My rent's going up again...
10 years ago
General
Got papers in my mailbox today from my landlord company. Apparently they're upping my rent again for the fourth straight year in a row. Usually it's something like $15 a month, nothing groundbreaking, but this year they're upping it by $50 and having the nerve to tell me (they use polite words, call it a "concession") that I'm lucky they're not raising it by $70 a month.
As if everything else in the world wasn't also increasing in price, my annual raises don't cover the rate of inflation, and my rent is going up by this much too? This is just frustrating.
Oh and I've been quiet here because I visited my mother last week, with mixed results, then immediately afterwards got sick. I'm feeling marginally better now, though I'm still a bit congested and coughing stuff up.

Sounds like they're just being greedy.

Any more reasonably priced places around? Hope you catch a break sometime soon.

OP
I'm considering it, but moving is expensive. I'm also weary of succumbing to the folly of "grass is always greener...". I'd hate to move to a cheaper place only to find the area has higher crime, loud neighbors, or something else like that.
May the Force be with you in your quest for better times. They are a-coming!
