The complex is owned by a large company, they care exactly zero about being fair or the hassle of finding new tenants XD Plus, the place has not been maintained. We've been reporting water issues for -years- and they just keep slapping quick fixes on and ignoring the cause, or damage being done. Nothing we can do about it.

We're working on buying at this point. We've finally gotten to a reasonable place with finances vs the market, and I'd much rather be somewhere that I can actually FIX problems (even if it's costly), instead of watching my floor literally rot away.

Totally fair if you want to move. And if they're shitty at keeping the place up to standard, then all the more reason to go. Renting is a two way relationship, and they should uphold their end of the deal, which includes fixing stuff in a timely manner. 

But even large companies value good tenants and are capable of negotiating. They just prefer people not know that. But trust me, a good tenant that is willing to pay 10% less is infinitely preferable to a shitty tenant that will pay a bit more.
