rent increase during the pandemic?

[Alex Scotte]

My tenants have not missed a payment despite COVID-19 and their lease is up in a couple months. I will be asking them to renew. For awhile, I was planning to raise rent a little because costs for the unit have gone up a lot for a couple years, and I did not raise rent last year. At the same time, I am thinking I should keep rent the same considering the pandemic. Any advice?
