It's not that hard to figure out what people are charging for a similar unit today, especially in a larger market where a high percentage of listings are online

It's not that hard to figure out what people are charging for a similar unit today, especially in a larger market where a high percentage of listings are online.
Some mom and pop landlords (including myself) prioritize for having sustainable, enjoyable tenants. The gold standard is a tenant who requires little upkeep, pays on time, and stays for a long time. I won't increase the rent on tenants who are easy to work with.
If a new prospective tenant asked why the price is going up, I'd explain that it's the going market rate, and they're welcome to find another place. I doubt transparency would change anything when listing prices are already public and rarely negotiable
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y ago> mom and pop landlords If one was looking for such a landlord, what should they be looking for on the listing? Is there a common place where you might choose to list a rental that's not as frequently used by big players?
- orwin 3y agoI found two in 10 years, so I might be an expert! Ask your friends and extended family about it. Especially if you're looking for single bedroom apartment. You never know, X's grandfather can have a small appartement he doesn't want to put on the market because it's a hassle, or your cousins' family (the other one) can have the perfect appartement for 2 people, 2 minutes from the sea, 5 from the train station, and you just have to wait a year for it.
