What a rent hike really costs

A percentage increase sounds small until you annualize it: a 5% bump on $1,800 is $90 a month — over $1,000 a year. Seeing the monthly and yearly dollar impact side by side helps you decide whether to accept, negotiate, or move, and whether the increase outpaces inflation.

Quick FAQ

Is my increase legal?

Most places allow reasonable increases with proper notice, but rent-controlled units and some cities cap the annual percentage. Check your lease and local law before assuming.

Should I negotiate?

Often worth trying — landlords value reliable tenants and turnover is costly for them. Come with the annual-dollar figure and comparable local rents.
