No one seems to complain about boat prices rising every year due to “greed”. Everyone is just happy to get their boat.
No one is complaining their pool contractor is taking too much profits, they are just happy to relax in their backyard.
I also got annoyed every time my storage space went up in price here at home. But when a T shirt costs $30 in Havasu, your storage price is going up too. I hate prices rising as well, but in the end these are business decisions. I see it from both sides as a property manager. Taxes only continue to rise, maintenance costs only go up, utilities only go up, wages go up. That means rent goes up for tenants. They are in business to provide a service for a profit, not run a charity. The market will tell them if they are out of line.
Call it greed, call it whatever you want, but he is providing a storage service at the price the market will bear. And when it comes down to it, his tenants are happy to just have a secure space to put their boats, and most will begrudgingly pay the increase, or they will leave to try to find a cheaper alternative.
NOPE!!, GREED.
JUST BE HAPPY TO HAVE A PLACE !!
