Broseph they’ve been raising my rate since I moved in several years ago. My rate used to be $925. My brother rented a studio near my area for $1200 at that time, I have a 2 bed 1 bath unit with plenty of space. The shitty thing is that I’m more or less trapped here. I appreciate deeply I haven’t been priced out of my home, but there’s nowhere to go. And believe me, I want out of here. I guess at least I’m grateful there’s some agencies not entirely committed to totally fucking their clients.
I’m grateful to have a stable roof over me these past years, especially considering my past, but I recognize I may be in a more favorable area in general in regards to rent prices. Shit’s rough. I wish you the best. But right now this is taking up near 35% of my income. I’d rather have the two floors plus basement even if the place is falling apart compared to having a studio somewhere. And they’d make me pay to apply and have to do a credit check. All they did here was confirm I had an income. I consider myself lucky now, though I was sour in the past.
That’s garage money in my area. As in, $1200 gets you a somewhat converted garage, possibly without permits, and there’s garage door might be from the 70s and falling apart.
My only hope of home ownership around here is waiting for my parents to die and inheriting one. That said, I keep telling them to sell all their shit, move somewhere cheaper, and retire for fuck’s sake, so we’ll see how that pans out.
Get off your ass and get 50+ full time jobs you lazy fucks!
And stop earning avocados.
Stop eating avocados. Start eating landlords.
Tough to stomach at first, but very good for you and the community.
If I keep paying the current $1200 a month to my landlord, it’ll eventually trickle down to me. No doubt!
Then with that revenue, I’ll buy my first house!
In reality, I’m almost 28 and I have no delusions about home ownership. Just like retirement!
Only 1200 a month?
God I wish.

That’s the going rate for renting a room in someone’s house in my neck of the woods.
