Yeah I agree with everything you said. I’m in a place like you described where rent hasn’t gone up in the three years I’ve been here because the owner knows it’s more important to keep good tenants than to squeeze every dollar out. However I’m in Maryland and we want to move to Providence to be closer to family. We have an owner virtually showing us a 2 bed room on Rochambeau Ave tomorrow and he straight up told us that he listed it for $2,600 to weed people out but is happy to negotiate on price “for the right person”….luckily for me and my girlfriend we fit that bill but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth when people say the quiet part out loud.

If you hear of anything opening up this spring/summer (honestly April - July, we’re flexible) we’d love the tip! 😉

I’m in the process of looking for a place to live, can you provide more information on this super chill affordable apartment…?
