Some states here in the US have rent control and some don't. The one I live in doesn't. My landlord could double my rent and all I could do is find somewhere else to live. Its a really shitty and unfair, especially considering how expensive housing is right now.

Tbf rent caps and other methods of rent control generally reduce housing supply and raise prices long term, it and to a greater extent restrictions on housing construction are major reasons for the housing crisis in many places

@@jondoh366 Huh, that's interesting. I guess part of it might be that if increases are tightly controlled, then you might have fewer people moving in and out since they're comfortable where they are (no sudden spikes in rent), which could contribute lower supply? I don't know, just guessing. Edit: ok nvm, just looked it up, and it seems to come down to lower incentives for landlords to rent their place out in the first place, trying to increase rent by a lot whenever limits are lifted, trying to keep repair costs low due to low return, fewer incentives to build properties for the purpose of renting, etc etc. Low incentives having unintended side effects, in a nutshell.

​@@Ketooey Generally, price controls reduce the incentive to invest in providing a product or service, meaning in the long term supply will be lower than it otherwise would be to a degree depending on how severe the price controls are. Since lower supply means the same amount of people are competing for less resources, people will be willing to pay more for housing and since new and relisted units can still charge what they want for their base rent, prices will still increase over time as leases expire and new units are built. You could solve this by going the price cap route so you just can't charge more than a certain amount in rent, but that has the potential to basically cripple long-term investment and construction, leading to mass shortages and making it extremely difficult to actually find housing. (Though presumably the people who manage to actually get said housing probably get a decent deal)

I love the hounds man. The squeaks give me life.😊

$500! $250! Then I heard this was monthly rent. We do weekly here and I freaked out a bit.

holy! 500 usd rent raise! that's ridiculous I heard apparently the government doesn't make it easy to just build your own thing on a property you bought. I technically live in a barn, it doesn't have to meet human living requirements, winters are cold, summers are hot, but I like to believe I won

Can relate, lived in a good complex of mostly other yuppies and old people, rent was more than fair. Then in 2022 the ladies got bought out by a property management corp based out on the East Coast. Suddenly rent has increased $100 a month yearly since. Then I had termites and they tried to "hush-hush!" it. I don't even trust the structural integrity of this place. Luckily I have been saving and now have very little debt, plan on buying next spring.

Rip housing market. 7.5% interest rate is gonna suck and those who already own homes are not going to want to sell them when they obtained them at lower interest rates. Worst part is that it’s not even necessarily a bubble in the sense that there legit hasn’t been enough housing built for 25 years. Hopefully, stuff isn’t worse in 2026 for her

If it was a brand new lease and the landlord raised the rent within a few months that is simply a predatory practice and the landlord should be denounced for that. Advertise what the price is gonna be for the entire year of rent, or don't rent your property at all

@@nocturem depends on who you ask. I think most rentcells could actually, with a bit of work become property owners, maybe even fully formed landlords. But they feel so entitled to housing and just expect it be given to them. And it’s that self defeating rentoid attitude why they will forever stay rentcells. The best advice I can give them is that when a landlord is speaking, they should listen and learn.

Ol Runester did exactly what you are supposed to do, but nobody does anymore: negotiate. Being a landlord is a business, and when a price increase comes along, there is some percent of it that is normal overhead & maintenance, some amount that is future budgeting, and some amount that is squarely profit. I know that last one will rile people up, but if the concept of profit makes you mad, you need to deal with it; every system factora this in, and many other financial/economic models will bend you over the barrel harder, even if your local suits tepp you otherwise (pro tip: they're lying to take advantage of you). With that in mind, they are going to highball you, which is where the negotiation starts. You can either push for a orice more favorable to you, accept the increase and move on, or move out. Whining won't solve anything, nor will commiserating online or amongst real people long-term. If the deal is bad for you, you HAVE to be prepared to walk away from it after negotiations fail. That is likely what the other renters did, and in such numbers that the rental agency was willing to take Runie's lower payment to keep cash flowing in and avoid sitting on a total loss. More than likely the actuao amount the agency wanted was what she was willing to pay, hence why you negotiate. A caveat: don't do this at retail stores. If you want to work on haggling and negotiating, find a flea market. It is an invaluable skill to have, especially for big purchases like cars, homes, land, etc.

I tried to negotiate with my last landord when he bumped my rent almost $1000/mo, he told me to pound sand. I moved out, he showed the place to two prospective tenants while I was still there and one of them signed before I'd even finished moving my stuff. There's no way they're paying less than he asked me for.

I think Mao Zedong had a point.
