Raises rent, offers no additional value to the proposition. Pay it or vacate. By the way, rent has been raised across the board in the are, so fuck you. Coincidentally your paltry COLA raises that are below the actual cost of living do not compensate to match the rent hike.

Also, you can call any time, and they will return your call as soon as possible, or more likely never. Good luck to you, and don’t even dream of receiving your full security deposit back, as those door hinges and 5 year old carpet looks nothing like it did when you moved in and must be replaced.

I have an accountant friend that mentioned he was thinking about getting a rental property one day. I told him I thought that was immoral and his response was that he would charge below market rate. This implies that market rate is the neutral point in his moral system. Above that line is immoral and below it is moral. But market rate is the max that you can possibly charge by definition. If you charged above market rate and got a tenant, that's just the market rate now. It's impossible for him to be immoral in his system. All the while, he's setting himself up to build his wealth off of someone with less money than himself and increasingly benefitting off of a housing crisis.

This is offensive to leeches.

Hey! Thinking of bigger numbers and painting over black mold patches is meaningful work! /s
