My lease in Chicago is up in July - I’ve been staying out of the city with family through covid. Do we think things will be back to normal by then? Not sure if I should just move out until WFH is over

Similar situation. Also layering on the uncertainty of the job market right now, and trying not being trapped in an expensive 12 month lease and newly laid off (if that were to happen)

My building in west loop didn’t raise rates but currently negotiating a free month concession. Think the leverage is adequate

Which building is this? I’m looking to potentially move to west loop once my lease is up!

Negotiating a free month might be a good idea - that’s what I’m trying to avoid is continuing to pay rent while I’m not there

That’s not the question

I’m about to renew too, is everyone’s rates staying the same or are they going up/down?

I contacted them and they counteroffered with a 2% raise. Much better but it still feels unethical.

In a similar boat but im planning on not renewing. my firm is OK with me wfh while the lockdown lasts, and they're OK with me staying another month or two past that if needed until I can buy / find a new place.

I’m in the same boat but I’d rather move within the city once than fully back home and fully back into an apt. Even if I’m not living there it’ll be nice to have a place should you need it
