10% Rent Increase?

[blahblahblah]

Just got a 10% increase on my rent from my management company. I talked with the guys there and they said that the owner wants to raise the rent to reflect the market value. The management company tried to talk him out of it but he wasn’t having it. Maybe his ARM is resetting or something. Anyway, I’ve been here for a couple of years, never had a late payment, have excellent credit, etc… I think I’m a good renter. I’d be okay with a 2-3% increase but even that seems silly when the economy is melting down and all of these new condos downtown (where I live) are dark every night.

Anyway, are any of the other renters out there facing rent increases? I just checked craigslist and the asking rents are pretty steep on a lot of the condo type places. There seem to be a LOT of properties available too.

I got a 14% increase which takes effect next month. I’m looking at getting a wine storage locker so I can move more easily. As much as I feel I’m getting gouged, moving is just to painful to do very often.

Josh, have you seen the place off of Morena? It hasn’t been there very long but it’s the first one I’ve seen in SD.

There are no apparent fundamentals to justify that rents should go up other than the fact that it is the start of a new year and thus used as a pretext to raise rents.

[surveyor]

NeetaT:

My property taxes for San Diego county alone have increased by 6%. There are also increased water fees, trash fees, and other increases down the line. My insurance for the properties have increased some because of the fires. Some HOA’s have increased their monthly fees.

There are lots of very legitimate reasons why rents should go up.

With the economy heading in the direction it’s going in, there aren’t any legitimate reasons to raise rents at this time. As a landlord, I suggest you “suck it up” as they say.

I raised the rents of my two rentals here in San Diego by 5% in 2007. While there are probably a lot of rental units available, they tend to be the really expensive ones…

One of the threads awhile ago had a property manager saying that they were at capacity, even while raising rents…

[ucodegen]

My rent went up 4.5% this year (for ’08 period). It is a lease, not a month to month. I generally try to talk them down. Last year I was able to avoid the increase for that year (’07). My 06 was a 7% increase. Be polite and back up your contentions as to why the rent should not be increased. Being a good renter is nice, but so is being flexible on moving and willing to do it(Having a 1 ton 4×4 pickup as one of my vehicles sort of makes it easy to move.). The rents are going up due to foreclosures forcing people back to renting while the bank sits on the inventory. I think the banks are hoping that keeping the inventory tied up shifts the rent-buy breakpoint.

Compare your rent to equivalents in the area. If equivalents are lower, might as well move. See if you can negotiate a cut or first month off on move in deal..

CONCHO- If you read the Recent Articles on here – No Housing Bottom in 2008, rents are falling. Don’t be afraid to make someone an offer. If you are a good tenant who isn’t throwing parties and appreciates keeping nice things nice, and you’re reliable for your rent, …there are condo owners out there who will rent at a price less than what they are asking so they can get a quality tenant. Looking at Craigslist you might think condo rents are going in the 1700-2K range in the Gaslamp for a 1 bdrm. Reality is that there are people paying 1300-1600 in fantastic locations (right in the heart of the Gaslamp /marina/ ballpark). Are you willing to move? If so, find a place to move, and let the mgmt co. know you’ll be moving in 30 days, unless of course the owner agrees to a lesser rent increase. If you move out, perhaps they’ll rent it the following month, but traditionally this time of year is slow. Is the owner willing to take a 1 or 2 month vacancy? If he/she can do simple math, it doesn’t compute to let you go.

[no_such_reality]

To watch the rental market, I look at Craigslist and MLS with a couple keywords, bedroom count and then parse the list for the 25th percentile. That eliminates the skew that is appearing because of the the wishing/desperation price rentals showing up.

What I’ve seen up in OC is prices trickling down and volume being consistent or slightly increasing. I see this because my volume count increases at the same point or reaches the same point at a lower figure.

Unfortunately, you’re about to experience the big negative of renting, an idiot landlord that wants to gouge and hence, you have to move.

[procrastinator]

I just got a 5% increase that takes effect next month. There are plenty of comparable houses for rent here in RB, some for as much as 10% lower and sitting on craigslist for many weeks while gradually dropping in the asking rent. But I’ve been in this place for only one year, and the waste of time and money that is moving is still fresh in my memory. Perhaps I’ll move next year — amortizing the pain over 2 years makes it more acceptable.

15% here. I’ll be moving out. I agree that there are a lot of vacant places tied up in foreclosure and that is distorting the rental market. This housing bubble has distorted almost every market there is.

I guess I got lucky, no rent increase. I think the landlords memory of 2 months vacancy hurt. Dont be afraid to move, they are not afraid to give large increases.

[unbiasedobserver]

My LL proposed a 9% increase the week after the fires. I looked around and found something much better and moved. I notice the old one is now sitting empty. Sweet vindication!

listen Honcho,
Your landlord is raising rents because he can. He’s betting that you think that moving is too painful for you and you will swallow it. When I was a landlord I occasionally did the same thing, randomly did a big 10% increase to test their aversion. I would make up some excuses, taxes fee, cost of business etc etc. Most of the time the sucker would eat it without too much complaint. Only when they seriously and credibly threatened to move did I back down a bit. I generally wouldn’t do a big raise too often again for that person. I had a couple tenents I raised a number of times without serious complaint, those dudes and dudettes paid for some vacations in Hawaii, ha.

NSD, you FAIL at the internet…Notice the original post date of this thread. You are essentially responding to something that someone posted TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO……

The only reason why this thread was dug up is because a would be spammer (“Maud Ockley”) posted today, except his/her spam link must have been filtered out. Notice his post makes absolutely no sense.

