Wait, your rent was $2191? What kind of maniac landlord sets rent like that?

NJ landlord lol. I’m actually essentially “grand fathered” into this rate and if I were to move out and right back into the same unit my rate would go up $600.

They your unit if not subject to rent control ordinances, as the price is not tenant dependent. If you're unsure, you can reach out to your municipality and ask them.

That would make me happier because at least it seems like they are basing it on something. Instead of something random.

Our mortgage payment is such a specific number lol. Ie ends in like $XX46.21 or something like that. I have to round up my payments to the nearest whole dollar (5s or 0s only dammit) for my own sanity. My husband thinks I’m nuts, I am, but when we get our statement at the end of the year I get to boast and say look I paid an extra $200 down on the principal just by rounding up! 😆

Ome thousand seven hundred eighty nine and 67/100. Hard to even fit in the check. It's a great apartment way under market with a parking space. Guess there has to be one wierd quirk.

assuming op lives in a town that has rent laws that allow it to only be raised by a specific percentage each year. that number is probably what you get from last year's number + the allowed percentage.
