BOSTON—Apologizing to his tenant for circumstances that were beyond his control, local landlord Eddie Turley was reportedly forced Monday to raise the rent due to thinking of a bigger number. “You can re-sign your lease, but I have to raise it by $250 a month because I realized there was a bigger number your rent…
At my apartment complex, I made friends with the supervisor. He was asked to recalculate the rent, and because we were buds, was able to not raise rent on me. But he HAD to raise rent for new renters by 25%.
I asked if he gets anything out of it, like a raise… And he said no.
I moved out for other reasons. But it was kinda fucked up.
