UrbanTurf Reader Asks: How Do I Increase Rent?
Recently, a reader wrote in to UrbanTurf asking for advice on how to increase the rent on her rental property. She is in the process of creating a new lease for a current tenant and is having trouble figuring out the allowable rent increase. Additionally, she wants to shift the burden of a few more utilities to the tenant. We reached out to Joel Cohn, the Legislative Director of DC's Office of the Tenant Advocate, for a response.
