Reply to Landlord wants to raise rent by $100 a month. Do these numbers sound fair? by Ill_Temperature_4654

100 out of a 1,900 rent really isn't that bad. My first year in a 1b1ba apartment in Glen Allen they tried to raise me from 1,100ish to over 1,200. I talked to a person in the front office and they changed it to like 3-5% and that was the yearly adjustment percentages they sent me the next 2 years I lived there.

With my case, my rent went towards front office staff, maintenance staff, landscaping staff as well as costs of the property. All of those staff expect annual raises. You should expect an annual rent increase if for nothing else for property taxes. Have you seen some of the posts on here of how much people's property taxes jumped?

If you want to message me feel free. I have rental (well sold all but one now) and manage my own and have thought about managing for others.

My motto is “don’t call me” and the only way to achieve that is by doing things correctly in the first place. If you do it right the first time then you did quality work and it pays dividends long term, that includes finding tenants, contracts, fixing stuff, and just overall not being a nickel and dime kindof guy. My rentals are in Jackson ward.

If we cross paths great but if not good luck my friend!

Yeah I tried. I’ve seen a few places do it now since continuing my search. I’m thinking it’s a way for the tenant to pay for the payment portal for the company but they soon it as in all these benefits to you. Originally they said renters insurance was covered in it but then back tracked and said you could buy renters insurance

Some people at my org are pushing for a 4 day work week. People keep coming back with the offer of 4 10s. That is NOT a 4 day work week, that's just a compressed 5 day work week.

This country is so resistant to improving our own lives, it's ridiculous.

I used to be an extension agent in goochland and our office got calls about starving horses all the time bc animal control wouldn't do anything. We didn't have regulatory power and even reaching out to VDACS & our land grant universities for guidance was unhelpful. Too many people in power are afraid of the folks with $$ in Goochland. So glad to be done with that job

It's been twenty years so I honestly don't remember any details. It was something to the effect of they wanted to present evidence showing how deeply Malvo had been manipulated, but they couldn't. I remember doing a 180 once she explained a few things because I really respected her and her opinion. She wasn't a random bleeding heart.
