These landlord companies all stink. I would have lived in my first apartment another 3 years if they didn't auto increase the rent 6% each year because the "market pieces" were going up. Meanwhile, like many of you have noted, the identical unit next door was on the market for LESS than we were paying.

Had to fight about it each year for them to knock our rent down instead of signing a brand new lease to move next door, to the same stupid unit, and have them re-list our unit. Moved when they eventually stopped accepting our counter-offer of common sense.

I swear they're allergic to brain cells, cause they sure try their best to alienate happy, paying tenants.
