Moved in in January and paying $1600 had a lease through July. I asked for a new 2 year lease and landlord is saying I’d need to pay $1650 for the first year and $1700 for the second year. He has not improved anything for that extra rent. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Depends on the state / area but generally annual rent increases are closer to $100. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

Landlord insurance has doubled. So expect bigger increases. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Man you're lucky that's all he's raising it per year, especially in Rhode Island.
I just moved out of a place that I moved into for $765 in 2020. When I moved out my rent was $1200. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Looks like RI does not have a rent increase cap, so legally they can raise it whatever they want. Average rent increases in the state year over year are about 6% or in your case $96/year. As far as market rate goes, you got a deal. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
3% increase a year is more than reasonable unless the place is a complete shithole. Even so, it's still probably reasonable. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yup, that’s what they do-raise the rent but you don’t actually get any improvements. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It's because landlords want their income to keep up with inflation even though your wages will not. It's a really great way to keep poor people poor. r/LateStageCapitalism | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
$50 (3%) a year? Seems cheap. I wish my taxes and insurance only went up $50 a year. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Exactly! I would start saving and prepare to leave, and make showing the place as difficult as possible. Free market in this country is insane | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Seems like a good deal. Rent increases are not only to improve the building. Taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses have been increasing by a lot more than the percentage of your rent increase. But none of that really matters. What matters is whether the rent is in line with market rates for similar properties. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Is it worth it to you to pick up and move over a $600 total cost increase over a lease renewal now and then another $600 total cost increase a year later?
My moving truck alone was $1200 and I moved 2 miles away. Not counting all the other expenses of app fee, new deposit, utility transfer, not to mention my own time is valuable and moving is a pain with looking, then packing and then moving and unpacking, etc.
I don’t know maybe it is to you…you have to determine what value it is to you and what “worth it” means to you.
(And you have no guarantee a new place won’t gouge you even more on a renewal after you moved out over $600 total annual increase. You’re getting offered a two year lease, which a lot don’t offer!) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
You can negotiate the rent. The benefit of signing a 2 year lease is that he has a reliable tenant and doesn’t need to worry about showings/house sitting empty with no rental income, in between tenants. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
A little background: I have been in the process of moving to a more HCOL area due to a new job and have taken the advice to work with a real estate agent to best our odds on securing a place for me and my family due to the pace some of these listings being taken off the market. We found a place we like close to my work that we've been accepted for and have signed a lease with all parties including placing a security deposit. Key information here is that the listing states that the tenant pays for some utilities and the owner pays for some utilities.
We are 9 days from moving in and were sent utilities instructions for setting up accounts. After some confusion, we contacted our agent and it seems both the listing agent and our agent have overlooked that the lease states all utilities are included in the rent. We were told that this was in error and that we will need to have an amended lease written up that we will sign stating that these are not included. I asked the agent if the lease is enforceable as is and she said that she needs to contact the listing agent to confirm what utilities are included but that she expects we will simply make amendments to the paragraph for utilities.
This seems a bit unprofessional and I surely guarantee if the opposite were true, that the utilities were included in the listing but not in the lease, that we would be liable for paying utility costs.
Does anyone have advice for my situation? I believe the lease being signed by both parties speaks for itself but our agent is hesitant to agree.
Edit: Forgot to mention: location is Virginia. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I recently moved out of a home that I rented for 5 years. The home is managed by Pure Property Management. They just recently sent me an "invoice" in which they detailed the repairs made to the home and how it took all $1180 of the security deposit and advised I still owe over $600. I am under no delusion that the house was in perfect condition but there was no major damage to any part of the home. Normally I would just be passive and accept it, however, there was a problem with old/faulty plumbing the day before move-out which caused flooding in the detached laundry room and, when I attempted to shut off the water flow to the room, caused a (possibly) sprinkler pipe to burst in the yard. The problem was reported to the property maintenance, at which point I was told it constituted an emergency under my lease agreement and that the property management would be responsible for repairs. This event has me suspicious that they are trying to get me to unwittingly pay for the plumbing repairs, which are not included in their invoice.
The invoice itself is just a word document stating what the repair was and how much it supposedly cost plus the tax. My property manager also said the office would send pictures of any damage that needed to be repaired, prior to the repairs, so that I could contest any charges I felt invalid, and of course that was not done. All this to ask, is it reasonable to ask for an itemized invoice for what they are charging me? Do they have to provide one in AZ if requested or do I just have to suck it up? What steps should I take before I start to consider just paying the $600 and moving on with my life? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Hey college student on paid internship in Ohio 👋. Got this place for 1200 a month, basement/first floor 1 bedroom, ive been living here for 1 month and there’s already issues but I’m not really in a position to move out.
Before moving in I was not warned about the pest control happening, there have been bugs showing up (dead thankfully) on my floor, about 3-5 in a week. When it rained part of the bedroom ceiling near the window was DRIPPING HARD which ruined some of my books. And now I just got home from work, put my knee on my bed and one of the supports slammed to the floor, I have not been rough with the bed by any means, it was unstable when I got here.
Landlord is mildly responsive, I can get into contact but he has not checked the leak and it’s been 2 weeks
What should I do? I can’t really move out and I can deal with living here for another few months but this is NOT worth 1.2k. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
we were trying to move a couch upstairs and well, this happened. any advice is appreciated greatly | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If you have the matching/existing paint just paint over it. You won’t even notice, nor will your landlord. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Get some putty, use an old gift card or credit card to help smooth it on, and then lightly sand it if you can't get the paint color. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Just fill in with several coats of paint until it looks natural. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I would do absolutely nothing. That's pretty normal ware. Every unit needs touch-up paint on turnover anyway. Unless it bothers you.
Edit: If it does bother you, just paint it and ask the maintenance guy or manager for a little of the paint instead of trying to color match.
I found that after 19 years of maintenance, people who try DIY and self touch ups normally make more work for the person turning the apartment. People fill holes with the weirdest shit and try to match paint, then I would have to sand it repatch and retexture all for something that I could have properly filled in 2 seconds. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

