Any tips on negotiating rent increase? I got a 20% increase and it’s more than I am willing to pay. What are effective ways to negotiate?

If higher than market price, show them the listings that are comparable, if not, then all you can do is ask

Market is 🔥 only argument is that they might save some agent and renovation costs, but even that depends on the building. Your biggest argument is to avoid switching cost and hassle and you can ask if that helps lowering the increase

20% sounds not so bad compared to some horror stories I’ve heard. Are you in a prime area? Advice I’ve heard is to not complain about issues in the building, but rather to emphasize what a good tenant you are. Your good record of paying on time, etc.

It will cost them at least 1 month’s rent to turn over the apartment, so that’s 8% of yearly rent. Maybe you could negotiate it down to a 12% increase? That way they’re breaking even for the coming year and keeping a good tenant.

Off longer term lease or cash up front? Neither of these worked for me but I feel like as a landlord I would want a good tenant to stay longer and cash upfront to invest Vs losing to inflation

It’s illegal for a NYC landlord to take cash upfront of more than a month’s rent. And how does that benefit OP? They’d lose use of the money to invest.

Offer to sign a 2 or 3 year lease with steep penalties of you breaking it.

Your only hope is saving the building hassle from tenant turnover. However, just know that there are so many people looking for apartments and would gladly pay the 20% increase. If you decline it, you better start looking asap.

20% ?? Damn. Is rent stabilization uncommon?

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
