What is reasonable here?

I definitely give a discount to longer term rents who pay on time and haven't bugged me. I'd say $4,000 to $4,200 would be fair compromise.

As predicted, she showed me listings that were between $4400 and $5400. And then SHE asked me to name my range. I said $4000-4200 is our limit for this particular unit. She said she could not go lower than $4200. I let her have that. The Zestimate is currently $4900 for our place. I feel like, at this point, $4200 is still a win for us. Really, REALLY didn't want to have to move this particular summer.
 
Thanks for the followup.

The guy i raised the rent on last year just bought a place out east and vacated in MAR.
i raised my rent by 10% and am about to rent to a new tenant.

Still below market price...by a lot, but I don't know how people can pay so much.
I wouldn't pay that much for my house.

Glad to hear that your landlord was reasonable and only raised the rent to $4,200. I do see rental prices flattening out and even dipping a bit recently.
