Re: My landlord wants to increase our rent at the end of our lease...
If comparable rentals are cheaper than $900, then find some of them and show him the listings for them. You can then probably negotiate a little further down by pointing out that you've been model tenants.

Not Kelly. No management or anything to go through. Just one dude who owns 2 properties.
He is closing off the room during 1 week in the summer, working during the day while I'm at work. I can't find comparable places that are cheaper because there isn't that much listed until February or March.

If you want, you can probably just not let him do that until after your lease runs out, which would be a pain for him. You might be able to use that as some sort of bargaining chip to haggle the rent down a bit. Other than that, you seem screwed.

If he won't compromise, you can probably find a better deal close enough to where you are that moving won't be a huge pain.