We bought some touch up paint off Amazon that works pretty well for stuff like that. I think it’s called Soto Paint touch-up. Just make sure you get the right shade. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Just paint it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
sounds like me when I've scraped the rental car and finding that the autozone stuff isnt close to being the right shade and making it look even more obvious... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I had this feeling with the touch up paint when I put it on but luckily once it dried it was perfect! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

Result 😁 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
It looks as bad as it does because there are like seventeen coats of paint on it already. 😂 Trim the excess with an exacto knife, sand it a little, and there won’t be any sticking up. If they’re going to ding you for it with your security deposit when you move out, ask your maintenance or landlord for the color code for the paint before you move out so you can touch it up. It’s really no big deal. Corners have a metal fixture on them that’s mudded into place to keep the drywall from crumbling from wear and tear like what just happened, and you paint over it when it gets knocks. In your own house you can do it more nicely, but for that wall, trim, sand, touch up. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
This should be considered normal wear. It’ll take a little putty and some paint and it’ll be fixed right up. Would take them like 5 mins tops | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
If it doesn't bother you
... leave it until you move out... because the same thing is going to happen again when you move... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
If that’s not considered wear and tear I don’t know what is | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Corner paint tends to split like that on its own given enough time, so I wouldn’t stress too much about it.
However, if you want to fix it and make it look nicer, just fill it with spackle, let it dry, reapply spackle and let dry as needed to completely fill the crack, sand it down (wear a mask when you do this and don’t inhale the dust), and top it with a coat or two of paint.
Hopefully your landlord left you with a can of paint, but if they didn’t just text them and ask them if they have a spare can for touch ups. If they don’t, ask them to send you the color details/specs for the paint. Paint colors are super standardized nowadays, and you can get a freshly mixed quart from Home Depot for less than $15. Make sure you match the gloss level of the paint correctly as well. Matte, eggshell, semi-gloss and gloss are all *different* things and it will look absolutely ridiculous if you try to paint a glossy patch on a matte wall, even if the color matches (ask me how I know 😀) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Nothing. It's wear and tear. The cost of wear and tear was already paid for when you paid your rent. It's your landlord's responsibility to fix it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
All of the windows in my apartment have a stopper. The windows only open a few inches. There’s only one window in my living room that opens, and it’s driving me crazy because there’s absolutely no airflow and because I’m on the 4th floor, it’s very hot. I don’t know how to remove these screws, please help! | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Looks like it's attached with rivets. It's not meant to be removed. The landlord doesn't want the liability of windows that can open fully. Maybe try multiple smaller fans that fit in the opening. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I don’t think there’s any removing that without being able to put it back in without your landlord noticing | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Damn. It was worth a try! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

