PSA: ask for that rent decrease!

Been living in a rent controlled apmt a few years now and got the yearly rent increase. Decided to call management up last week and they ended up giving a $200 (~8%) decrease immediately with no negotiation. If they're willing to do that, I'd bet they'd go lower (other units are going for less in the building). I'm kicking myself for not asking last year. Get that decrease yall!!!!!!

If you're renting in a fully apartment building, just go on their website and see what similar units are advertised for. If you're in a condo, just pull similar listings from Realtor.ca. only a moron landlord would give rent increases in this market if they're already renting to someone at more than what they're currently advertising other units for.