[quote=NewtoSanDiego]listen Honcho,
Your landlord is raising rents because he can. He’s betting that you think that moving is too painful for you and you will swallow it. When I was a landlord I occasionally did the same thing, randomly did a big 10% increase to test their aversion. I would make up some excuses, taxes fee, cost of business etc etc. Most of the time the sucker would eat it without too much complaint. Only when they seriously and credibly threatened to move did I back down a bit. I generally wouldn’t do a big raise too often again for that person. I had a couple tenents I raised a number of times without serious complaint, those dudes and dudettes paid for some vacations in Hawaii, ha.

Thanks for asking. Things are going well in the hood. My dog max, after considerable conditioning and portion control is down below the HOA weight limit for dogs. So I’m no longer in violation.

I hope I’m your landlord some day. Are you a renter? Remember to always pay your rent on time.

Why do you ask? Do you pose a question as to judge whether or not I’m at a particular economic level or not? I don’t think there really is a correlation here if you must know……But to answer your question. No I’m not renter… either when I’m working here in SoCal or up in NorCal/Bay Area for that matter….Not that there’s anything wrong with renting….LOL…

Dude, I think you missed the point. It’s not just this HOA restriction you have to worry about. I’m sure you’re neighbors are looking at every infraction possible. Also, I hope your pooch doesn’t hurt anyone..Because you are really screwed if that happens because you have already posted numerous times blatantly disregard for other people’s safety..That’s negligence and you probably shouldn’t assume you’re anonymous as you think you might be, IP addresses/weblogs/etc….But obviously you never thought about that.

There is some serious disinformation floating around out there.

Statistically, the rent “decreases” everyone is hearing about are very small. These small decreases are, in my opinion, skewed by what is happening in parts of town you would not want to be caught dead in.

The press and the FED has everyone believing we have a deflationary spiral because the stock market and housing prices are falling but house prices and stock prices are not part of the CPI.

We are suffering modest inflation, hence your rent increase (although high) and in 5 more years or so it will be the 1970’s all over again.

I’ve been renting in UC for the past 2 years and the market here fluctuates with the start of the school year. So right now would be the worst time to find a rental, but once you get to December, prices seem to tank.

That’s my observation also – UC/UTC rents are cyclical based on when the lease is signed. Aug/Sep leases are higher rent than an Apr/May lease signing.

Just moved and got myself a 12.5% discount on my monthly rent for 2011. Same condo complex and identical floorplan. Previous was an individual owner directly. This new one is managed by a company. I’m in Mission Valley and I went from 1 parking spot to 2 parking spots. The new neighbors cannot be any worse than the old neighbors so that will be an upgrade also. My old landlord may be in for a rude awakening regarding rents when he tries to find his next tenant. I explained everything to him before moving and he still thinks he is priced right for how nice his unit is.

Just moved and got myself a 12.5% discount on my monthly rent for 2011. Same condo complex and identical floorplan. Previous was an individual owner directly. This new one is managed by a company. I’m in Mission Valley and I went from 1 parking spot to 2 parking spots. The new neighbors cannot be any worse than the old neighbors so that will be an upgrade also. My old landlord may be in for a rude awakening regarding rents when he tries to find his next tenant. I explained everything to him before moving and he still thinks he is priced right for how nice his unit is.

About 3.5 years ago, my landlord who had a split level home that looked worse than any that have been on the TV show “Hoarders”, made a deal with me that if I went in, cleared out the home, gutted it, renovated it, and used my own money to do it that he would let me live there for free, and then slowly increase the rent so he would have a tenant on the property to look after his mother (who told me about the place and offered it to me for $200 per month). I took that place from the brink of being condemned to a beautiful Carlsbad beach rental. The lower level that I live in is across the street from the beach, two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, and living room. It has a front and back yard that took me 60 trips to the dump to clear out. I put astro turf in the front yard and built a custom deck. The back yard is now all grass, with a nice tree and a custom fire pit. Anyway, originally I was living there for $200 per month until his mother died (who owned the house and was living upstairs). Then he increased the rent to $350. Last year he bumped it up from $350 to $750. Yesterday he contacted me and said he plans on raising the rent to between $1600 and $2000 per month in June (as fair market value). What can I do about this???

You can produce a contract from 2008 that says he can’t do that.

It has all been via verbal agreement and e-mail exchange.

If it were verbal agreements only, I’d say you would be s.o.l… Verbal agreements in the 21st century stick as much as Kim Kardashian sticks to Kris Humphries. People this day an age never say what the mean. In other words, most people these days flat out lie and say one thing and do the other….

Email, though might be good thing. Did he respond to you on email specifically agreeing to said things of how much your “slow rent increase would be”?
If so, why don’t you dig up that email copy him on it and tell him, “hey dude, remember what you promised?”

If not, I’m sorry you’re probably s.o.l… Because how exactly “slow rent increase” defined?

In the future, I would never EVER offer to a landlord to do ANY home improvement unless you have a write contract of him/her paying you back immediately in terms of free rent for Y months/years for exactly this situation you are in.

Calculate how much you spent on the home improvements (minus your labor, because I guess that’s a going to be a wash), and show him her the receipts, and if it’s still more than how much a discount you’ve gotten off in rent so far, maybe he/she won’t be such a jerk and rip you off and try to be fair (doubt it though). On the other hand, if how much you got off of your rent so far is already more than how much you spent, well i guess it’s fair for him to jack up the rent to market value now.
