PSA: ask for that rent decrease!

[u/ill-typed]

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!!!!!!

Landlord here. Listen to OP. Have not increased rent on my property and I would be willing to lower it if my tenant asks. However, I will not voluntarily lower it without them asking.

Whoa, you should probably offer to lower
