I live in Roxbury and my landlord sent out a lease renewal this week and is asking for a $175 increase in rent. Last year I released and I only had a $25 increase. Im new to Boston renting and I was wondering if this is pretty standard for the area. I've had no work done on the apartment in 2 years and a $200 total increase over these 2 years feels like a lot but maybe its standard? My apartment is relatively old, unrenovated, and I don't have a dishwasher or laundry machine in building if that matters.
