The bf half of the couple who worked construction said “WHAT?” he didn’t know about the rent increase. He looked at his gf and said “well we’re out of here too!”.[/quote]
The irony is those apartment managers changed the trajectory of your lives
