minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·20 days agoI’m guessing you were renting month to month instead of signing a lease? Under a lease you’re guaranteed the same amount every month until the lease expires.

minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·20 days agoYeah, if the rent suddenly went up, you were likely month to month. It can still go up when a lease expires, but generally you have more notification and the opportunity to negotiate. It will cost a landlord less to give you a better rate, than clean up and refurbish the unit for a new renter.
