Like other posters, I moved back to the US from overseas and moved here. I liked it a lot as I had a competent rental agent who really helped me. However, after 6 months I got a rent increase that ranges anywhere from 30-50%!

They say everyone's rent is skyrocketing, but that's not true. They are in walking distance to Oracle and comparing themselves to the new expensive stuff across 580 in Dublin.

Be very careful that you are only here for short term. A colleague of mine at work said he and his wife and done a similar thing and found their rent increasing 20%.

They do tell you about utilities costs and all the other stuff if you pay attention, but my apartment was in the $1600s when I moved in and now it's going for $2090-2795 depending on how long you want to lease. And that's about 1000 square feet only. Ridiculous. Absolutely insane.

yeh, I totally agree. Ridiculous. Absolutely insane. My rent fee has increse $850 more for a month. I can't afford this. And feel like a foolish person to move in this apt. Is there any department we can contact to impeach?? Let's do something to stop this crazy apartment.
