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..
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.

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.
