Sunshine in regards to rent increase they sent us a letter a few months ago saying it would go up by 15 a week, fine they want to put it up they can BUT not untill they did stuff around the house and maintained it. we had asked them for so long to fix things that needed fixing etc and they never did, so i went to the real estate and told them exactly this, and do u klnow what they didnt even have all the stuff that we had asked them to fix in there bloody system!!!!

U have rights, and they need to keep the property maintained and fix things that need fixing and in general keep it in good condition or they cant justify a rent increase
I gave the real estate a list of things that needed to be fixed. As long as the oven is fixed and the blinds are fixed all the other things I can live with...
I have offered to sign a 12month lease with a $10 increase but no more than that. We were the same, all the stuff I keep telling them isn't recorded and/or listed on the inspection reports.
