Rent increase
We are hoping this is a typo, but it seems that our landlord may have just increased our rent from $1500 for a 2br, 5 room place quite near to Davis to $1825. Craigslist does not indicate that this is consistent with the market, as far as we're seeing. Seem a little odd to anyone? Is there something we haven't considered? We were braced for a $25/month increase as of a notice in April, but this is quite a bit more than that, as you can see.
ETA:
Thanks everyone! We finally got in touch with our property manager and it WAS a typo.

We had the situation where our landlord raised our rent $400 a month, and gave us TWO weeks notice. This was on an apartment in Porter Square, and we had had a verbal agreement that he wouldn't raise it more than $50/month. I spoke to the Attorney general's office and they said, basically, "sucks to be you, yes he can do that." This was a few years ago and the market was way tighter than it is now.
