Thank you so much!! I definitely will. I was hoping when I was making this post that someone would mention how this might not be legal. Will totally look into it, and thank you again!

YES! Thank you- that’s a huge help! They actually tried to tell me they’re charging more for a studio because there is a scarcity of them in the area… insane logic. Hope you like your new place!

Thanks- wish I could but what I had saved for a down payment went into a new car after my old one was stolen. Hopefully can buy in about a year

I’m so sorry to hear that- hope you were able to find something else you liked. The more I read about Maryland real estate laws, the more annoyed I get…

Congratulations on the house! I’m hoping to be able to buy next year, but it’s so hard to save with these crazy prices. Don’t feel badly about it- there are great landlords out there, and you could be one of them! Thanks again for your help

VERY true! I should clarify I don’t like walking around at night (or even driving because of the car jackings) but feel safe in the building. I don’t love being downtown, but would rather be here than in a row home in a sketchier part of town where I’d have to walk my dog further to get to the park. May I ask what neighborhood you’re in now? I’d much prefer being closer to the county, but those prices really went through the roof, so I figured if I’m in the city, Patterson park, locust point, and fed hill are the safest.

Hello! Thanks so much- this was really helpful!! They’re justifying the parking increase to ‘make it consistent’ but I know no one was paying more than $100. They are just raising it because they can, and you’re totally right, it’s not even a nice garage. I called and they lowered the parking to $125, but not much of a help and wouldn’t budge on anything else. Great idea about the Facebook group- I don’t have one but will reactivate just to check. The people I e causally asked in the building have mentioned they’re not going to renew, so maybe come May they’ll lower it. Thanks again!!!

Scare tactic sounds about right! Thanks so much- will definitely hold off on signing this renewal.

Love that you could come back at them! It’s insane what so many landlords are trying to do… definitely not in love with this neighborhood, but really want to feel safe, so sometimes that limits options. I used to live closer to the county line and now those prices are at least 800 more for what I previously rented.
Congrats on the house! Hope to get there myself one day. Thanks again

Thank you- I really appreciate your perspective and totally see where you’re coming from, but I had about a month to find a new place to live and this was the only place I felt safe and would allow my dog within my price budget. When it was 1600, it wasn’t so bad.
This building didn’t seem to be tier a before, but the new company is trying to portray it as a ‘luxury’ building which seems insane to me.
Thanks again

Hi- nope, but they’re pretty low. Maybe $60 for BGE and $30 for water. Sorry to hear about your prices being so high- mine skyrocketed when I was in a house not too long ago. Hope they stabilize soon.
Thanks for acknowledging the landlord problem- I’m in this apartment in the first place because I got kicked out of my previous rental with a month to find a new place, so I had really limited options. They’re really doing whatever to hike prices- I’ve lived in Baltimore 6 years and never had issues like this…
Thanks again!

Thanks- I think it’s tough because of location, but it for sure feels too expensive…

Thanks but the row homes are at least 2k- I’ll keep looking though!

Thanks but I’ve actually tried- there was a house up for rent for 2200 a month 😓

Ugh yeah, I’ve checked around and there are lower prices, but not that allow dogs. Really frustrating… thanks so much for your reply!

For real- I paid 1500 for a three bedroom house two years ago… things have really gotten crazy

Ugh tell me about it… thanks so much for letting me know though- if I end up staying, it’ll be nice to know other people in the area are paying about the same. Thanks so much but I won’t be out until May, but I’ll keep that building in mind.
