Raise my rent?

[no_such_reality]

What are you looking at for an increase $50? $75?

I’m guessing probably a $50/increase.

So, from a landlord standpoint. Are you going to move over $50?

If you’re dealing with a small scale landlord, keeping a good tenant happy is important. If you are dealing with a large scale landlord, you’re just cattle to be squeezed.

Since you talk about an HOA, I’d guess small scale.

Can you move and cut your rent for an equivalent place?

What amount do you need to save every month to make the hassle and expense of moving worth it?

What about the cost and hassle of moving? Yuck! And, could you find a comprable rental condo for same price? (at least the landlord is not foreclosing and you aren’t getting booted….)

FYI If their property is not assessed for less than they paid, their property taxes increase 2% a year also.

Yeah, the last time I rented a UHaul, it was right around $200. But, you have to bother your friends/family to help, then there’s the pizza/beer you have to buy when you’re done, the miscellaneous expenses for boxes, tape, packing supplies, etc.

Not to mention the hassle/cost of driving around to multiple rental properties you see on Craig’s List, before you find the one you’re happy with.

If you’re talking about a $50/month increase, I don’t think it’s worth it.

However, if you have a different opinion, if you politely tell your landlord you find the increase unacceptable, and are willing to move if the increase goes through. . . I’d be willing to bet he will blink. Either not increase the rent, may be only increase it 1%, or maybe make some of the improvements you wish he would.

I have a good tenant in my condo, I certainly know I would cave if she was that unhappy with a 3% rent increase. I’ve heard too many horror stories about deadbeat tenants to be willing to roll the dice, and lose a tenant who pays rent on time every month, and takes care of my property!
