Reply to comment by Professional-Can1385 in Just got my new lease for next year… how much do rent controlled apt normally go up? by Practical_Awareness4

So do rent control apts normal just bump the rent as high as they can? I see the same rent increase for month to month vs annual… I was willing to sign a longer lease for less of an increase

My studio was not “historically low” and I don’t think there’s a harm in checking. I am not ungrateful about my situation in any way. Simply asking questions.

Capitalism has a lot of benefits, but it also has a lot of dark sides. The exploitation of something as fundamental a human right as shelter for maximized profit is one of the dark negatives.

My rent control building does not usually bump to the highest allowed. They did this year, but the voluntarily paused my 2020 scheduled rent increase before the covid pause.

You can try to negotiate with your landlord to have a lower rent increase if you sign a new lease. But it's not a given.
