Reply to comment by muttbutt804 in RVA vs. Evernest by harpervn

Yeah my roommate and I are in this same boat. They tried to raise our rent 10% and we were like no fucking way AND the $200 renewal fee. Never in my life have I heard of a “renewal fee”. Are you gonna charge me $200 every fucking year to renew my lease???! I swear it’s like they don’t want people to live there..we got the increase down to a 4.3% increase which we will concede to, but we’re still going back and forth about the renewal fee.

Yeah, I've done so much back and forth arguing I am sick of it. I gave in at what I got. To be fair we have a 3 BR 1 BA in South RVA for under 1500 which right now isn't terrible.

The thing is, we’re gonna renew no matter what because we only just moved in last summer and neither of us wanna move again. And we genuinely love our house. But I’ll be damned if I don’t put up a little fight you know?

We’ve been talking to our property manager and she’s been talking to her manager and the man who owns our house.
