I learned in the past week the housing authority in my area stopped approving rent increases May 1, 2025.

Hi, I’m looking for ways to increase the value of my four family without displacing tenants to do renovations.

The tenant called me yelling and screaming and even had her case worker call me saying the rent increase was unreasonable. 

Rent increases can be requested.

We always have seasonality with rent prices coming down in the fall, but it feels like a little more than normal this year.

when i talk with other owners near me when they ask for help increasing their revenue, i start with their pictures and their designs.

Hi everyone,For landlords in Cook County, Illinois who rent to Section 8 (HACC Housing Choice Voucher) tenants:If I already have a tenant in place, am I allowed to increase the rent to the current Fair Market Rent according to the Housing Authority of Cook County?

Or can you terminate the lease for not paying the increase.

Basic answer, but to increase cash flow you have to increase income or reduce expenses. 

With rent caps that only allow $50 or $100/mo increases they will never collect market rent.
