Apartment I just moved out of due to cost increase is now on the market for less than I was renting it for.

I'm not even sure this is a vent, so much as a marveling at the absurdity. Lived in a flat in a large complex for the last 4 years. Initial rent was $1410/mo, which seemed fairly reasonable at the time. First increase was small, and expected. But they also promised to upgrade some of our ancient appliances, so we shrugged it off. (Shocker, updates never happened.) Second increase was much larger, and the rate of increase just continued climbing from there. At the last renewal management offered a rate nearing $2K, and were not willing to negotiate or make any of the updates we were promised by the original management at our first renewal, so 10 days ago I packed up my life and moved out.

Today I noticed my old flat is listed at $1,395. Same exact unit. I know because they use a numbering system for the units, and because my next door neighbor moved out the same week and theirs is listed right next to it. (We also met 2 other flats moving out at the same time due to pricing. The moving trucks have been a constant since the spring.)

Honestly, we were pretty good tenants. Always on time, no complaints, few maintenance requests, clean. Just... confused by the desire to run us out over maybe a hundred dollars, only to take a $400 monthly hit.

Welp, good riddance.
