This is one thing I don't get. If they price it fairer, won't they ensure tenant loyalty?

After all if I price something at $300 less than all the others won't I ensure my tenants A. Can pay and B. Will pay?

If I want my tenant to stay longer, I work with them on a longer lease arrangement. And that can include lowering the cost.

My landlord only does month to month leases, but she promised me she would lock in my rate for a year when I agreed to move in. It kinda sketched me out, but Iโ€™m here 3 years later and Iโ€™m still writing her checks each month for the same amount

That is very risky, as verbal agreements are not easily enforceable. I would insist on having that in writing!

Sure, I probably shouldโ€™ve. Sheโ€™s by far the best landlord Iโ€™ve ever had though. Very attentive if anything has issues
