Well, the landlord switched management companies on 1 Jan for some reason. Naturally, I tend to think it’s because the other management company didn’t have as good a cost/benefit proposal as this one did. However, since coming in the new management company has sent emails with huge spelling/grammar mistakes, sent emails out of order (here’s your new rental agreement - you can expect your new rental agreement to come in the next few days), and not handled the snow in the parking lot at all well.
They have also added the benefit of a business center (during the COVID lockdown?), reimbursement of some pool membership if we join in the summer, and still not reopened the fitness room.
Anyway, the rent increases are probably based on this perceived addition of value - none of which I care about. But I’m sure telling the landlord they will bring in this much more revenue each month went over very well.
My mother would never raise the rent on a tenant who was paying. One month of vacancy cancels out a year of gain from the higher rent increment.
Kathleen and I are going to the park with friends. It’s in the 40s and cloudy, but we have warm clothes.
As Robert Burton would opine, “Penny wise and pound foolish.”
It boggles the mind that a company can be accepted as valid when they have no inkling of English grammar and spelling. But don’t get me started.
I suspect you won’t be the only renter to vacate permanently in the near future.
