Discussion about
how much has yours increased? expected increase for NYC rental market?
Renewed last Fall @ 5% increase - 1BR apt, lower Manhattan. However, a neighbor's rent just went up by 20% in the same building. Neighbor has larger apt, better view, and with a Spring renewal date, it tends to be a busier time, with less flexibility for negotiating with landlords. Plus NYC rental market continues to be very tight, especially downtown.
