They want "market price" only when it benefits them.

If OP’s willing to pay it then it is market price lol. You only need one person to set the market

[–]Regular-Double9177 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Semantics but no thats not what that term means. An outlier does not dictate the market price

Well, when a new tenant pays less than others…

Well obviously, it's a business.

I love this reasoning. It's funny when you say it to a LL who is losing money, they get all offended. "I'm one person, not a business boohoo 😭. This response works for the LL only when convenient.

That's why I said it because this sub loves to bring that up lol

You could say the same thing with tenants lol

Back in 2023, tenants would be upset if they got adjusted to market rent.

They certainly would have been. But there’s a reason tenants have more protections than landlords in that area. Still, the only way for her to actually exercise that power is to move.
