26% Rent Increase? Be Reasonable
This afternoon,
a slip from
the landlord noticed me of a 25.92592% increase of the rent.
Crazy. A year ago, they wanted to raise it by 14.75409%, and we settled at an increase
of 10.65573% after negotiations. Only for the past year, there have been three leaking
cases of the cooling water from the air conditioner. The last time was just a
few days ago. And another leaking case of the ceiling due to some work
upstairs. If I had been outside, nobody would have found it. And the same work
upstairs left a big mess here. Regular air-conditioner cleaning has stopped
long ago. I have been unhappy with this unit almost since Day 1. Then why am I
still staying here? I need the roof above my head, I hate a disrupting moving
more than staying and I cherish my privacy. Even so, this place does not
deserve a 26% rent increase. Definitely.