I'm based in Brooklyn, NY. I moved in with a roommate I met on the internet last year. I was not on a lease and she would not give me the landlord's contact information, so she sort of functioned as my landlord. I payed rent to her, and put down a security deposit of 1250 to move in. There were major, major maintenance issues in the time I lived there: I was without heat the entire winter despite paying an exorbitant gas bill (the building was a single meter and we were billed for heat for our unit and the downstairs unit, a condition she refused to address), there was major water damage and a hole in the hallway ceiling (you could see a sliver of sky), and black mold in my bedroom. None of these were addressed in the time I lived there. I informed her on the 3rd of June 2024 that I would be moving out on the 15th, and still paid the rent for the entire month of June. She responded on the 5th of June that I didn't give her enough notice so she wouldn't be returning my deposit, and would be putting that money toward her rent in July. She did not attempt to find a replacement for me at any point during the month of June.
We went back and forth on this and she refused to budge. Ultimately I moved out and left furniture/damages. She was keeping my deposit so what incentive did I have to make repairs? Also, if my money is being used towards her rent for that month, should I not retain access?
On July 1st or 2nd she told me she'd give me back half the deposit if I came and cleared out my stuff and spackled some holes in the walls. I did so the following week, and received $625 from her. However, I don't think it's fair I'm only receiving half. In my understanding a security deposit is used to cover potential damages and that's all. I repaired all damages to the room.
I've filed a claim in small claims court, but we do have a signed "roommate contract" stating the security deposit is returnable upon no major damages and "over 30 days notice" of move out. I spoke to a housing attorney I work with and he said this contract wouldn't hold up on court, but I wanted to check here as well. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Tell them you'll pay the 2 extra days prorated and to give you the remainder of your deposit back, and that if they do, you'll keep it out of court. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Last week Thursday I received notice that maintenance would come out on Friday. They never showed up on Friday and didn't show up until today Monday. Since they didn't show up on Friday, did my landlord need to give me a 2nd 24 hour notice that they will show up on Monday instead.
This is very minor, and it actually worked better for me since I was home today but not on Friday. Just want to know the legality of this. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I believe the landlord owes you a second 24 hour notice, yes. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It depends on your states tenant rights. In my state if the tenant requests maintenance no notice period is required, no notice for emergencies, and 72 hours for all else. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
The rules on entry are usually pretty vague. I would mention this to the landlord in passing -- just to show that you're paying attention. As my father would warn "don't make a federal case out of it". | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I’m moving into a new rental space and was going through the lease when I noticed something off. It states…..
“If the resident fails to pay any rent installment when due or violates the lease or the rules and regulations, the landlord may, without terminating this lease, take possession of the premises and rent the same upon such terms and conditions as landlord thinks best, making such repairs as may be required, giving credit to resident for the net rent proceeds usually received,less expenses for repairs and re-leasing. resident agrees that termination of his or her right to possession shall not terminate his or her obligation under this lease. in the event it becomes necessary for landlord and or property management to prepare eviction paperwork or serve any notice for compliance resident shall pay a $75 document preparation fee along with incurred court costs and reasonable attorney fees shall be awarded to the prevailing party in the eviction.”
To me it seems weird they are stating that if we break the lease violations or pay rent late that they have the right to possess the home and re-lease it without terminating our lease first. Is this legal in Colorado?

My apartment complex recently changed management from Preferred Apartment Communities to ZRS. I signed my lease in January and the management change happened in June. During the last few months I have occasionally checked the apartment’s website to see what the current rate is for available units in the complex - I am new to renting and am trying to better understand the trends in rental rates where I live. I noticed that immediately after the management change, the rent for all units jumped up by at least $200. The starting rate for the same floor plan and floor level I have now is about $500 more than what I currently pay.
So here is my question - since I signed my lease before the management change, will I be offered a reasonable increase based on some % of my original rate, or will they offer a rate that is similar to the current rate for vacant units? I like this apartment and don’t want to move, but I’m not sure I could afford a $500 increase in rent. I have heard that rent is more expensive during the summer months because it is a more common time to move, but I’m worried I’ll be priced out of my apartment when it comes time to renew my lease. I apologize for my ignorance in this matter, as I said I’m a new renter so I’m not sure how these things are determined. Any experiences or information is appreciated, TIA. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Due to unforseen complications with a neighbor and our kid, me and my wife have decided we want to break our lease and find a new home to live in.
Has anyone experienced this or gone through this? I'm aware that we will more than likely lose our security deposit (which is fine) and we know we will be responsible for rent until they can re lease it. but we see no path forward staying where we are.
Would our landlord use the security deposit towards the rent that needed covered? We have gotten an early termination quote last year when we wanted to buy a house, but they won't give us a new quote.
Any and all help is appreciated and thank you for your time! | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
What does it say in your lease about early termination? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It tells us an early termination fee will be applied. But that's it. Nothing else. Really don't want to screw our landlord over and we are fine paying two rents. But just want to know where the security deposit goes or if we could apply it to the early termination fee.
Lease gives no guidance on that :( | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Might be a long shot but ask the landlord if they are realtor. Maybe you could strike up a deal to use them to buy to get out of fees. I’ve seen it work before. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I back in with my car and accidentally hit the button of the garage door as it was going up… made one dent. Wish I had pictures to show but I don’t. Garage door is still working just find but now that we moved out, landlord wants to replace the bottom panel and has given us an estimate on how much it will cost, whopping $1875.
Any advises? I wish I knew someone who can just un-dent it. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

