rent keeps going up and up

[blahblahblah]

Mine has gone up 4% per year in the last 2 years. I get more than that in my savings account now.

I have been in a 1 bedroom for close to 5 years in the Crown Point area and have not seen any rent increases. I mentioned to my landlord that I might be interested in a 2 bedroom for $1250 a month becuase she had 2 that became vacant. She shrugged me off and said she would have them rented. She ended up sitting on idle inventory for over 3 months. Can someone who works in property mnagement post a reason why all renters are served up the same prices. If banks and lenders are willing to acept lower interest rate for better credit and charge extra premiums for poor credit why would rent be any different.

Had my landlord rented the 2 bedroom to me the second she knew I was interested she would have immediately started collecting the additional premium relative to what I currently pay (900) and would have bought herself time to change carpets, paint and clean my place up. Additionally whe would have had easier inventory to move because she could have advertised both a 1 a 2 bedroom unit. Am I missing something.

My guess for the strange behavior is:

landlord != owner

Your landlord probably understands how much easier it is to rent a 2 br than a 1 br.

I am not renting from a homeowner or condo. I have a 1400 sqft apt in an apartment community. It is the company that is raising the rent.

You should shop around Alex if your rent is too high.

Luckily, my rent has not increased in the 3 years I’ve been in my current apartment. If it went up a lot I’d just move.

There’s your answer. Not really surprising once there’s the layer of a storefront that is added between you and the person making the decisions about what you’ll be paying.
