sadly, yes...it killed me to raise thier rent, they moved in october of 2007, i did a quick clean up, painting, wallpapering, new (never had a stand alone) water heater, new electrical outlets, 2 new ceiling fans, then in 2009, new gas heating system one for them, one for mom/dad's apartment....so from 2007 till this month..same rent.....
That is a long time to not raise rent.
