They tried to raise me by 20% this year at the waycroft. Got on the phone with the property manager, was really nice to them and told them we loved the place and would love to stay but that increase was just too high. He ended up lowering it from our original lease and threw in free parking. Just talk to them and be nice.
I send a long email each time negotiating no increase or free months rent. Has worked both times
Can you share that email?!
Rent was raised $200 in 2019, then at my last place, rent was going to be lowered $250 but we found a better deal in the neighborhood we liked. I think the decrease in rent was a glitch because the apartment went for rent $245 above our rent after we left ($495 difference from our renewal offer)
Raised each time
$100 most years
I've never had a rent increase in DC or Arlington. Always rented directly from owners.
Been at my apartment 4 years. 3% every year.
