Currently it is a very advantageous time to sell most types of homes and it seems like a “miss” to not increase the rents AND miss this potential opportunity to sell.I would look to increase the rent at least 10% for the next term (probably not more than that because the sticker shock will be jolting).  

Knowing that banks do not allow homeowners to escrow once the mortgage is paid up (or if there's no mortgage to begin with) is a huge gap and leads to a lot of people either missing tax payments or sticker shock when the payments are due (since most people generally do not know how to save appropriately).The idea for my product would give people the same convenience as a traditional bank escrow account, with certain added benefits including: - higher offered interest rates (as opposed to close to 0 with traditional servicers)- lower 'cushion' needed (meaning, less cash sitting in the account)- ability to use multiple modes of payment (e.g., credit card, crypto, etc)- ability to use the account as a general savings account with high yield as an optionHoping to get some input/feedback.

(The reason given by the City is that water heaters and HVAC systems have been "stickered" by those companies without actually being inspected or brought up to code or those companies have done work without pulling the proper permits.)  

The goal is to keep the rent in line with market rates without having a huge sticker shock to the tenant.I have to take exception with the previous comment that it's in the PMs interest to have lots of vacancies, so our interests are not in line with the landlord.

I'm not sure how they got in, but the PM immediately changed the codes and is getting security system stickers for the windows.

If they have never lived in that area before than they are probably in sticker shock.

They cut signs in half and take half, leaving one of their stickers on the remaining half.Call them "haters", "low lifes", and "bullies" if you want but you're the one putting up illegal signs.

ABC dealership charges Full Sticker (i.e. 3% Buyer’s Agent Commission Points) and refuses to budge.

If a guy pulls up with a budwieser sticker in his beat up old truck, I'm going to assume he gets lit on fridays and isn't going to treat my place well. - Forward progress in Life - Personally, I want people who will stay 2 to 4 years at a rent that makes sense and then move out so I can increase the rents and do any revitalization work that needs doing or repairs required that went unreported during their tenancy. 

I would also make sure they pull permits as it is your only protection to determine the work was completed correctly and when you eventually sell the place the buyer's inspector is going to look for a sticker on your box.Depending on the type of wiring in your house grounding the outlets could be a big project as it may require a re-wire....
