Why are you leaving your current place? Just curious, my rent is going up too.

I love my current place, but rent is just too high it’s inhibiting my long term finance plans. I also had concessions on this lease so with that going away i’m expecting an additional $500/month from that alone

Totally get that. You should ask what the increase will be. Most times they are negotiable, I'm in the middle of that now, and LL is very amenable to that conversation. He does not want an empty apartment and I always pay my rent and don't stir up trouble.

I’m definitely going to have a conversation, but my building went from opening in may 2022 to fully occupied in less than 6 months, which is not good for someone in my shoes from a negotiation standpoint

The rental market is nowhere near what it was last year, and the landlords know that, I'd negotiate hard before I packed up and left.

Going to see if they’ll let me sign a long term lease (2 years) and cut me a break on rent