Apartment searching in IL and visited a property today. Walked into the leasing office and was “greeted” by an office lady who sounded like she absolutely hated her life. Anyways, the move out date for my current lease is sept 10. I am looking for a place where the lease starts around a week prior to that giving me time to clean my current place and move out all my stuff.
The lady said they have a unit available late August which didn’t work for me due to lack of washer/dryer but she said I wouldn’t have been able to rent that one anyways because they do not rent out units to people before their current lease is up. She then went on to say there are some units available sept 14-15. These would work because they have washer/dryer but they wouldn’t work because I would be homeless for a week before the lease starts.
I asked her how would it be possible for me to move out on the 10th and move in on the 15th, I would be homeless and have no place to put my furniture. She was pretty unwilling to elaborate on this policy but stated they do this so that they know if there is any outstanding payments/issues with the previous place before they allow people to move in.
My question is - is this standard practice for places to do this? How would you possibly make something like this work unless you are already homeless or moving straight from your parents place? Was she just a miserable lady who didn’t want me to move in? Thanks in advance. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
A few weeks ago, my landlord left a note at my door notifying me of lease renewal for the year. My rent should go from $2360 to $2580. I lost the paper and called to send me an online form.

Hello, everyone! On the 30th day after moving out of my apartment I still had not received word on the return of my security deposit. I contacted my landlord and the next day, 31 days after moving out, she sent me a list of damages that totaled my entire deposit. Besides not agreeing with the list whatsoever (that’s another issue), she did not send me the list until 31 days after I moved out. The law in Michigan states that I am entitled to the entire deposit if I don’t receive that list within 30 days. However, it also states that within 4 days of my moving out, I must provide a forwarding address. The problem is, I didn’t think to do this as all of our transactions have taken place over Venmo.
My question is this - do I have any legal ground to stand on to receive my deposit in full, and if so, how should I go about doing this? Thanks you very much for reading this! | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Hello, my North Carolina lease (with 4 roommates) ended May 25. Our landlord said he mailed the check to one of my roommates (who is now living in California) in June but after 2 weeks it never arrived. We had to harass him to cancel the old check and send us another one.
This time we asked them to send it to me; I live in a city 2 hours away from our old house in North Carolina, but it’s been 2 weeks again and I still haven’t gotten anything. Landlord won’t get the check certified, and can’t even confirm what day he sent it, although he claims it’s been sent. Am I getting screwed? What recourse do I have? I’ve read that landlords are obliged to return security deposits within 30 days in North Carolina, and at this point it’s been nearly twice that. | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Looks like you get to sue your landlord for failing to return your deposit.

I've been a long term renter of an apartment here in Colorado, for >5 years now, and it's changed owners 3 times. The latest owner, on my lease renewal, demanded my Xcel Energy Power Account number.
I have never had to provide this before, and I have never had to publish it to the complex previously, since it is our responsibility (like insurance) and not a shared utility.
Is this something new? Anyone here in Colorado know why they're suddenly demanding this information to renew? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

I'm reading over a lease for an apartment I was approved for a few days ago, and none of the utilities are covered in the base rent. It says water, sewer, and gas are "allocated based on a combination of square footage of your dwelling unit and the number of persons residing in your dwelling unit", and that trash is "allocated based on the number of persons residing in your dwelling unit".
I've never heard of this before so I'm a little confused as to the wording. Does that mean it only factors in my specific apartment, or is it the whole building I'll be living in? How would utilities be broken down if it were the latter? Would the cost of my monthly bill be dependent on other peoples usage? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It sounds like the owner of the building gets a single bill for each utility (1 water bill, for example). Then they turn around and bill you for your share of the cost.
Your share will be determined by a certain percentage of the bill. It sounds like that percentage is based on both the size of your apartment, and the amount of people living there. If the building as a whole uses more water in a specific month, your bill will go up, even if you personally used less water. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
This is in North Carolina. We have been living here for a few months.
For reference, the shower hadn’t been cleaned from the previous tenant so there was mildew/mold growing in almost every orafice of the shower. The moldy water from the shower has been dripped onto the floor after most showers. We leave the fan on for at least 10 minutes after every shower. The complex is telling me that this is just staining from water.. here are some photos. The first one is the “stain” and the second one is definite mildew in the caulking which we plan on replacing. The second image is there hopefully to give you an idea of how bad the mold may have been in the shower before I cleaned it.

