Key thing is just as in Ireland is that landlords generally keep rents stable for good tenants. However some take a no-nonsense approach to needy tenants.

“My unwritten rule is: You don’t bother me, I don’t bother you.”

One tenant whom he had been renting to since 2006 “was like a ghost,” he said approvingly, so he was happy to keep her at the same rent that she paid when she moved into the three-bedroom duplex garden apartment, $2,500 a month. But last summer, the tenant got a new roommate who started calling him all the time about what he said were minor problems or nonissues. So at renewal time, he sent them a letter raising the rent to $4,500.”
