“My landlord wants to raise my rent by 45%...”
The rent is too darn high! Stories like these are becoming more common, and really is another reason purchasing a home could make sense. When you buy a home with a fixed rate mortgage, your payment will not change (note - property taxes can go up and down), so you know what you’ll owe.
“Dear PoPville,
I live in a newer apartment building in NoMa & after living here for a year, my landlord wants to raise my rent by 45%. Do you know if there are any restrictions limiting rent increases in non-rent-controlled buildings (which as I understand, are built pre-1975)?”