We need a sticky thread here that says “no that is not mold”. Or at least not the kind that you’re thinking about. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
So it’s simply staining? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
There is mildew in the shower. It should be scrubbed or re-caulked but happens eventually to all showers and is harmless. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
What do you think about the floor outside of the shower? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Whatever it is, it’s not mold, it’s harmless, and it was that way when you agreed to rent it. If it doesn’t scrub up I’d just document it for when you move out and then forget about it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Spray some bleach on it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I just finished moving out of my old apartment in California and had received my full deposit back about 3 weeks ago. My landlord texted me today asking for a receipt of the cleaning crew hired because the new tenants are complaining it wasn’t cleaned even though he went through the house again and said it was ok. We did have a cleaning crew but I’m worried he might try to suck some money out of us. Should I be worried? If I got my deposit back doesn’t that mean I’m done with the agreement and nothing else can be done? | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Just so I understand.
You did a move out inspection with the LL, they returned your full deposit, the lease period is over, and now the LL is asking for you to pay for a cleaner? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Yes a full move out inspection and got the full deposit back. Our move out date was the first week of June. he’s not asking for new cleaners just the receipt of the ones we hired during our move out. I might be overthinking but I’m worried he might pull a move to make us pay for another one or something. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Property manager, CA. They cannot bill you again after the deposit has been resolved. You don't even need to respond to them. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
He certainly can’t make you do anything at this point. Your business with him has legally concluded. If you in have the receipt and are feeling generous then send it, if you don’t have it or don’t want to send it then don’t send it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Thank you so much, I knew I was overthinking I really appreciate it | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Thank you so much! I needed to hear this I figured I was overthinking. I really appreciate the help | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I’m sure the LL is just trying to prove to the new tenant that the unit was professionally cleaned prior to their arrival.
Some tenants are ultra picky at move in, so much to require additional resources to be sent to a unit to be cleaned again.
You’re not on the hook for any other monetary charges. But, if you’re comfortable passing a long the invoice or any other details I’m sure your LL would be appreciative.
Not a requirement, just a request. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I'm new to reddit and i figured id come here for help since idk where else to go, but when i posted i got my reddit account suspended (something about reddit filters), I think its because of how long the post was so ill keep it real short;
my landlord is one of the lowest rated rental companies in utah, and they take their sweet time answering repairs, now we have a broken stove, no communication from them and when i reached out to the emergency line they said it wasnt a emergency, they have a long history of poor communication and negligence of both employees and tenants and, I want to break the lease, but dont want to goto court if possible, what do I do? (ill answer any clarification questions you post i just need help) | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
How long has the stove been broken ? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Is it a red flag for an apartment to have a dehumidifier running all the time? I was looking at this one and they said the dehumidifier that was running in the living room runs 24/7 and it will come with the apartment for me to keep it running. I thought that was a whatever thing because tons of people have dehumidifiers until a family member said that seems like the apartment may have a moisture or mildew issue and that’s why a dehumidifier was running. Is this normal or a red flag?
| r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Unusual to say the least. I grew up in a house where we had a dehumidifier in the basement that we ran on demand when the basement got wet. They are not cheap to operate full time and unless it's piped in to drain, or manually emptied the water it removes from the air has to go somewhere. My experience is old, decades old so maybe things have changed. To me, it's a giant red flag on multiple levels. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Oh jeez that was kind of my fear. I may ask the landlord about it in that case i don’t want that to run any bills up that i’m not expecting.. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Do you live in a very humid state? Eg Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Hawaii or the like?
It maybe just a over abundance of caution on the LL's part as moisture related problems are common in those hot, humid environments and even with good prevention they can creep up on you. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
I live in pennsylvania so i’d say not really. That’s quite helpful tho that’s also a possibility. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Hmm, I dunno then. I would just ask and see what they say for why they want it running all the time. Are you paying the power bill? If so dehumidifiers tend to be thirsty on the angry pixies. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
