Rent Increase

[P'd Off]

What is the maximum rent increase you can be charged in Baltimore, Maryland? (Apartment)

 

[djdj]

what ever the landlord wants.......

So why are you so pissssssed offff anyway?

didnt they give you a 30 day notice that the rent was going up? when does your lease end?

Is there rent control in Baltimore?

Check, and check limits, if any.

Well "djdj" I'm pissed off because the landlord is trying to raise my rent $100.00 more a month. And Yes!!! they did give me notice but my reason for posting was to see if I had any rights as a tenant as to how much they could raise it!!!! Since you replied do you know? Oh, I thought not djdj!!!

P.S. LL where can I go to find out if there is rent control in Baltimore so I can find out the limits if any.

 

[LL]

It is my understanding that there is no rent control in Baltimore.

Actually, $100 per month is not such an unusually large increase in these days of rapidly rising rent. You may be over-reacting.

 

[djdj]

HE IS OVERREACTING.........

you get heat right? fuel prices have really gone up i the last year so $100 a month is not bad...plus if you are living in a nice neighborhood....well people with MONEY can always pay more then you.

Large rent increases of the last year or two are due to demand-pull inflation and not due to cost-push inflation. They are primarily a result of increases in real estate values.
