Raise my rent?

[MLG]

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!

How about agreeing on a longer lease if they reduce the increase now?

Are any utilities included with rent? Future increase costs to them?

I personally don’t think 3% is enough to deal with the hassle of moving…If it were me and it bothered me , I’d save myself the hassle, and just figure out a way to trim my expenses by 3% each month.

Well the latest CPI-U (for October) is 1% higher than it was 2 years earlier (October 2008). So their increase is 3 times the rate of inflation.

I’d say that is too high for a good tenant in the current economic environment. If they push that on you anyway, they don’t respect you, or reality.
