    I think that’s how it should be and probably used to be. A lot of landlords with very few rentals.

    Nowadays, we have literal company optimizing everything to get the most out of their investment. If they can increase, they will.

    A landlord that does this as a side business won’t necessarily increase the rent because he will prefer to have a good relationship because he does not want to spend all his time searching for new tenants.

      I feel like even a big company should want to have a good relationship with its tenants. If you lose just one month’s rent, you’re out over 8% of your annual revenue and you’re lucky if that’s even your profit margin in the first place.
