Hey Steven,I’d recommend reaching out to your county assessor to inquire about the increase.

Feel free to use this template:RE: RenewalDear Tenant:With the increased cost of taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other incidentals we are required to increase your monthly rent.

However, on the renting side, we have seen an increase in inventory of days on market too. 

Do you see any new rental property up in the market has increased rent since L.A. fire issue?

This would increase the benefit to where the fee would not be so outrageous that it would hinder the investment.

You can simply request a separate check for the $100 increase to bring the total deposit in line with the new rent amount.

Recently I got a huge increase also.

I just got a notice from the MD department of assessments & taxation that the value of my property will increase from 120k to 261k , spread out over 3 years equally.This is a ridiculous increase of 118%.

By accelerating your depreciation schedules, you reduce your taxable income which in turn increases your operating cash flow.

The importance of lowering expenses and increasing efficiency to maximize property income.
