After 8 years, that is! I've been in the same rented condo since Sept 2008. Rent has been $800/month that entire time. Bargain! I'm in a nice suburb. It's going up to $860 on Sept. 1. I can deal with that. I've been very fortunate with these landlords (unit owner). They've been pretty good about maintenance (guy is very handy) and such. All the original mid-1980s appliances were replaced within 8 months of when I moved in.
Sounds as though you have the perfect spot to rent.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Where I live all rentals are going up town wide. In fact vacancies are at an all time low.Originally Posted by Tradd
We're seeing rents go up in Phoenix too.
Tradd: did you ever get rid of your noisy neighbors?
Rentals are going up everywhere since investors have decided that's where to put their money. $860 here would be an absolute bargain. We are renting a temporary place here for one month - $1495 and it is bare bones.
I pay $860 for a 350 sq. ft. apt. -- one bedroom.
Well, the same woman still lives upstairs, but she apparently got rid of the very noisy boyfriend and the dogs which must have been his. It's very quiet up there now. She still lives there, but the noise level is so much less. I wonder if she was threatened with fines or something from the condo association.
Damn, that's a great deal! Do you need a roommate?
Nope, sorry. It's a one bedroom. And I swore years ago that I would live by myself unless I got married.
A co-worker said his adult daughter moved to Seattle and is paying $1235/month for a 375 sq. ft. apartment.
