Reply to comment by The_Nomadic_Nerd in Tenants Fight Back As Rents Soar In Jersey City And Hoboken by mad_dog_94

I lived in the same apartment in grad school for 3 years and my landlord never raised rent in that time. When I moved out they thanked me for being such a great tenant and gave me my deposit back on the spot. They told me they only raised rent between tenants to match the market but don't want to mess up a good relationship with a tenant they don't have to worry about.

It's ridiculous that this is now completely abnormal behavior.

I lived in the same house for nearly 10 years, and the landlord never raised the rent. He gave the same reasons. Why mess up a good relationship with a steadily paying tenant who doesn't mess up the property?
