Reply to comment by The_Kentwood_Farms in Landlord wants to raise rent by $100 a month. Do these numbers sound fair? by Ill_Temperature_4654

Yeah that’s exactly what it is. It’s robbery. They send one filter every three months. But they put it under the guise of this program that you could purchase renters insurance, it helps “build your credit”, which we don’t need, and some coupons or something. And it’s mandatory! Like just make the rent $30 more if you want the money that bad.

I will add renters insurance is very helpful but never get it through the company you are renting from.

people should ALWAYS get renters insurance. Saved my butt once.

But they should get it from the same company that does their car insurance.

It's cheap insurance

Oh no I got it through my auto insurance. I just thought that if they were mandating $30 a month and it included insurance then it’s not as much of a scam

they send a filter, they don't put it in? Starting to sound more bullshit

Yep. Mandatory. Don’t provide a step stool or anything either lol. And the first two times they sent the wrong size

No! Surprisingly! They were impossible to work remotely. But I had seen similar charges with them.
