Did they tell you anything about the upcoming construction?

lol this is the building I'm speaking of

Feels like they're taking tips from the airline industry.....

I can only speak for high-rise buildings as I've never seen this sort of thing with smaller landlords. They will not mention these fees on their listings, but when you come for a walkthrough, they provide you with a sheet of all the potential fees, some of which are mandatory. I don't think they're even listed on their websites....

I just assumed it was a JC high-rise thing....not that we have a choice anyway

They said it's a mandatory fee on top of increasing the water bill from $30/month to $40. This is in addition to a 10% rent increase. I get they want to increase rent but shouldn't that cover this kind of thing.....

Just received. Exactly as you said.

I’ve been hearing 10% too. But with construction starting i’m hoping it’s going to be less.

I hope so. I was bracing for the worst since it’s a managed building and they usually don’t care about retaining existing tenants. Wouldn’t even let me sign a two year last year.
