I mean it’s ridiculous because the apartment didn’t have much to offer to charge that much. Other complexes nearby had washer and dryers in the apartment and they charged less. But had no availability

I was 19. Moved into an apartment with my boyfriend of 3 years at the time. I worked as a receptionist part time and went to school part time. This was back in 2003ish. Rent for a one bedroom was $760 so it was very manageable with us splitting the bills. We stayed in that apartment for 9 years. Rent was $1000 by the time we left. The same apartment right now costs $1250 which is absolutely ridiculous.
