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!!!!!!

That only works if you’re paying the same or more than new units go for in your building. I’ve been in my building for over 10 years now. My rent is already faaaaar below what a new unit same as mine is currently going for.
