My apartment lease is up this coming February and I just got the renewal papers from the management company. Out of nowhere they want to raise the rent by about ¥15000, which is roughly a 10% increase.
It feels ridiculous. I checked nearby listings and rents aren’t that high. I checked the listing for my building online and the rent hasn’t gone up at all. With the new price I could get a bigger, more comfortable place. Nothing has changed here — No upgrades, no new services.
I’m planning to fight my corner and try to keep the current rent. If they won’t budge, I’m ready to move.
Has anyone dealt with something like this before?
