I have a two car brick garage I rent out now to someone using it for
storage. It was supposed to be use of the garage only but this
character took over my garage, threw out what he wanted of my stuff,
and won't give me a key. They have been there almost five years at a
rental of $250 a month. It has electric, and they have exclusive
access. They have it stuffed to the gills for storage. I want to raise
the rent $50, and was told I'm being greedy. I don't think one rent
increase in 4 1/2 years is greedy. Shouldn't this go for much more?
It's in a lux neighborhood in Brooklyn. I would appreciate any advice
from someone who knows the rental market for this type of thing.
Thanks!
PS. Please also e-mail if kind enough to respond.
