I've rented for almost 20 years but I've never seen landlords as blatantly money-grubbing as they are now. My current one just tried to raise my rent by 36% to penalize me for trying to go month to month to coerce me into signing a longer term lease. Longer term lease is still $120 more/month 🫠
Jan 5, 2026 17:58I should point out that another unit in down the hall is only $15 more with a 2 month rent concession, too. The landlord straight up said they're using the collusion software all complexes use to set rent prices, and essentially, current tenants pay more because there aren't enough new rentals 🤬
apologies for all my broken clauses in the replies -- words tend to come out of me out of order in writing and I usually edit it out but right now I'm pissed off so yeah, you're getting off the cuff Vanessa, not the nicely edited version (sorry!)
