Did your rent Increase?

[calendria]

 

Did anyone's Rent climb over the top this year?  I've been reading about 40-60% increases here where I live, and people being forced out of 10+ years rental history because of it.  Sad .  My mortgage went up but that was the home Ins (Materials they say) increase.  That Cola we got went pretty fast, with food prices, rent, Medicare premiums and gas. (gasp, gas!! )

My rent went up $25 in July.  It will probably go up again this July $25 more.  It seems a lot for the size of my apartment, but what are you going to do.  You have to have somewhere to live.  The raise we got from Medicare is a joke.  The premium went up, the deductible when up.  Part D deductible went up and the cost of medication went up.

That isn't bad at all, rents here went up $600 a month! Just crazy, Corp buying all the houses here and charging rates no one can afford!

Ouch, I am thankful that we don't have to rent. I feel bad for those that can't buy with those crazy prices for homes. And then can't afford the crazy rent.

I agree.  I am so glad we own our home.  It seems almost impossible for young people to get into homes these days.

We rent from a friend, so not so much. She just raises whatever raises for her. However, everything else in the world is up. Food, gas, everything you buy, going to the movies.

It's insane because of our feckless leader. Sorry. I mean to show respect for leaders, but he makes it impossible. Every move he makes, every step he takes, every smile he fakes; I'll be watchin' him. He makes me ashamed of him mostly.

I feel for you all. I was fortunate enough that my parents left me a house. Thank you Mom and Dad I love and miss you

We sold our last house 5 years ago and paid cash for this one, so no more rent for us. Social Security is enough to live pretty comfortably now.

I'm fortunate I don't pay rent.  I was reading today how much it's gone up.  They are building a lot in my area but they are townhomes and they are no less than $400K it's simply ridiculous.  How is anyone affording these houses is beyond me.

Everything goes up and salary doesnt keep up with rent increases

[Jsnugs]

No thankfully rent has not, however; the property tax went up $100.00. My going out to places got limited.

[Zebbanon]

Oh, it's so true that the salary doesn't keep up with the huge increase in prices, and all you can do is find a second job to survive. You know what? I even think about getting into trading because it seems like a good source of income, and I have no idea how to make money without spending too much time and effort. I discovered Bitcoin Motion that's a good tool for beginners, and hopefully, I won't regret it later.
